For issuers looking for card production software that fully integrates with card management, SmartVista’s SmartPro provides an end-to-end credit card production solution for magnetic and smart card personalization. A sophisticated credit card personalization engine delivers all the necessary functionality for embossing, mag-stripe encoding, chip personalization, with support for PIN mailer printing and distribution. SmartPro also includes the complete key management processes required for card personalization and provides a direct interface to a range of widely-used card personalization and security equipment from a variety of vendors including DataCard, SafeNet, Thales, as well as chip manufacturers.
SmartPro supports both in-house personalization and PIN mailing production either centrally or through a branch network or to third-party bureaus. Personalization data can be transmitted either in real time or batch and two options are provided for data capture—either through screen input or from external systems.
Using SmartPro card production software eliminates multiple data entry points, streamlining the card personalization and application process. Standardized templates avoid repetitious data entry, reducing both error and operational costs through business process automation.
SmartPro automatically processes input data from external card management systems. Data then feeds into the card production system, which manufactures cards with no manual intervention required.
SmartPro is easy to configure and maintain and accepts both embossing and encoding formats. Users set up personalization profiles that include specific settings and rules for different cards or customer groups. Within each profile, users can set up different parameters for each card—for example, different physical parameters, such as the positioning of the customer’s photograph or the location of the expiry date.
SmartPro supports both in-house and distributed personalization options. The solution also includes a tool that verifies card personalization information for improved accuracy and confirms the data source from card management systems.
SmartPro supports a full range of card products or combinations of card features on one card, including any combination of magnetic stripe, contact chip, or contactless chip cards.
