"With our old solution, I had been beaten down by poor service. Mavro's quick response is just so refreshing and their support is simply outstanding."
Joe Hedemann
Senior Supervisor, Customer Service & Image Processing
The Challenge:
To handle the variability, Harlequin’s existing system required time-consuming manual sorting into more than 20 categories. Management needed monitoring capability to spot issues early on and improve overall performance. They also wanted Customer Service to have easy access to transaction images and avoid couriering checks to the bank for deposit.
Our Solution:
The new system includes three OPEX AS7200i scanners coupled with Mavro remittance processing software. Two existing Kodak scanners are used during peak periods. Now with One-Touch Processing and Smart Batching, transactions are handled only once. MavBridge’s Dashboard gives robust real-time monitoring to maintain performance.
Beyond labor cost savings, the streamlined system provides Customer Service better access to document images via the Connect™ Web Portal so they can help people while fielding questions. And Mavro’s electronic deposit capabilities have eliminated transporting physical checks to banks in both the U.S. and Canada.

Connect™ Boosts Customer Service

Increased Funds Availability
