Systopia, Europe’s leading provider of cashless payment solutions, has announced the launch of their revolutionary new chip technology, immediately available for integration into healthcare institutions, and set to revolutionise the payment systems of healthcare catering areas.
Wristbands for payments by patients and staff
For the first time, Systopia’s near-field communications (NFC) chip technology can now be implemented into hospital wristbands for patients and staff alike to benefit from.
The wristbands will allow users to pay for food and drink in the dining areas, from vending machines and the kitchen trolley with just a tap of the band, removing the need for users to carry cash.
This will not only bring greater security to partnering healthcare sites across the UK, it will also greatly reduce time spent counting money or scrambling through bags for change in a place where time can be of the essence.
Chris Lyons, Managing Director of Systopia, said:
“Our system promotes security, convenience and greater customer service, and it is with great pleasure we can bring these benefits to an industry that caters for the well-being of our community.
“When we were developing the technology, we received positive feedback from a select few healthcare institutions we engaged with during the research stage. Many recognised the improvements to customer service and management the system would help bring. We are looking forward to working with the sector to help improve their food and beverage operations.”
Benefits for the healthcare industry
The Systopia technology offers a range of benefits that the healthcare industry can enjoy.
The system offers analytical tools that allow organisations to monitor their food sales, encouraging more informed decisions on menu choices that can follow significant eating trends and crucial dietary needs.
Systopia’s reporting systems also assist operators with identifying peak and quieter times of business, which will greatly help in reducing overheads and ensuring staff hours and opening times reflect their business trends.
Benefits demonstrated in the leisure sector
Earlier this year, the benefits of Systopia’s wristband payment was seen in the leisure sector, following a successful partnership agreement with UK Short Break Operator Center Parcs. The ease of paying through a simple tap of their wristband, inspired numerous positive comments from guests following their holiday experience.
