Client Success Stories for Colleges and Universities
Here are the most recent success stories. You can also see the complete list.
Villanova University
Villanova’s Wildcard office is known in the campus card industry for its commitment to enhancing card-based student services. Rather than focusing solely on traditional card office responsibilities, Villanova has expanded the Wildcard into new services like online laundry management, sports lottery solutions, and more. Read on to learn how the university uses CS Gold's online suite of services to reach out to students in new ways.
SUNY Fredonia
Shortly after implementing Odyssey PCS, SUNY Fredonia made the switch to CBORD’s IP-based online vending. The new program allows students to use their existing FREDCard debit accounts for food & beverage vending purchases, eliminating the need for dedicated vending funds. As a result of this switch, SUNY Fredonia saw gross vending sales increase by 849% in less than a year.
Plymouth State University
Plymouth State University has used the Odyssey PCS campus card system since 2000. When it came time to update its card-based vending operations, the university made the switch to online vending and saw vending sales increase by 93% in just one semester. Read on to learn how Plymouth State managed the project to ensure success.
Purdue University
Purdue University Residences Dining Services serves 18–20,000 meals each day. In an effort to better educate its students on the nutritional value of the foods they eat, the university purchased NetNutrition from CBORD. Students can now easily build meals online to view nutritional information, regardless of dining location.
