BANKTECH

THE POWER OF ONE SOLUTION FOR ALL YOUR CASH, GAMING AND DIGITAL PAYMENT NEEDS

Integrating smart technology with Banktech

With so many inputs and systems to juggle around managing cash, staffing challenges and gaming floor efficiencies, it can be a difficult balancing act to get right. Using an integrated gaming and cash management solution could be the answer.

Cash usage might be declining but it certainly isn’t dead yet. While gaming is still very much a cash transaction, venues still need to account for cash for food & beverage, TAB terminals, cash redemption terminals and ATMs. Cash recyclers are one way of streamlining processes back of house. 

“Time consuming tasks like dispensing tills and balancing are made so much easier and quicker. These types of devices can also make daily clearances and reconciliation more accurate and reduce shrinkage,” states Banktech GM of sales, Henry Kiwarkis.

Save time and hours with smart tech

Smart devices such as automated cashier safes and cash redemption terminals have revolutionised gaming payouts across venues. These have helped remove the need for manual payouts by staff and rostering staff to process cash and cheque payouts.

The same applies to the use of cash recyclers in speeding up (with accuracy) gaming clearances and balancing your safe. It also helps save on labour input.

“We all know how those additional hours can add up in a roster – every week, every month, every year – affecting your wages to sales figures and ultimately the bottom line,” says Kiwarkis.

The necessity of a good gaming system is a given. Venues need to ensure devices are all hooked into an operating system that can make every machine visible and offer the latest in enhancements.

System add-ons like TITO and loyalty are a must when looking for efficiencies and better customer service delivery. A good gaming system should offer these functionalities as a minimum.

Smart reporting is also an important feature of a gaming system in saving time and stress. Good reporting can provide an invaluable lens on your gaming floor performance and help with making operational and broader business decisions.

One solution

While there are several individual solutions to saving time, cost and stress, the real answer lies in being able to bring all of these tech capabilities together so that you have complete visibility over your operations. You should be able to see what you want, when you want and from the palm of your hand.

“OmniVISION is Banktech’s online portal that allows users to check everything from cash levels in their devices to how their gaming floor is performing at any given time. This allows you the peace of mind to be able to check in whenever you want,” explains Kiwarkis.

Smart Support equals less stress

Even the smartest tech can hit a glitch from a power surge or human error. Good support when you need it 24/7 goes a long way in reducing worry and stress by giving peace of mind that someone in the know is there to help. Service providers like Banktech and UTOPIA Gaming Systems are a great example of where a local on-shore help desk is just a phone call away. No tickets, no recorded messages – just help when you need it.

To find out how you can save time, cost and stress in running your venue, call Banktech today on 1800 08 09 10 or visit them at Stand #310 at the AGE.

  • Purpose-built dashboard engine - powered by an Enterprise Data Warehouse
  • AI and ML algorithms for clustering, pattern recognition and anomaly detection

As a hospitality operator, you’re likely using multiple disparate and/or legacy systems to run your business: POS, labour, gaming, table booking, table ordering, membership, surveys …

Each of these data sources has the potential to drive business improvements – to top and bottom line – IF relevant data reaches the hands of decision-makers in an automated, timely, convenient and accurate manner.

It all starts with an enterprise data warehouse and a user interface that lets you easily see results, trends and correlations, yielding powerful strategic and daily decision-making insights. We’ve delivered precisely these data solutions to some of Australia’s most iconic venues. Even more exciting is what’s possible for your business when artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms are put to work on your relevant data points.

ACE assesses your membership on a daily basis to identify qualifying candidates for onboarding, reactivation, survey, voucher and birthday communications – and our templates make setup easy.

This type of customer engagement has been shown to boost spend by over 10% and visitation by up to 20% - not to mention the positive effect on NPS and word of mouth.

And as if that weren’t enough, after standard customer journeys are rolled out, our clients can leverage our machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms to deliver ever-more delightfully personalised experiences for their members.

With quick onboarding, a convenient monthly subscription, no lock-in contract, and needing no additional IT infrastructure, COMPASSIFY could mean the difference between struggling and thriving in the present challenging environment.

DIGITAL SIGNS AUSTRALIA

LED KILLED THE VIDEO WALL STAR

Newly developed LED technology makes video walls obsolete, with old style video walls going the way of the VCR and DVD player. LED video walls do away with the annoying lines, and coupled with new processors give venues the ability to display multiple sports at the same time, customise the screen in real time, and display advertising for the venue.

If your venue has a video wall in it with multiple screens stuck together and lines running through it, it’s the equivalent of going down to the local video store versus streaming on Netflix. Video wall technology has come a long way, and the newest advancement is the LED screen.

Where once considered too expensive to challenge the video wall market, this is no longer the case with LED screens now on par cost-wise with its less attractive cousin, and no longer do you need to be dictated on how big your screen can be, by 40” and 55” TVs. 

DSA’s Multi Display Sports Screens are one of a kind in the market, incorporating the very best LED modules, with the most intelligent AV equipment to give venue managers the ability to control their screens like never before. DSA has rolled out these LED screens into multiple hotels, pubs and clubs across NSW.

Hoteliers and venue managers now have the ability to display multiple sports at the same time, customise the screen in real time and display in-venue advertising – all controlled by an iPad – giving managers more flexibility during the day to switch from sport to sport, and also creating one massive screen during special events.

Key Features:

  • Up to 16 inputs
  • Control how big each screen is
  • Control where it is situated on the screen
  • Control how many inputs are displayed
  • All controllable using an iPad
  • Integrate both free to air and subscription channels
  • Display in-venue advertising

If you are interested in updating your tired old video wall, DSA are the perfect partners to help.

FINLEASE

Expert Advice and Access to Lenders: Why Businesses Choose Finance Brokers

Did you know that more than half of small businesses use equipment finance brokers for a significant portion of their financing needs? There are several reasons for this trend.

Relationships

First and foremost, brokers can offer the benefits of a long-term relationship, which can be particularly important in a world where bank and account managers frequently change. Business owners appreciate working with someone who understands their business and can represent them to the market without having to repeat their story multiple times.

Service

In addition, brokers offer a service that works around the clock. Because much of the administrative work is done outside of normal business hours, it's essential to be able to speak with a broker or banker when it's convenient for you.

A good broker will also manage the entire project, taking care of everything from arranging invoices and insurance to signing documentation and ultimate settlement.

Spreading debt

Brokers can also help businesses spread their debt over several competitive underwriting financiers, which provides a broader base for expansion and some competition to ensure the best interest rates and commercial conditions.

Brokers deliver a competitive facility, in a pain-free manner, that feels like a breath of fresh air compared to the banks.

Advocacy

Another benefit of working with a broker is advocacy. Many business owners are experts in their specific industries, but may not be as knowledgeable about financing equipment. A broker will ensure that any approval is most closely aligned with the client's needs, not just what the bank wants. A capable broker will have the experience, knowledge, skill, and influence to negotiate the best outcome for the client.


The changing market

It's worth noting that the market for equipment and vehicle financing is changing rapidly. With the increasing popularity of behavioural lending, many underwriters now offer automatic ‘low doc’ competitive finance approvals for selected equipment and vehicle financing up to $150,000 and $500,000 for replacement equipment, gaming machines, kitchen equipment, furniture and fit-outs. Brokers can provide some wonderful alternatives for business owners.

Selecting the right one

However, as with any industry, there are good operators and not-so-good ones. To find the right broker, it's essential to look at what existing clients are saying and ask other business owners who they use and why. The best referral is a happy customer.

You can get in touch with John Cannon to learn more about how a broker can assist your business today and into the future.

Ecoroq filters blend Guerite and Saugin to naturally adsorb and de-sorb moisture, creating optimal conditions. Water molecules pass through crystalline pores, releasing purified particles back into the refrigerated environment, safeguarding freshness with natural efficacy.

Maxi-Enzyme: A New Era of Cleanliness

Meet Maxi-Enzyme Beer Line Cleaner (MEBLC) is the ultimate in safe and effective beer line cleaning solutions. This potent multi-enzymatic cleaner, HACCP Certified and nearly pH neutral, sets the standard for cleanliness and safety.
