The Operational Challenge
Impacting Your Bottom Line
Power verification remains one of the most time-consuming aspects of ATM and branch incident response.
When ATMs or branches experience outages, operations teams face a complex diagnostic process. Without immediate visibility into power status, actions that should take minutes can stretch into hours and require costly dispatches, hurting both customer service and operational efficiency.
For example, when ATM communication failures occur, NOC teams first attempt remote reboots. If that fails and the ATM isn’t connected to a branch a field dispatch is required, often taking four hours or more to arrive. Many times, the power is out resulting in a non-productive dispatch.
The Current Process: Resource-Intensive and Unreliable
When outages occur, common Bank operations team follows a manual workflow:
- ATM Communications Errors: First-line agents escalate to leads who contact security teams, property center managers, or dispatch field technicians
- Branch After-Hours Outages: Teams wait until morning for on-site verification or coordinate emergency dispatches with 9-11 emergency services to check the site for power
- Branch Business Hours: Multiple phone calls to branch personnel, often requiring many calls over 1-2 hours for power confirmation
- Complex Locations: Malls and complexes can require 15+ hours for property management response and troubleshoot the site (checking for power as the first step)
Average time per incident: 2-4 hours.
The Operational Impact
- Extended Mean-Time-to-Repair: Delays of 1–4 hours occur when power status cannot be confirmed immediately.
- Inefficient Resource Allocation: Multiple tickets are sent to teams like Operations, Security, and Network, often escalating to leads to handle complex communication errors, causing bottlenecks.
- Unnecessary Field Dispatches: Each dispatch costs $250–$300 when technicians arrive at locations without power.
- Revenue Impact: Extended ATM downtime reduces transaction volume and harms customer satisfaction.
- Customer Service Degradation: Prolonged outages damage brand reputation and customer loyalty.
