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
As in most business situations, the production
of a near 100% reliable product is financially far more preferable
than having to deal with the ensuing consequences of having
a number of poor performing cards. The cost of preventative
maintenance testing, and an early commitment to quality is
certainly cost justified, considering the savings made further
downstream in the process.
