Staying Ahead with Advanced Payment Solutions

In today’s world, where technology is constantly reshaping the way we handle transactions, businesses must stay ahead to succeed in a rapidly changing market. As customers increasingly expect smooth, secure, and innovative checkout experiences, it’s essential for companies to adopt advanced payment solutions that can meet these demands.

As a global leader in secure payment solutions, we understand the importance of developing state-of-the-art technology to address the ever-evolving needs of both service providers and merchants. Recent years have seen a shift from traditional payment terminals to comprehensive Point of Sale (POS) systems. While traditional terminals primarily process payments, POS systems offer a holistic approach to managing sales, inventory, customer data, and more.

By transitioning to a POS system, businesses can streamline their operations by consolidating sales, inventory, and data management into a single platform. This integration allows for better inventory management, automation of sales processes, and a more personalized customer experience.

According to Forrester, a leading research and advisory firm, in their The Point-Of-Service Solutions Landscape, Q3 2024 report, “The POS provides tools for in-store associates to engage customers, make prepurchase adjustments (e.g., item void, price change), offer appeasements (e.g., refund or exchange), and track post-purchase activities (e.g., fulfillment status, order history).” The report also noted that POS systems improve store operations by enhancing customer experiences at the point of purchase through added services and increased engagement.

Our latest addition to the PAX portfolio, the Elys Solution, including the Elys Workstation (L1400) and a range of peripherals, represents a breakthrough in the checkout experience.

Elys Workstation (L1400)

At the heart of the innovative Elys Solution is the Elys Workstation, a powerful and highly configurable POS system that can transform both customer and merchant experiences. This platform integrates all business management solutions, including payments when paired with a PAX payment device, in-store ordering, inventory management, loyalty programs, report generation, and more, through a partnership with a PAX POS software partner.

The workstation features a 14” HD touchscreen, a high-performance processor, the Android 11™ operating system, and a 5MP front-facing camera. It also includes a multiport hub with various communication ports and a mounting plate for secure installation on countertops.

The Elys Workstation can function independently as a self-ordering station or check-in point. When paired with its peripherals, it offers a seamless user experience, making it ideal for businesses such as restaurants, hospitality, and retail.
