Your regional customer care partner knows your equipment and can assist with ordering replacement parts for maintenance or repair, as well as spare hardware to have on hand.

Self-service on the Genfare Customer Portal

In addition to opening a Genfare customer care request over the phone or via email, you can create a support ticket directly through our customer portal with a software service agreement. This makes it easy to share all the relevant information, including pictures or screen shots, and is available 24/7. The portal also has user guides, frequently asked questions, and other information you can search to get answers on the spot.

Frequently asked questions

How do I request Genfare support for my fare collection solution?

How to request support for Genfare products depends on the type of support package you have:

If you have a Software Support Agreement, create a case in the Genfare Customer Portal. You will be able to monitor the case progress and communicate with a technical support engineer via the portal.

If you are under warranty or have a support contract, contact the Customer Care team at 847-871-1231 or genfare.customercare@spx.com. Customer care will create a case based on the urgency of the issue and assign it to Technical Support. If you have project-based support, contact your project manager directly and they will create a support ticket.

If you are out of warranty and do not have a support agreement, you may purchase an annual support contract which allows for unlimited calls or request a quote for project-based support by calling your business development director or account manager.
