Benefits for Financial Institutions
Financial Institutions save money on new item processing systems by using existing check scanner hardware. Transports obtained through company acquisition can be integrated into existing item processing systems. Scanner independence attributes include more rapid market penetration by supporting check scanners in the field, ability to add support for new and improved check scanners without changing software, and increased quality and consistency of captured images and MICR data.

Financial Institutions also gain greater control over system configuration. By using Ranger, you can mix and match different types of item processing software with check scanner hardware.

Benefits for Software Vendors

Benefits for Check Scanner Manufacturers
Ranger saves you money and moves your product. The development of an industry standard, such as Ranger, typically serves as a catalyst for increased hardware sales. Every manufacturer has seen their development units sit on the shelf waiting for potential resellers to port their applications to their proprietary API. You will also see a reduction in the number of development units in the field. Ranger allows your product to plug into over 100 popular software applications. Typically, no development effort is required. Potential resellers can now use the Ranger check scanner simulator to port their applications. Once their application is up and running on Ranger, you can send out a development transport.

Ranger saves you money by allowing you to focus on your strengths. As a check scanner vendor, you are a hardware expert and may view check scanner API software as a necessary evil. Since Ranger provides a powerful application development environment, you no longer need to compete on the basis of check scanner software features.

Ranger gives you the ability to provide professional software tools to your resellers. We offer a rich set of development tools including a developer-oriented web site, ActiveX-based API, programming documentation, check scanner simulator, sample code, utilities, training classes, as well as email and phone support.
