IBA Contactless System
The IBA Contactless System is a system based on touch–free technologies and is intended for companies and educational institutions. The system automates access control and time tracking, and allows for internal non–cash payments.
Description of the system
The IBA Contactless System is a suite of software and hardware designed to create a unified system of access control, time tracking, and internal cashless payments for goods and services.
Structure of the system
- Central system server that processes all requests
- Points of sale with touch screen
- Points of admittance with turnstiles connected
- Point of card issuance with card printers
- Workplaces of administrators and accountants.
All operations within the system are carried out using a touch–free plastic card. The design of the card can be defined by the customer.
Functions
The main element of the system is an employee's touch–free plastic card. Using this card as an electronic key, a person is identified at the checkpoints. The system also controls physical access to the company's territory and restricts access to certain areas. In addition, the touch — free plastic card is used for internal cashless payments within a company or educational institution.
The input of money sums intended for internal cashless payments using the IBA CONTACTLESS SYSTEM may be carried out from information and payment terminals of Belarusian banks. As soon as the user deposits money, it is transferred to the company's account. From time to time, the bank generates a register of payments and sends it to the company. The company adds the money to internal accounts of its employees in accordance with the register.
The internal account can be used to organize the company's social package. For example, a particular sum of money can be transferred daily for the subsidized meals of employees.
When implemented in educational institutions, additional features of the system may be used. Parents can take advantage of SMS alerts and be always aware of their child's whereabouts. When a child passes turnstiles or pays for his/her meals, parents receive an SMS or e–mail notification. A child does not need to carry cash with him/her as all the purchases are made through his/her internal card. In addition, parents can fix a limit of funds available on the card, thus excluding cases of theft, loss, or misuse of the money.
The system keeps records of all users, their accounts, events within the system, transactions, and generates reports, if necessary.
