Who are SCL?

SCL are the world’s leading independent prepaid point of sale systems provider.

They entered the prepaid industry in 2003 through a successful gift card project with

Westfield U.S and now have a number of multi-national clients across a range of

sectors including travel, retail and banking.

What is UltraPoS?

UltraPoS is a Software as a Service (S.a.a.S) based system which manages the

inventory and sale of prepaid cards. However, other financial and non-financial

products such as premium packaging for gift cards, contactless mobile phone

accessories and other sundry items can also be sold using the same software.

Why do I need it?

Currently in use in over 6000 outlets worldwide, UltraPoS is a cost effective, time

saving tool which provides a centralised, real-time view over an entire prepaid

operation from one central place. The information collected by UltraPoS enables

accurate sales and trend analysis, optimised distribution and efficient staff

management.

What do I need to run UltraPoS? An internet-connected PC, receipt printer and optionally a USB magnetic card

stripe reader are all that is needed to run UltraPoS from a customer services desk.

SCL host the service which can be integrated seamlessly with a client’s internal

financial systems, such as reconciliation and general ledger, as well as third party

systems for example, external settlement and processing platforms. The UltraPoS

user interface is intuitive & only needs familiarity with Windows and Internet Explorer,

minimising training requirements.

UltraPoS in the Prepaid Life Cycle

Processor sends card data to the manufacturer

Manufacturer sends an electronic stock file to UltraPoS

Manufacturer sends the physical stock to the seller

Seller uses UltraPoS to issue a card to the customer, payment is taken, stock is removed

from the inventory and charges and exchange rates are calculated.

UltraPoS sends a message to the processor to fund and activate the card. Message sent

back to UltraPoS confirming authorisation. Receipt generated.

The money from the customer goes in to a holding account

Customer uses the card to purchase an item. A message is sent to the processor to

process the payment. The money leaves the holding account and is passed to the

retailer
