Questions & Answers

Total: 8

Question	Date Asked	Answer	Date Answered
1. Student and employee ID integration • Could you clarify what systems currently support student and employee ID functionality? • Is this requirement limited to identity lookup/verification, or does it also include account-based charging, financial aid usage, departmental purchases, stored value, or othertender-related workflows? • Does the future solution need to read a physical campus ID card directly? If so, what card technologies are currently in use? 2. Banner integration scope • What specific Banner workflows are expected to integrate with the POS environment? • Are you primarily expecting synchronization for customer/account data, item/catalog data, financial postings, student financial aid transactions, or broader operationalreporting? 3. Current campus ID / payment environment • Are student and employee ID systems managed directly through Banner, through a separate campus card platform, or through a combination of systems? • If separate, are you able to share the current platform/vendor name? 4. Financial aid and departmental accounts • Can you clarify the expected workflows for financial aid and departmental purchasing? • Are these transactions expected to occur directly at the register in real time, and are there existing approval or balance-check mechanisms that must be preserved? 5. Hardware expectations • Since the current environment references iPads and Clover credit card readers, should respondents assume Valencia is open to alternative hardware/payment device models if they better support the College’s operational and integration requirements? 6. eCommerce scope • Is the College seeking a tightly integrated native eCommerce experience within the same platform, or would a best-fit architecture with integrated third-party commerce components also be considered? 7. Sandbox / training environment • For the requested training mode or sandbox environment, are you expecting a fully separate non-production tenant with realistic configuration and role-based testing?	7/13/2026 3:27:33 PM
