ATM and TCR fleets are capital-intensive. Whether you’re managing 100 machines or 10,000, the sticker shock doesn’t end after deployment. The real costs—the ones that eat away at margins—are often hidden in the everyday.


Delayed maintenance. Inconsistent parts availability. Untracked redeployments. Outdated inventory systems. These aren’t just operational headaches. They’re budget killers.


At Tellerex, we believe lifecycle management isn’t a maintenance function—it’s a financial strategy.


The Problem: Bleeding Capital, One Machine at a Time

Even the best-intentioned fleet operations can fall into cost traps:

  • Emergency repairs that blow up monthly budgets

  • Surprise part orders that turn into logistical chaos

  • Idle equipment that ties up capital without adding value

  • Lack of visibility into where assets are, what shape they’re in, or what they’re costing you


These inefficiencies compound quietly, creating a persistent drag on profitability.


The Solution: Asset Lifecycle Management That Pays for Itself

Tellerex helps financial institutions, OEMs, and service providers stop the slow bleed and start seeing ROI. Our integrated lifecycle platform optimizes every stage—deployment to retirement—with strategies engineered to protect your budget.


Here’s how:


  1. Extend Lifespan with Like-New Remanufacturing

    Why replace when you can restore? Our full-unit remanufacturing process includes diagnostics, compliance checks, and performance testing. The result: machines that perform like new—at a fraction of the cost of new hardware.


  2. Avoid Emergency Spend with Parts Subscription Services

    Flat-rate pricing. Fast access to critical ATM and TCR parts. Zero guesswork. Our subscription model helps you eliminate reactive purchasing and gives you predictable spend month after month.


  3. Turn Retired Assets into Found Budget

    We help you extract value from every end-of-life asset—through resale, repurposing, or responsible recycling. With Tellerex, even retired machines can contribute to your bottom line.


  4. Track Every Asset, Every Dollar with SPOTLight

    SPOTLight, our cloud-based portal, provides real-time visibility into inventory, parts usage, refurb progress, and logistics. You can’t manage what you don’t measure—and SPOTLight makes measurement effortless.


This Isn’t About Cutting Corners—It’s About Spending Smarter

Lifecycle management isn’t just operational hygiene. Done right, it’s a lever for cost savings, sustainability, and performance.


Tellerex brings the infrastructure, strategy, and visibility to make your ATM and TCR fleets work harder for less.
