Driving sales through value

In South Africa and other African regions, neaMetrics as distributor of Suprema since 2006, has a different view of distribution. We understand and define value added distribution. With an African network of over 100 distribution and integration partners, specialising in various sectors, we aim to deliver on specific integrator and end-user needs.

We chose Suprema because of the quality of products and their willingness and flexibility to work together to address African demands. With over 20 years’ experience in biometric system implementations in Africa, we can effectively plan and implement such systems.

neaMetrics locally develops hardware and software solutions to complement the Suprema product range and we work closely with custom software solution developers to assist them to deliver on the needs of end-users. Although designed to last in Africa, some locally developed products are exported internationally through Suprema’s global distribution network to address specific needs.

What do we offer our local partners?

* A well established and known brand which is proven in Africa.

* Free training and excellent support.

* Local repair service.

* Local complementary hardware development.

* Product development and integration support through a local development team with extensive experience in biometric and ID integration.

* Specialised system integration.

* A no-compete distribution policy which promotes close collaboration with partners.

Our strength is determined by the strength of our partners, the ability to deliver seamlessly integrated solutions that add value, the flexibility to respond to market needs and our ongoing drive to increase our partner base. Join us today.

The difference

What differentiates the Suprema brand is the quality and value for money of its extensive range of products that address most biometric and identity solution needs under one roof.

With its Access Control and T&A portfolio, Suprema was one of the first to offer a fully-fledged IP-based system, eliminating the need for external controllers, while still supporting it through widely used Wiegand and RS-485 protocols. Its range currently consists of 11 terminals that satisfy needs for various card types (Proximity, Mifare, HID) as well as fingerprint or facial recognition. It is one of the few biometric manufacturers that also offer card only terminals, enabling easy hybrid implementations, all managed with the same interface. It further offers the off-the-shelf BioStar access control and T&A software package free of charge for minimum requirement implementations, and the paid for Standard edition for medium to enterprise size implementations. For custom solution providers, the BioStar SDK is provided, which gives access to all device functionality across the full range.

Should the range of terminals not offer what is needed, Suprema’s SFM OEM modules allow engineers to develop their own access control, T&A, POS, kiosk or other specialised terminals using Suprema’s award winning fingerprint hardware and algorithms.

For specialised civil and criminal identity solutions, it offers a range of fingerprint livescan and passport reading devices. This identity solution range satisfies all FBI and ICAO compliance and certification requirements.
