Sodexho Pass should be replaced with Smart Cards

I feel the Sodexho food coupons which are provided as part of the salary package in almost all IT companies can be replaced with smart cards and card readers can be provided to all the places where the coupons are accepted. I think this will be beneficial to Sodexho services, associates, vendors and most importantly to the environment in large, due to the below advantages:

1. The cost incurred for printing the coupons will be eliminated. 

2. Trees which are cut down to produce papers for printing these coupons can be eliminated.

3. The transportation cost incurred for distributing the coupons to all the places across the country can be reduced.

 4. The laptops which are used while distributing the coupons will no longer be required which will reduce e-waste. Instead of these laptops the smart card readers can be distributed to all the places where the food coupons are accepted.

 5. The number of employees employed to distribute the food coupons can be diverted to other works.

6. Associates need not stand in long queues once in a month and waste time to collect the food coupons.

 7. Associates can tender exact amount at places where the coupons are accepted.

8. Associates no need to carry bulk food coupons in purses just a smart card will be enough.
