- Provides complete transaction visibility, reports and analyses including—
- transaction information
- audit and security information
- fraud detection information
- market segmentation information
Premier information system for making, capturing and viewing remote transactional data across local or global networks
ESE Global Dashboard Software gives organizations unprecedented visibility of data from remote devices in the field. With a click on a UI display of an organization’s operational territory, GIS-based ESE Global Dashboard Software can zero in on all the devices in any region, drilling down into any single device, all the transactions that have taken place on it, by what operator, in what time — going from the macro level to a granular level in real time and storing the data for later analysis.
ESE Global Dashboard Software is the premier information system for capturing manufacturing and transactional data across local or global networks.
- Enables multi-national, multi-regional data aggregation from any or all remote devices in an organization’s network

Powerful, flexible, central administration and control tool for unlimited remote handheld devices
The ESE Management Console is an administration and control tool providing control of any number of remote handheld devices from a central location via a Web browser. Using the ESE Management Console, an organization can closely manage third-party agents and business correspondents thousands of miles away, turning third-party devices on or off as necessary and immediately detecting fraudulent activity. Remote code configuration on all devices — without having to touch them — provides unprecedented security, interoperability and flexibility — and offers significant cost savings as well.
- Easy-to-use console manages large deployments of individual handsets
- Manage applications, versioning, permissioning, passwords
- Track deployed handset types, ancillary equipment usage
Configuration tool for fast, on-the-fly, bug-free, non-programmatic customization of remote software
The ESE Mobile Designer allows customization of an organization’s entire ESE product suite to meet the dynamic and changing requirements of a vertical or a region, as well as the practices of the business itself. A bank can use the Mobile Designer to introduce new products or services. With the ESE Mobile Designer, customizations take days or hours rather than weeks or months. For instance, if a bank partners with an insurance company and begins to offer insurance, the institution will have to modify its deployed handset software to allow insurance transactions. With the Mobile designer, however, the changes are quickly and easily configured by the organization — rather than programmed.
This non-programmatic configuration feature dramatically cuts costs and time to market, and keeps the system safe from bugs — because the Mobile Designer does not touch any program code.
The Mobile Designer also keeps up with an organization’s requirements so that the ESE evolves with the business — and helps the business evolve with the market.
