Terminal Processing Department Cost Reduction Methods
1.
Various reports calculate the dynamic changes in our existing ATM
management portfolio by week, month, year, processor and geographical
area. This information is displayed in actual numbers and percentage
of change. These reports pinpoint problem areas allowing us to focus
on remedies and solutions.
2.
Specific procedures and objective restraints have been put in place
regarding cash ordering.
3.
All incoming ACH activity is reconciled on a daily basis. This applies
to all settlement deposits.
Technical
Support/Service Department Cost Reduction Methods
1.
AmericaOne's proactive procedures are built around our cornerstone
of customer service. AmericaOne's proactive proprietary software,
TracOne extracts information from raw processor data, creates
our exclusive customizable reports and builds a usable historical
database of all transactions, activity levels and reversal/denial
information. This information is used to proactively monitor and improve
the effectiveness of all AmericaOne terminals. Terminals showing abnormal
levels of reversals, denials or anomalies in transactional levels
are quickly evaluated and timely corrective action is implemented
by AmericaOne's terminal processing and Customer Services Support
Departments.
2.
AmericaOne's proactive management systems quickly identify problem
terminals and by doing so, enhance our ability to maximize terminal
availability and profitability. As a value added service to our
customers, they are notified of problems as they arise, frequently
before they are even aware their unit is down. This helps to quickly
identify problems, implement solutions and return their terminals
into service.
3.
Proactive monitoring minimizes downtime. Increased uptime and cost
containment has allowed monthly breakevens at 69% less than well
known financial institutions. In comparison to published industry
averages, AmericaOne, through our cost reduction efforts, has achieved
operating profits, currently unattainable by most institutions,
on ATMs with relatively low transactional volumes.
4.
The continual development of TracOne creates an environment where
a small number of personnel have the ability to maintain a large
portfolio of terminals. Technical support personnel only need to
address the units flagged by the Zero Transaction Report.
5.
The volume of incoming calls has been drastically reduced. Historical
data demonstrates a 55% drop in incoming calls after the implementation
of this procedure. This again increases profitability by allowing
AmericaOne to drive a larger number of terminals with minimal personnel.
