Long serving staff, loyal customers and a reputation for quality is what sets competent companies apart - and Advanced Transaction Systems is no exception. The company supplies and services coin and note counting equipment from its main office in Auckland, building a solid customer base during the past two decades.

Advanced Transaction Systems (ATS) employs more than 20 full time staff, many of whom are long serving team members with 15 years’ experience or more. The ATS team is supplemented with 15 nationwide contractors located from Kaitia to Invercargill and 20 agents throughout the Pacific Islands and Australia.
This year marks 20 years in business for the company, originally named Sprintquip, which has experienced significant growth over the years.
For example, in 2000 ATS become a major supplier to the cash in transit industry with a range of high volume coin sorters and coin wrapping solutions. In 2009 ATS entered the banking self service industry, supplying and servicing cash and cheque deposit equipment and change dispensers to the major banks.
More recently ATS merged with Ecom Corporation Banking Solutions. A company servicing both the New Zealand and Australian markets, this merger meant ATS could add ATMs, digital signage, kiosk technologies and software integration to its product line up.
To better reflect its expanded business and product range the company changed its name to Advanced Transaction Systems Limited from Sprintquip.
Today ATS is New Zealand’s leading provider of cash processing and self service equipment with more than 14,000 installed units. It is the partner of choice to major banks, retail and entertainment industries for the supply and support of a multitude of cash processing systems, financial self service solutions. This includes transaction and information terminals, including customised software development and integration.

One of New Zealand’s major cash in transit companies, ADT/Armourguard, recently undertook a programme to improve the efficiency, reliability and to reduce the cost of its cash processing systems. It chose ATS as its partner.
Besides providing new high volume coin counters and sorters and specialised coin wrapping machines, ATS also needed to modify the new equipment to connect to the existing conveyor and coin transport systems, as well as provide the software interface to connect the equipment to the ATD/Armourguard IT network.
ATS completed this complex task within budget, on time and with no disruption to the ADT/Armourguard business.
Far from resting on its laurels, ATS has ambitious future plans. CEO Barry Dow
says the company will be expanding
further offshore.
“In the future, ATS is focused on leveraging our installed base of 14,000 devices throughout New Zealand, Australia and Oceania. This will expand our international footprint to better service our New Zealand based clients’ international needs.”
