WAUSAU Financial Systems Adds Web-Enabled Cashiering Capabilities to Receivables Solution
Partnership with CORE Business Technologies gives new options for in-person electronic, paper and cash payments
MOSINEE, Wis., May 3 -- Though customers' adoption of electronic bill payments is growing, in-cash and in-person payments are not going away. Today, WAUSAU Financial Systems announced its ReceivableWorks(TM) solution is now able to accept additional forms of payment through its cashiering partnership with CORE Business Technologies.
ReceivableWorks(TM), built on WAUSAU's market-leading retail and wholesale remittance platform, enables companies to aggregate, automate and accelerate receivables across all channels. Now, WAUSAU can accept walk-up/walk-in cashiering payments through its alliance with CORE, which offers a cashiering solution that takes cash, check and debit or credit card payments through its iPayment Revenue Portal.
According to the 2009 F.D.I.C. National Survey of Unbanked and Underbanked Households, more than a quarter of all households either don't have a checking or savings account. In light of this fact, WAUSAU's ReceivableWorks(TM) hub manages the comprehensive payment demands of today's consumers and with CORE's iPayment Revenue Portal extends its solution for walk-up/walk-in payments to companies in the utilities, insurance and health care markets, as well as government agencies and any organization that desires a local presence for its customers.
"Many organizations in these sectors haven't upgraded their payment processing systems for decades and are in desperate need of improvements," said Kathy Strasser, executive vice president, Solution Management for WAUSAU Financial Systems. "There are still customers who prefer to pay in person and in cash - and this combined solution is about giving consumers options. Through our partnership with CORE, utility companies, for instance, can take walk-in transactions and accept multiple payments options onsite, immediately syncing with the company's receivables system from WAUSAU as well as back-end systems."
WAUSAU's ReceivableWorks(TM) best-in-class hub combines with CORE's cashiering technology (the iPayment Revenue Portal) to provide a complete solution across all payment channels.
Key features of the cashiering technology include:
-- Complete web-based payment capture, posting and auditing capabilities,
with fast and flexible payment entry for any kind of transaction
-- Simplified daily account balancing, with timely, detailed management
reports to guide decision-making
-- Comprehensive security for all functions, as well as PCI-DSS level
security for hosted deployments
"CORE and WAUSAU are natural partners," said Jeffrey Saucier, general manager, Products and Business Development for CORE Business Technologies. "CORE supplies a key input channel into WAUSAU's receivables hub, providing a full payment spectrum. And from a technical perspective, the similarities with our .NET framework have made for a seamless integration. Business rules in the WAUSAU receivables hub integrate seamlessly with our cashiering system."
WAUSAU will be unveiling the solution at FUSION 2010 May 9 through 13 in Grapevine, TX, where the company has four speaking roles on topics ranging from payments processing benchmarks and trends in health care payments.
