“For many years BPC has helped financial organizations and banks manage relations with merchants and consumers,” says Marc Solomon, managing director, BPC U.S.A. “Now we’ve taken that experience to create SmartVista for Retailers, which helps retailers compete by differentiating their businesses from the competition, improving customer experience and driving additional revenue,” adds Solomon.
Retailers face considerable challenges in their mission to deliver what consumers want at a price they are willing to pay, backed by the convenience and service they demand. SmartVista for Retailers helps capture market opportunities by rapidly meeting the unique needs of changing markets. The solution supports single- and multi-site retailers, as well as mono-retailers and retailers with multiple departments. A full range of payment options are supported, including EMV (Europay Visa Mastercard) chip and magstripe, contactless and mobile, credit and debit cards, prepaid and virtual cards, gift cards and vouchers, ensuring retailers can offer consumers the widest range of payment acceptance. Designed to operate in a dynamic environment, SmartVista for Retailers is multi-channel, multi-currency, multi-lingual, multi-institution and multi-acquirer.
SmartVista for Retailers also provides all the facilities needed to manage a POS network of any size, whether a mixed or homogeneous estate. Real-time monitoring across entire networks, and event notification facilities such as SMS and email, ensure immediate action can be taken if network events occur.
With an advanced loyalty component, retailers can build sophisticated programs quickly. SmartVista for Retailers supports incentive calculation and accounting, while providing many redemption options, including cash, discounted goods, free goods and fee reductions. Easy integration with existing systems gathers data for loyalty point calculation, plus SmartVista for Retailers can be connected to external systems to share information for co-branded programs. Retailers can use the sophisticated routing and authorization capabilities to ensure that merchant service charges are kept to an absolute minimum, while delivering high levels of reliability, including stand-in authorizations if required.
SmartVista for Retailers is built on a robust, fine-grained, multi-layered security framework and is Payment Card Industry Payment Application Data Security Standard (PCI PA-DSS) compliant. For added peace of mind, retailers may choose to deploy SmartGuard, BPC’s sophisticated, real-time fraud prevention solution which is designed to stop fraud in its tracks before it affects consumers.
