Burlington, Mass., October 19th, 2009 – CTS North America, a leading supplier of cash and check solutions for merchant, teller, branch, self-service systems and retail point-of-sales counters today announced that Silver Bullet Technology, Inc’s Ranger® Transport API product is now available for CTS North America’s LS series check scanners.
Silver Bullet Technology is an industry leader and their Ranger product, the universal check scanner API, is one of a kind. Ranger gives its users the flexibility to run item processing applications unchanged on a wide variety of check scanners. As new scanners become available, Ranger’s flexibility allows for a seamless transition of scanners into the market.
By using the LS Series scanners from CTS North America with the Ranger interface, systems integrators can now take advantage of the industry’s most versatile suite of scanners – for branch and remote capture applications – without changes to their existing software applications. Common CTS developed and Silver Bullet certified plug-ins are now available for the LS-series of desktop scanners. “Resources and budget limitations for scanner integration and support have become a major problem for payment solution providers. The new common plug-in eliminates most application development and makes the certification far easier,” said Urs Bockli, EVP and General Manager, CTS North America.
Ranger works with CTS’ LS Series scanners includingLS100 – designed for efficient teller and remote deposit capture – fitting any space from a small desk or bank teller station to a small business or merchant environment. LS150 – offering 75 or 150 dpm scanning for retail and commercial tellers and back-office check automation – the fastest scanner in its class, with the lowest footprint and noiseLS515 – high-speed workhorse for bulk check and document processing- efficient for back office check processing, scalable for high-volume teller stations, and robust for lockbox applications
Ranger offers financial institutions control over their system configuration. By utilizing the Ranger application, providers can implement an effortless mix and match between their software and CTS’ innovative check scanner hardware.
“A significant benefit of adopting the Ranger Plug-In program is the capability to determine the release time-frame for any native API changes, and also for any upgrade or bug-fix releases,” said Jamille Ellingson, national account executive for Silver Bullet Technology. “That CTS is an early adopter of the Ranger Plug-In program will assure their customers and clients a higher level on continuity and support. We are glad to have them on board.”
