Automatic
vending installations are increasingly adopting
cashless solutions because cashless offers numerous
immediate advantages. Cashless is easier to install, safer, and
cheaper than traditional payment systems.
Each end user can buy products and services utilizing a convenient
electronic Paykey. This,
in turn, reduces the use of bills, coins, and the inconvenience
of change. The features and technical solutions of the cashless
systems considerably increase the whole vending
system reliability and performance:
Vandalism
Vending machines are costly. The money collected inside the machines
makes them vulnerable to vandalism. In
a cashless system this problem is substantially solved or limited
to monitored areas.
Credit card recharging
The Paykey's can be also reloaded with the RCS101 system using the
Credit Card. The "E-port Credit Card Reader" designed
by USA technology is available to give at your customers a second
way to recharge own Paykey.
Money handling
Cashless systems drastically reduce money collecting and sorting
times. These operations are only required where vending machines
are equipped with money validators. Furthermore, the amount of coins
collected decreases in favor of bills.
Change machines
With a cashless system, machines designed to change bills and large
coins into supported coins are not required. This is a significant
savings on resources.
Flexibility
An advanced cashless system introduces many new features including
user grouping, discounts, time bands, and free services.
It also allows the vendor to monitor each machine's usage, to block
lost keys, and to control the users' access.
Accountability features allow the vending machine to modify the
distribution of goods and to easily detect possible system inefficiencies.
More benefits for attendants and accountants
- Attendant inserts keys into machines to obtain
machine specific readings.
- Attendant either writes report or returns
accounting keys to the office.
- Accountant inserts key in base unit
to retrieve full accounting report from machines.
