The Retail Storefront is undergoing
a world of change, with product
specialization losing out to multiservice
capability. The retail POS is
becoming more than the cash till
and is a powerful medium to deliver
non-traditional services, offer realtime
consumer incentives and
capture valuable consumer shopping
profiles for more targeted marketing.
Retail verticals like Grocery,
Pharmacy and Convenience
(Petrochemical and Corner) Stores
are consumer destinations for more
than just the traditional essentials.
Consumers are increasingly
expecting one-stop-shopping
solutions at these locations,
including Telecom Top-Up services,
Bill Payment, Gift Card POSA etc.
The ability to offer these solutions in
a secure, cost-effective and scalable
model can often times prove to be
the single largest contributor to retail
brand differentiation and consumer
loyalty.
Increasing legal compliance enforcement
by government agencies and
burgeoning operation costs enforced
by the payment interchanges is
forcing retailers to adopt newer
fraud-prevention measures, such as
Age Verification, Pin Debit and
Biometrics.
ISTS brings referenceable implementation
experience, coupled with
custom solution frameworks to help
deliver these solutions at POS. ISTS
builds on a rich legacy of POS
development and Payment System
development and integration. We
bring together people, processes and
tools required to implement a
framework that supports applications
of this nature. ISTS has built a POS
framework that creates a common
hub for peripheral solutions, such
as POSA, Age Verification and Check
Authorization, to be added on as
independent modules either
independently or as a comprehensive
solution. This offers retailers an
affordable path to build these
capabilities over time. At the same
time, ISTS offers independent product
and service solutions for each area
that can be integrated into the
Retailers existing POS environment.
ISTS leverages the latest .NET and
Java platforms to build applications
that can be easily integrated into
traditional POS solutions like IBM
4690 and NCR.
