September 2017 News & Events, Access Control & Identity Management

Jasco has announced the launch of its new business division – Jasco Distributors. With a focus on the distribution of value-added products to the end-user via resellers, the new line of business will enable Jasco to reach untapped markets. Jasco’s reseller channel has been carefully selected, allowing the company to leverage existing channel customer relationships.

Victor de Abreu, director of the newly formed Jasco Distributors says, “The new line of business will provide resellers with access to Jasco’s product portfolio at strategic pricing. Resellers will also receive the full benefit of discounts and discounted pricing for demo equipment, regular incentives and partner support from both ourselves and our vendors.

“We will start off by offering our Touchless Biometric Systems (TBS) access control solutions, catering specifically to the security vertical. We plan on adding additional Jasco products over the next few months. Our next step will see us incorporating CCTV and surveillance solutions, as well as data analytics and intelligence, with more solutions catering to wider verticals.”

One solution already available to the channel is the Swiss-made, award-winning TBS product suite, which comprises quality access control and security products. Jasco has exclusive distribution rights to the product range which includes two- and three-dimensional, contact-free sensors for enrolment and three-dimensional terminals for the highest security and multi-functionality at point of access. It includes mobile fingerprint scanners, retinal scanners and cameras, as well as a management system which offers complete access and time and attendance (T&A) control. Ancillary services are also offered as part of the range and include cloud hosting: software as a service (SaaS) with BioManager Cloud and cloud reporting.

“All the products in the Jasco offering, including the TBS product suite, are capable of integration with multiple third-party and legacy products and solutions, which will enable longer system lifecycles for our end users,” continues de Abreu. “We find that when customers are looking for access control solutions, they are typically looking to add additional components such as video surveillance and intrusion detection, for example. As such, our portfolio is designed to accommodate this requirement, and enables customers to create their own end-to-end solution that delivers more functionality. Furthermore, Jasco also offers a maintenance solution from the cloud at customers’ and resellers’ requests.”

de Abreu says, “Our aim is to make Jasco Distributors the largest distribution chain in South Africa with our product lines. We will be looking to expand to the rest of Africa and other international markets through our presence in Africa. There are many opportunities waiting to be explored including markets that are demanding quality products backed by reliable local support. We can offer this through our channel, as well as additional value adds such as consulting and assisting with strategy. We believe this model is a successful one, and are looking forward to penetrating new markets with our value reseller partners.”
