"Go Cashless"

Imagine a system in which parents fund a student’s account online via credit card or a student does the same with cash via a prepayment kiosk.

That student then uses their personalized photo ID card to quickly purchase lunch through an Express Line. Colorful signage and fun messaging directs the student to the appropriate place.

Or perhaps the student wishes to use their Personalized Identification Number (PIN) at a healthy vending machine or even another remote serving station employing a wireless POS terminal.

The student then uses their card outside of the lunch room as a bus pass and for the purchase of a school dance ticket through the integration of disparate SIF certified software applications.

Now imagine all of this managed within the same system in near real time. This is the true definition of “Going Cashless.”

Below we have charted the benefits of integrating various elements of our products and services to create a truly cashless system.

Traditional Prepayments vs. WebSMARTT powered WinSNAP / myLunchMoney.com / myPAL Kiosk:

New Way: WebSMARTT powered by WinSNAP/myLunchMoney.com/myPAL Kiosk	Old Way: Traditional Payment
Provides accurate, real-time, automated updates to POS	If prepayment is done at the site it will occur in real time, otherwise the payment would be at least one day behind
Prepayment data automatically links to accounting and financial systems via SIF	Links to disparate are only possible if operating within SIF environment
Eliminates need for manual entry or offline tracking	No online tracking available. Manual entry required in each instance
Produces up-to-the-minute reporting on cash collected	If prepayment is done at the site it will occur in real time, otherwise the payment would be at least one day behind
Limits cash handling, reducing the chance of error or theft	Check prepayments would lead to reduced cash handling, but increase labor expense in dealing with checks (NSF). Cash handling without online credit card acceptance and kiosks would be far greater
Multiple automated prepayment points reduce staff workloads	Prepayments collected and entered manually at site or administrative office. Other options not available.
Facilitates completely “cashless” lunch line environment, improving convenience and customer service	Not cashless
Allows parents to set up recurring prepayments	All payments must be made in person in each funding instance
Enables multiple points of reconciliation of cash collected by school	Single points of reconciliation
Enables remote monitoring of cash collected	Remote monitoring not available

SL-Tech is the first provider to see the big picture and act upon it.
