Verifone E-Series mPOS Solution
Verifone
what it is: Mobile point of sale (m-POS) termi- nals that can support all smartphone and tablet form factors and major operating systems.
why it works: Merchants of any size can use the hardware to accept payments in various environments, from store counters to craft fairs. Accepts all methods of payment, including magnetic stripe cards, EMV, NFC-based mobile wallets (including Apple Pay), gift cards and loyalty programs. Can connect to Verifone’s
Commerce Platform, an open app marketplace (similar to iTunes) that merchants can use to develop, select and download payment and commerce apps directly to the terminal.
why it matters: Besides helping retailers accept all forms of payment, device-agnostic hardware helps retailers protect previous technology investments. For example, one client was able to integrate the E-Series with 1,500 iPads already used at its retail stores. If it wasn’t for the ability to support existing devices, the retailer would have wasted $750,000 of its original iPad investment. Plus, Verifone Commerce Platform support enables merchants to keep the devices up-to-date with the latest apps to enhance the customer experience.
differentiators: Directly integrates with all types of smartphones and tablets, helping merchants get longevity from their devices. What’s more, the terminal can o er consumers personalized o ers based on their shopping history.
what the judges said: Verifone is solving a
key problem in the m-POS space—future- proo ng. Add to that, the company’s reach and you get widespread adoption of m-POS readers that help retailers reinvent the in- store shopping experience for their customers.
Directly integrates with all types of smartphones and tablets, solving the problem of merchants having to replace m-POS
terminals with OS updates and mobile device changes.
