Card Testing International
Why Test Cards?
The importance of manufacturing and issuing reliable card products is vital to maintaining a good client relationship. In days past, card quality was overlooked as a minor issue, after all, it was only a low value plastic token that was easily replaced. Today, with increasing card usage and reliance, and the added expense of smart card (chip card) productions, there is no room for complacency. The image and performance of your card is a direct representation of your organisation.The single common binding factor between all of our clients, is the desire to have ISO and/or ANSI Standard compliant cards in their customer's hands. It is a fundamental truth that a non-ISO standard card will not perform for a customer as well as an ISO Standard compliant card. The net effect is often overlooked, however some of the costs associated with a failed card are:
- Total cost of a replacement card
- Staff time spent with customer complaints
- Staff time associated with processing re-issued cards
- Lost retail sale
Loss of reputation and customer loyalty (ie. faulty card = faulty company) - Costs associated with the loss of VIP customers and their corporate group
- Losses associated with finding replacement customers
