  Höft & Wessel develops, manufactures and distributes hard- and software and provides complete system solutions in three business segments:

Skeye with mobile data capture for retail and field service, Almex with products for ticketing & transport and Metric with parking products. Since its foundation Höft & Wessel has realised many projects specifically tailored to the customers needs.

  
It all starts with mobile data acquisition. More than 25,000 of the first PDE device, the HW 9016, were sold. And they are still in use. Based on this first invention, Höft Wessel developed a large product range for the trade, logistics, telematics, and internet market. These products are used to acquire, temporarily store and process data. Using such a mobile data acquisition device, trade organisations can easily speed up, secure and simplify processes in the field of order management, goods logistics, inventory, goods income, and flow control of goods. The components are tailored to the individual fields of application and the customer's needs. Data is transmitted via fixed line network or different radio technologies.

  
DECT/FHSS/WLAN Modules  
  Höft and Wessel has been a pioneer in providing fundamental technologies for wireless data transmission like WirelessLAN-, DECT, FHSS and GSM. When developing such products system integration is a main priority. Thus, all modules are interface-compatible.

 
The Almex portfolio features ticketing for bus, tram, railway, airline, and toll collection:
Products include stationary ticket vending machines and ticket printers for rail networks, busses and trams, mobile ticket vending devices for all fields of applications as well as check-in-terminals for airlines. In addition, kiosk solutions, info screens and individual backoffice solutions tailored to the customer's needs are offered.

  
Via its Metric subsidiary, located in Swindon near London, Höft & Wessel provides proven solutions for on-/off-street parking control. This includes pay and display terminals as well as complex parking management systems for use in parking garages and on parking sites. The systems base on access barriers combined with payment terminals featuring the know how of metrics engineers as well as the experiences of co-operative partners. Until now, Metric Parking has been installed more than 70,000 parking systems in 46 countries and has become the market leader in Great Britain.
