ColorID's Cash-Free Products & Services

ColorID Higher Education Transaction Management Solution Universities, technical institutes and community colleges are automating millions of transactions on campus for greater reporting, reduced costs and no cash handling. The time and money saved can be better spent on learning and teaching. The key is a comprehensive transaction management system like ColorID’s Transaction Management Solution. This system allows users to charge their activity to student or staff campus accounts. Students pay for services and purchases from money in their account, accessed by ID card, user code or biometric identifier. Staff can allocate print, copy and other expenses to departmental accounts, improving financial control. ColorID Transaction Solution authorizes and tracks staff use of services and devices, so a university is able to define who uses them and when. It can enforce sensible print policies to reduce waste.

Students pay for, staff charge what they use Students can pay library fines, parking, printing, PC time and laundry, as well as buy goods and services on campus and at local merchants, all through their account. A student card can now be everything - an ID, library, building access and charge card, when it is linked to one account that processes all activity. With students able to swipe a card or key a code for self service in libraries and departments, staff are freed from collecting and reconciling cash. Many universities and banks together offer students a bank debit account accessed through a student card. ColorID’s transaction software can route students’ campus transactions to this account, if they choose. This way a bank debit account can be used to pay all study and living costs, including on-line purchases. The more services that can be bought using a campus account, the greater the 'float' of credit which pays interest to the university. The more services paid for through the account, the greater the revenue.

A campus account does it all ...
Universities and colleges can start with core modules such as copy, printing and building access, and add PC charging or point of sale later. ColorID’s Transaction Management Systems are highly scalable, using low cost, yet comprehensive transaction management software. Administrators can be confident that any new user-pays service will recover its costs.
