San Mateo Credit Union

Tweet   LIGHTNING RELEASES (4/15/2014) – Better Branches Technology, a provider of branch visitor queuing and workforce management software for financial institutions, announced that San Mateo Credit Union has adopted their industry leading Better Lobby/Teller and Staff Scheduler & Optimizer modules. These powerful Better Lobby modules will help the $713M+ asset Silicon Valley-based credit union improve member service quality, optimize branch performance, streamline staff scheduling and control expenses. Better Lobby/Teller takes a unique approach to managing branch visitors – it measures each and every visit in real time, not just transactions like other teller management systems. According to Peter Kneisler, Vice President of Information systems at the credit union, “as we looked for creative ways to improve our branch operations for our members in San Mateo County, the City of Palo Alto and parts of San Francisco, we realized that we needed better staff utilization metrics. After researching the various ways that we could accomplish this goal and efficiently evolve our branches to better meet the needs of our members, we concluded that Better Branches Technologies had the tools that fit us best.” Rick Poulton, President of Better Branches, states that “San Mateo Credit Union has experience creating applications internally and had a very clear idea of what they wanted from our Solution. We consider it a “vote of confidence” they selected Better Lobby to help manage them with Teller Management.” The Staff Scheduler & Optimizer module will help SMCU’s managers to balance their full time and part tellers, as well as their employees who function as both tellers and member service reps, which will result in significant efficiencies for the credit union. Poulton adds that “our software dramatically improves management control of branch staffing and is a perfect fit for San Mateo Credit Union as they continue to fine-tune and improve their branch operations.” About San Mateo Credit Union Founded in 1952, San Mateo Credit Union has grown over the years to keep pace with the evolving financial needs of their member-owners.
