A Practical Starting Point

Big Networks Deserve a Thoughtful Evaluation.

For a large vending or unattended retail operator, introducing a different payment model requires more than evaluating a card. It requires understanding the existing payment environment, customer requirements and operational structure.

The Scallix Prepaid Cards System offers a closed-loop prepaid approach in which funds are made available in advance and participating users purchase from an existing prepaid balance.

An enterprise evaluation can help determine where the model may fit, which purchases could qualify and what business or technical considerations should be addressed.

WHAT THE EVALUATION SHOULD ESTABLISH
Business Fit Understand the intended operating environment and business objectives.
Financial Opportunity Estimate the potential impact on eligible payment processing expenses.
Operational Requirements Identify customer, location and program management requirements.
Technical Considerations Review the relevant payment and integration requirements.
