UK’S NATIONWIDE SELECTS
CARREKER CORPORATION’S iCom
SOLUTION FOR CASH MANAGEMENT
DALLAS (May 28, 2002) — Carreker
Corporation (NASDAQ: CANI), a leading
provider of technology and consulting
solutions for the financial industry,
today announced that Nationwide Building
Society will implement Carreker’s
Internet-enabled cash inventory management
solution, Integrated Cash Operations
Modules™, or “iCom” for
its 681 branches and 2000 ATMs. Nationwide
is the United Kingdom's fifth largest
mortgage lender and ninth largest
retail banking, saving and lending
organization by asset size. More
significantly, Nationwide, which
is owned by its members, is the largest
building society in the world.
iCom uses demand-based inventory
management techniques to identify
a daily cash activity profile for
each cash point or site. Then the
technology determines the optimal
inventory, order, and shipment amounts
for individual branches, ATMs, transportation
providers and the vault. It interprets
and imitates historical data to define
customer behavior and adjusts for
variables to forecast future customer
demand, and it provides multiple
levels of customized alerts to prevent
cash outage situations.
Said Steve Carpenter, Manager, Cash
Services of Nationwide, “As
a member-owned organization, we have
a strong obligation to not only operate
as efficiently as possible, but provide
the highest quality service to our
members. With iCom’s Internet-enabled
cash management capabilities, we
can ensure our members have access
to the cash they need at our branches
and through our ATM network, while
we are able to manage our costs more
effectively.”
Brian Evetts, Vice President and
Managing Director of Carreker’s
Cash Solutions, explained, “We
designed iCom to help clients manage
their entire cash supply chain across
the enterprise at any time over the
Web, bringing down related costs
by 20-40% in the first year of implementation.”
Said J. D. “Denny” Carreker,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of Carreker Corporation, “iCom
is another example of our Internet-enabled
solutions that help clients serve
their customers better and more cost
effectively. We are particularly
excited that an organization like
Nationwide, well known for their
cost-management leadership, has chosen
our solution.”
Nationwide, with headquarters in
Swindon and a second major administrative
centre at Northampton, offers a broad
range of retail financial services,
including mortgages, savings, current
accounts, life assurance and investment
products, personal loans and household
insurance.
