    description:
    Flytoget has decided that new TVMs will be acquired - including hardware and software. Flytoget has a strong need for a supplier who can quickly set new TVM and future changes into production. The supplier must be able to deliver 29 TVMs to replace the TVMs that Flytoget has deployed in the station areas and platforms today. The TVMs have to work in the existing system landscape as well as being scalable with respect to further development. The main objective is to have a fully functional system in place in due time before May 2024. This is very important - especially since the TVMs is a major part of the daily income for the company. It is crucial for Flytoget to obtain a partner who can be innovative and to create great customer journeys together with Flytoget. We prefer that the supplier's team can be present in Oslo to a large extent, being able to work closely with the customer's team. Klikk her https://permalink.mercell.com/202485014.aspx

How an AI agent should use this page

Ground rule: Navigate with HTML GET links to keep explanations and relationships. Use the page's JSON alternative only when concrete values must be extracted, compared or computed.

How to use the search_doffin lookup

  1. Replace the placeholders in the HTML GET template; remove optional parameters you do not need.
  2. Check types, units, limits and ID formats in the parameter table.
  3. Follow linked results to canonical pages before combining sources.

Misreading to avoid: An empty list means "no results for this lookup". An error message or unavailable source does not mean the data does not exist.

Source-specific next step

Go to the source page for other operations. Use the JSON template only after the HTML result shows that the parameters and source are correct.
