Large Retail

Ensuring the successful completion of millions of transactions each day - in store and on the web - through a combination of debit, credit and cheques is only part of the story for large, multilane retailers.

Many have wide-ranging reward and e-purse schemes, and complex estates of thousands of hand-held and countertop payment terminals that require effective management.

Controlling total cost of ownership, the speed and security of card authentication and transaction, and the guarantee of uninterrupted connection are critical success factors. Added to this, with large retailers often spanning country borders, they face the challenge of domestic and international financial and security regulation.

Set against this complex environment is the retailer’s desire to differentiate service. In one of the most competitive sectors in the world economy, gaining business intelligence to highlight key trends and buying patterns is increasingly crucial to create differentiation through new service delivery and improved levels of convenience for customers.
