“We installed Advanced ID Detection scanners in both of our Waltham locations and our Watertown store at the end of 2010. Prior to that, we’d used a free-standing card and then a POS scanner. We weren’t really satisfied with either. The POS could only be used for a few states and we did not get regular updates. Having two colleges fairly close by to two of our stores, we felt we needed a more effective scanner. Advanced ID Detection was it.”
“Where the Advanced ID Detection scanner has come in really handy is at the beginning of the semester in the fall and winters. That’s when we typically get a slew of fake IDs. The power of Advanced ID Detection’s scanner is that once you start scanning and catch some fake IDs, word gets around fast.”
“The city of Waltham is very proactive when it comes to holding liquor stores, bars and restaurants accountable with its Responsible Retailers program. And we thought we were doing a pretty good job watching for fake IDs. When Ted came in to install the scanner, it was a real eye opener at the level of sophistication out there for fake IDs, especially the ones from ID Chief. Advanced ID Detection was completely worth the investment.”
“When it comes to peace of mind, on a scale of one to 10, I’d have to say it’s a 10 since getting the Advanced ID Detection scanner. With three locations, we take on quite a bit of risk with every person we serve. The scanner gives us quite a bit more confidence that we’re only accepting legitimate IDs.”
