About Us

CardSmart Systems is located in Lisle, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago.  The primary focus of our business is to sell products and services needed for identification and card issuance programs.  We represent many of the major brands in our industry and are the largest and most recognized supplier in our local area of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin.

We also offer complimentary product lines that fall within our area of expertise and are needed by our core customers.  Network authentication programs, healthcare wristband and label solutions and wireless networking for PDA’s and other handheld devices are examples.   These product lines represent rapidly expanding parts of our business.

We offer our customers a great deal of experience and industry expertise.  Many of our employees joined us after working with some of the companies whose products we represent.  In fact CardSmart Systems employees collectively have more than 200 years of combined experience in the identification and card issuance industry.

Our marketing staff provides consultative services to our customers to help them identify and implement the latest technologies available for identification and card issuance programs.  We understand the requirements of the industries that we serve and  always target our recommendations toward solving business needs rather than providing products.

Our large service staff provides on-site installation service, customer training for software and equipment and on-site service support during and after new product warranty.  For customers who are covered by an on-site warranty or a service contract we average less than one business hour response by phone and four-business hour response to be on-site.  Our technicians carry computers and the latest diagnostic tools from the product manufacturers.  Each of our technicians is factory trained on

the use of the diagnostic tools and general troubleshooting and repair of the products we sell.  CardSmart Systems service technicians participate in hundreds of hours of training each year to keep their skills current and learn service procedures for new products.  Each of our service technicians carries with him an inventory of commonly needed parts valued at several thousand dollars.  Additional parts are stored at our office in Lisle or we can have parts shipped directly from the factory for next day delivery.  We use only factory certified repair parts.

Supplies are stocked in our Lisle office and can usually be shipped the same day as ordered or we can have supplies drop shipped directly from the factory.  We have more than 1,200 customers who utilize our products and/or services.  We would be happy to provide you with customer references in your industry.  CardSmart Systems is a strong customer focused company who will provide the level of expertise and support that your organization is looking for.
