NORWOOD, Mass. -- e-ClassicSystems Inc. has integrated an Asset Configuration module into its ATM Manager Pro software suite. According to a news release, the Asset Configuration module offers financial institutions tighter controls and greater understanding of their ATM assets.
The company says that ATM Manager Pro tracks and maintains asset configuration information for ATMs, kiosks and point-of-sale terminals. The Asset Configuration module builds and manages all acquisition, configuration and asset management and disposition aspects of each terminal including all hardware, software and communication components of each terminal; vendor and user supplied options; contents and purpose of each dispenser in the terminal; warranty and service contract data; all signage options; and upgrade history.
"Tracking our assets and understanding what our customers see in the market is of paramount importance to us," said Jack Coffey, vice president, Electronic Banking Services at Citizens Bank. "The Asset Configuration module will enable anyone in our organization to know what terminals are deployed, how they are configured, and what terminals need upgrades. We are committed to streamlining our information management and ATM Manager Pro continues to push the envelope in the support of our ATM network."
According to the release, more than 35 customers utilize ATM Manager Pro to manage over 26,000 ATMs.
In addition to the Asset Configuration module, the other four modules in ATM Manager Pro are: Location and Transaction Management, which maintains essential location information and collects transaction data from each processor; Terms, Accounting and Profitability, which catalogs contract terms and agreements with third parties and automatically computes ATM profitability; Cash Management, which forecasts cash needs and manages cash orders, replenishments and vault cash; and Event Management, which tracks terminal events to understand downtime and work completed.
