The new offering combines Conduent’s expertise in managing a
range of payment services for public sector clients with AshBritt’s
experience with various disaster recovery efforts. The companies
stand ready to quickly support government agencies or other
organizations that help people and communities affected by natural
disasters or other crises.
As a U.S. industry leader delivering electronic payments for
government services in 37 states, Conduent offers instant or
digital payment capabilities to agencies and other entities. Its
Rapid Assistance solution can dramatically accelerate agencies’ and
non-profits’ ability to securely deliver funds to individuals in
minutes, rather than in days or weeks. Conduent can also provide
chip-enabled, pre-paid debit cards – helping to ensure that those
affected by disasters and crises receive aid quickly regardless of
their banking status.
AshBritt is an industry leader in rapid-response logistics, such
as base camps and comfort stations set up in communities. These
types of facilities usually become points of distribution for those
affected by a disaster, and this collaboration further expands the
services that can be offered. AshBritt’s senior management and
technical consultants have more than 200 years of combined
experience and are intimately acquainted with all facets of
disaster recovery efforts, including debris removal, management,
reduction, processing, recycling and disposal, as well as emergency
planning, damage mitigation and risk abatement.
“This innovative new collaboration with AshBritt is a great
example of how two companies can combine their unique capabilities
and expertise to meet a critical need among communities
nationwide,” said Wade Fairey, General Manager, Payments and Child
Support Solutions at Conduent. “Many natural disasters require mass
distribution of funds as quickly as possible, and Conduent has deep
experience in providing secure payment solutions that offer
recipients near-immediate assistance. We’re proud to play a role in
helping those who need support.”
“AshBritt is a government solutions provider always looking for
new and innovative methods for delivering resources and services to
communities we serve after an emergency event,” said Gerardo
Castillo, President, Management and Logistics at AshBritt. “This
novel collaboration with Conduent, a leader in their respective
industry, allows us to continue offering the clients we serve with
the most effective post-emergency solutions.”
