Chicago City
As many of you know, the vendor ELS will also be providing the valuable city sticker service to your stores. Because of this change, the 2008 DCS OTC program will upload to the vendor of your choice- either ELS or Garda. The DCS OTC program is being provided *free of charge- nearly a $600 savings!
Sticker uploads through Internet
The city has also made it a requirement for sales of stickers to be accomplished electronically. The DCS OTC module being integrated with both vendors satisfies this requirement. Now your city stickers will be uploaded directly through your internet connection
Coinstar Pins - System check for receipt printer
Previously, tellers were able to complete a "prepaid product" transaction without having the receipt printer turned on. This created a problem for the stores since they were not able to provide customers with the PIN number that was generated for them. The new upgrade will perform a mandatory check before each prepaid pin transaction to be sure the receipt printer is active. If the receipt printer is either off or disabled, the system will prevent the transaction from being completed and return the following message back to the teller
Auto import of Money order lookup file from main office
Every night, a money order
lookup file is generated at each main office running MOCS and sent to each
store with the current status of issued money orders. That lookup file is
imported into the store as soon as the teller attempts to lookup a money order
for the first time each day. The import process lasted a couple minutes long.
The lookup file import process has now been automated. The Money order lookup
files are imported automatically into each store as soon as they are received
from the main office. This allows the tellers initial request to be instant,
while streamlining the entire process.
