There is no more need to rent cash tills and credit card terminals separately when you can get an all in one integrated solution. The integrated point of sale and credit card acquiring solution prevents user error, saves hours on cash up time and delivers detailed reporting. The Allxs cashless payment system accepts all NFC tap cards right at the stand. Customers who do not have tap enabled cards or only carry cash can load an event card at the top up station.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Who is the Allxs cashless payments and event management system built for?
The system was developed for schools, events, clubs and hospitality. Allxs is an integrated payment platform which consist of a point of sale with closed loop payments, credit card payments, member account management, inventory control, remote printing, vouchers, discounts and a digital rewards currency.
What is the difference between the Allxs point of sale and a regular point of sale.
The Allxs point of sale tracks itemised sales for every order with an integrated credit card facility. This means that the order is processed on the point of sale by selecting the correct products and when credit card is selected as the payment method, the transaction is automatically referred to the pin pad with no room for error as the amount does not need to be entered manually.
How is the Allxs credit card processing system different to any other credit card terminal.
Credit card terminals only record amounts that are processed and do not provide any detailed sales data. Mobile credit card terminals are not integrated into any cash register system and are not capable of automatically reconciling the sales.
Do my customers have to load their money onto a separate card to make my event cashless.
No, your customers can use their own NFC enabled bank cards or load an events card to use at your event.
What is NFC?
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology that allows the exchange of communication between 2 devices by placing them next to each other. All new bank cards are NFC enabled to allow for faster payments during the check out process.
New Features for Allxs Cashless Payments in 2019
A sincere welcome back to all our schools, parents and clients. We are very excited about our roadmap for the year ahead and the new services that we will be rolling out. 2018 was a fantastic year with many new features added to the Allxs Smart School ID Cashless Payments Platform. These included recipe level inventory management, digital warehouse management, host to host banking integrations, web based print management, self-service kiosk and a mobile, table service solution. The Allxs Cashless Payments system not only makes your campus cashless everyday but will also cater to all your event requirements improving speed, safety and convenience.
Here are some of the new features that you can look forward to in 2019.
WhatsApp support has been implemented to help parents and clients with a faster and more convenient support channel. Please add 066 472 8657 to your contacts as Allxs Support.

Credit Card acquiring is now directly integrated into your Cashless POS to better accommodate parents and visitors that do not have an Allxs Smart school ID. This feature prevents credit card errors and helps to reconcile exactly which transactions were paid by credit card, automating your reconciliation process.
AXS Coin Rewards will be rolled out during the course of the first term. This digital rewards currency aims to help drive positive behavior across all the spectrum of school life. This includes rewarding healthy food choices at the tuck shop, achievements in academics, sports and culture as well as any other behaviours the community would like to reward. AXS Coins can be purchased by parents, schools and any other members of the community and can be used to reward anyone within the school community. This digital currency will be redeemable at the tuck shop for treats as well as value added services such as airtime and data right from the Allxs point of sale. Schools have the option to add their own rewards partners inside their own community as well as benefit from our growing list of partners. Movies, events and a few more surprises will be added throughout the year. In addition to driving positive behavior at schools, parents can use the system to drive positive behavior at home and reward their kids in a safe and meaningful way with a controlled set of redemption partners. Schools can also use the system to reward those parents who tirelessly support the school with their precious time.
REWARD YOUR STUDENTS WITH AXS COIN REWARDS PROGRAM FOR SCHOOLS
A rewards program with a difference. AXS Coin rewards for schools are fully integrated into the smart school ID and all of its features and controls. Motivate education through rewards. AXS Coins can be used at the school or with our partners. Use AXS Coins to purchase treats at the tuck shop, air time, movie and concert tickets, books and data. With a well-designed loyalty and reward program, academic performance & attendance are improved, extra-curricular activities are encouraged, student/teacher relations are improved, financial literacy is enhanced & community cohesion is revitalized.
Students Can Be Rewarded with AXS Coins for Good Practice, Grades and Attendance.
One of the most important aspects of teaching is motivation. It is also one of the most difficult. Giving students a sense of ownership allows them to feel accomplished and encourages active participation in class and their school. Reward children for being involved in athletics and extramural activities. Encourage your students to start clubs and choose healthier options at the tuck shop. Rewards give students a sense of accomplishment and encourage them to work with a goal in mind.
Motivate students to learn under a rewards-based system. Students tend to show higher interest and increased participation in everyday classroom duties and responsibilities with tangible rewards and reinforcement at frequent intervals. Rewards programs can also be used to encourage long-term effort and accountability.
Teachers Are Special, And They Deserve Special Attention.
Reward teachers and parents with AXS COINS in order to bring the village together and build a stronger educational ecosystem. Entice participation by rewarding parents for actively participating in their child’s school life. Teachers can be rewarded for participating in extra training and class performance.
Get Parents More Involved
Parents and students can pool their rewards together and send teachers on a holiday or day at a spa to thank them for their hard work. Parents can help with school trips, drama productions or with one-off events at the school.
Parents can earn AXS Coins for volunteering their services at the school. Classroom helpers volunteer to assist teachers on a regular basis. They help with tasks like listening to pupils read. Reading practice is very labor-intensive, and helpers can make a big difference to teachers and children. Parents can help teachers prepare for the day as well as hand out worksheets, freeing up the teacher’s valuable time.
Classroom helpers make a big difference. Research shows that having a parent who volunteers improves a child’s experience of school. And the parent gets to experience behind the scenes at school.

Allxs Media chosen for the fourth Grindstone Accelerator cohort of top scale-up ventures
South African venture capital firm Knife Capital announced the top twelve companies participating in its fourth Grindstone Accelerator programme. Grindstone engineers growth for South African innovation-driven entrepreneurs by shaping their companies to become more investable, sustainable and exit-ready.
Some of South Africa’s best scale-up companies have been through Grindstone with measurable results. These include ticketing solutions provider Quicket, financial inclusion business Picsa; augmented reality animation & gaming company SeaMonster; payments software provider Electrum, transport data company WhereIsMyTransport, Bitcoin blockchain anti-piracy solution Custos and radar startup iKubu (acquired by Garmin).
Over the last three intakes, the interventions of the year-long program resulted in the participating companies experiencing an average of 56% year-on-year increase in revenue while mastering business fundamentals. Andrea Bohmert, Knife Capital Investment Partner explains: “Grindstone is about measurable growth, about building a foundation that can handle both challenges and opportunities. It is about being prepared, as interesting things happen to companies that are ready and able to act on short notice.”
In this cohort, Knife Capital is taking twelve businesses through an intensive review of their strategies to provide them with the insights and tools to build a foundation for growth. “We initially set out to find ten SMEs to partner with, but the exciting and diverse range of the opportunities presented, combined with corporate partnerships reached, enabled us to open the program up a bit wider,” says Bӧhmert. “Each one of these companies is at a tipping point, with many strategic options to pursue. During Grindstone the entrepreneurs are given the opportunity to validate their growth assumptions and check these against the company’s ability to execute.”
Grindstone collaborates with other top incubation and acceleration programmes in the market to augment the learning experience and continue the growth journey. The programme draws on various speakers, mentors and corporates as value-adding partners to assist in supporting these high-growth SMEs. “We were overwhelmed by the interest and deep interventions from leading South African corporates,” says Bohmert. This year Grindstone is partnering with entrepreneurial-minded organisations that include: FNB, Webber Wentzel, Creative CFO, Thinkroom Consulting, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft 4Afrika, M&C Saatchi Connect, GMG Technology, Matchboxology and Billybo Group to link into and bolster market access opportunities.
Knife Capital is also currently in partnership discussions to launch a Johannesburg-based Grindstone Programme in 2019.
