Merchants’ Choice Payment Solutions Powers its All-New Foundry POS Solution with Powa Technologies
Leading merchant acquirer enters tablet POS space, leads rollout of its application for retail and restaurants with the PowaPOS platform
ATLANTA, GA –MARCH 4, 2015 – Powa Technologies today announced a partnership between its PowaPOS retail payments platform and Merchants’ Choice Payment Solutions’ (MCPS) all-new Foundry POS application. The partnership between the two leading companies will provide a robust, fully integrated and secure tablet-based POS solution for retail and restaurant industries.
“As demand for tablet-based payments solutions continues to skyrocket, and with the coming EMV transition, many merchants are more receptive today than ever before to finding a solution that meets their specific business needs,” said Michael Struttmann, SVP and GM of North America, PowaPOS. “With this partnership, PowaPOS and MCPS can not only provide a powerful POS platform, but also one that leverages MCPS’ payment processing capabilities, for a true all-in-one solution.”
“The payments industry is in an exciting time of convergence, as the cloud, EMV conversion and advanced payments such as Apple Pay continue to gain traction with small and medium businesses. And tablet-based payments are at the center of all of this change,” said Todd Linden, President, MCPS. “As we identified the best hardware partners for our new Foundry POS app, PowaPOS’ sophisticated design along with its simple SDK was the ideal choice. Together, we’ll be able to meet the growing demand from our customers who want to provide an advanced, secure and innovative tablet-based payments solution today.”
PowaPOS is the first point of sale platform purposely built for tablet-based payments. The first fully integrated design to incorporate all common retail peripherals, the PowaPOS T25 features a built in thermal printer, 2D QR/barcode scanner, orientation sensor, as well as the optional PowaPOS cash drawer, all with just a single power cord. With its advanced SDK, PowaPOS easily integrates with all POS software applications, as well as third party payment devices and PowaTag, Powa’s innovative mobile commerce enablement app.
