Cashless In Schools

Haven Systems new CIS eliminates the need for pupils to handle cash in primary schools. Designed specifically for the primary school environment, our Cashless In Schools solution allows schools to automate the meal selection process and eliminate cash handling at school level.

How does this work?

Each teacher runs our browser application which cross references each pupil with their default meal selection. This is run each Monday and selection is made for the week on a per class basis by each class teacher (daily adjustments can be made as necessary as the week progresses). The process takes just minutes from start to finish.

The kitchen receives a daily print out of meals required, this is an automated process and prints at a predefined time, typically 9.45am allowing time for the teachers to make amendments for absent pupils, or a change in meal selection and adequate time for the kitchen staff to prepare.

Each pupil has an account within the system and each meal is debited from this account. The account can be credited by cash, internet payments, or telephone payments. Typically Councils encourage account crediting via phone or internet, facilitating cash payments at a centralised county location, we would interface with your existing Council payments portals negating the need to increase costs further. At this point cash handling at school level can be eliminated.

The Benefits

· Eliminating cash handling at primary school level.

· Removes any stigma attached to free school meals.

· Allows accurate monitoring of pupils accounts.

· Solutions available for secondary schools, allowing the pupil’s account to follow as they progress to secondary school

Ocius Sentinel

Haven Systmes provide secure Chip & PIN using the latest Ocius Sentinel solution.

What is Ocius Sentinel?

Ocius Sentinel is part of an outsourced managed service provided by Commidea a PCI Level 1 certified payment provider. Ocius Sentinel is a software application that resides on a PIN Pad within a PCI PTS/APACS Common Criteria secure environment providing dual-layer data encryption from the point of card data capture.

Sensitive cardholder data is encrypted by the PIN pad using 128 bit 3DES encryption, utiliszing a unique dynamic key system generated using merchant and transaction specific data elements. This data is then further encrypted using a 2048-bit RSA algorithm key, before being sent to the Point of Sale.

As card data remains fully encrypted throughout the process, and the merchant has no ability to decrypt the data, cardholder information is effectively removed from the merchant's system, significantly reducing the scope and cost of achieving and maintaining the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. Cardholder data is only decrypted inside the secure environment of Commmidea's ICP Managed Service prior to transmission to teh acquiring bank.

Ocius Sentinel is the final piece of the jigsaw to provide end to end encryption of cardholder data.

Ocius Sentinel goes beyond compliance, providing a range of additional features , addressing issues such as PED Asset Management, including PED serial number tracking and swap out/power on-off alerts to help thwart physical attacks on PED assets.
