DigitalPersona Inc., a provider of fingerprint identity and authentication solutions, has announced that point-of-sale software provider WAND Corp. has integrated DigitalPersona technology into their NextGen POS and Classic POS solutions. WAND's customers can now use fingerprint biometrics to boost cashier accountability and deter unauthorized manager overrides. As a result, restaurants can reduce fraud and save money.
Wendy's franchisee FourCrown Inc. has successfully implemented the biometrics solution and is pleased with the results. "Biometrics has helped decrease the instances of cash discrepancies at the point of sale," said John McDaniels, district manager of FourCrown. "It has provided us with a level of security that was not present with manager swipe cards."
WAND is using U.are.U fingerprint readers from DigitalPersona to increase the security of cashier sign-on, order processing and manager overrides and eliminate the reliance on swipe cards and passwords, which are easily lost, stolen or shared. With biometrics, WAND's customers can tie people to specific transactions, enhancing employee accountability and reducing time and attendance fraud as well as till theft.
WAND selected U.are.U fingerprint readers because they offer a powerful combination of size, accuracy and performance. With a complete range of software tools, integration with U.are.U readers was fast and straightforward.
