Smart Solutions Bring Your Financial Data Together!
An access management, point of sale, or self-service solution from Comprise is an investment in a flexible, expandable Smart web-based architecture. All Comprise' solutions can be leveraged from a single SmartServer linked with your library's ILS or organizations database. All Comprise solutions communicate with leading ILS databases, Microsoft SQL, and integrate seamlessly with each other offering unparalleled flexibility.
Comprise is dedicated to bringing you the information you need when you need it.Our real-time reports pay for themselves almost immediately, whether you need information for funding or you’re in the process of being audited. All of our solutions integrate with your ILS and each other so that information is timely and accurate.
Our flagship product, SAM(Smart Access Manager), is the only fully integrated single source solution for session, Internet, and print management in public environments. SAM is used in more than 3,000 libraries to control over 25,000 computers and manage in excess of 4 million patron accounts. SAM is the culmination of an ongoing dialog with those libraries; many of its features reflect their search for a tool that frees staff to monitor access to information, not computers.
SAM is available in two versions, each configured to meet the needs of specific customers:
Smart Money Manager is our point-of-sale solution specifically designed for the library environment. Unlike traditional cash registers that only allow you to accept money and make change, Smart Money Manager recognizes patrons by linking with your ILS, automates cash drawer reconciliation, and creates audit-quality reports.
Library Payment Centers enable anyone to make self-service payments and purchases without any staff involvement. They fully automate the handling of bills, coins, and bankcards, and return change for unspent funds. Use them to let patrons or visitors pay for print, copy, or other charges.
SmartPay allow patrons to make fine/fee payments and anyone to make donations to your library over the Internet.It’s easy to use, convenient, and runs from your website.
