ViasChile will benefit from a new Emovis Operational Back Office (OBO) solution that will improve the productivity of electronic transaction processing and the quality of the data obtained in toll gantries. Known as Emovis Qualify, the solution ensures 100% management of the transactions sent by the roadside systems, using different robots and algorithms.

Emovis, part of Abertis Mobility Services, will implement the solution in collaboration with, ViasChile. The Emovis OBO in Chile will impact Autopista Central, the largest urban highway that crosses the capital city Santiago from north to south through two high-speed express lanes.

“"As VíasChile, we trust that Emovis' experience will provide a solution that meets the challenges and requirements for managing our back-office platform. This project is part of the Company's strategy, where customer focus is one of the fundamental pillars of the projects we execute. This initiative will allow us to remain a global leader in the electronic tolling industry," commented Andrés Barberis, General Director of VíasChile.

Emovis will build on its 10-year experience and expertise in implementing free-flow tolling system OBOs for the likes of Metropistas in Puerto Rico, A25 in Canada, Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority in the US, Sanef in France and Mersey Gateway and Dartford Crossing in the UK, among others. The scalable solution can support any type of roadside system.

“Our OBO is designed with a high degree of automation to manage very high volumes of data with minimal manual intervention,” said Christian Barrientos, CEO of Abertis Mobility Services – Emovis. “The system is tailored to local client needs across the world and brings continual innovation to enable robust revenue collection. It will adapt and evolve to meet the needs of our stakeholders in Chile.”

The implementation of the OBO is part of ViasChile’s Operational Domain Design Project, conducted by Commercial Operation Area, Technology and Innovation team and Processes and Environment Area.

Emovis will support ViasChile throughout the implementation of the OBO ranging from the definition of business rules to its smooth integration to third-party systems. The contract was signed in May 2024. The first phase began in July and will last 18 months in total.
