Ingram Micro First to Market With Retail-Focused SecurePOS SMB Bundle
Leading Technology Vendors Team with Ingram Micro Data Capture/POS Division to Deliver All-in-One, Secure and Safe Point of Sale Bundle Designed for SMBs
LAS VEGAS, July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- RSPA RetailNOW -- Offering channel partners the industry's broadest and most complete selection of technology solutions, Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) is pleased to announce its new SecurePOS (Point of Sale) SMB Bundle - a unique, all-in-one POS solution that provides retailers with complete, end-to-end data encryption of cardholder information beginning at the swipe of the consumer's credit card.
Available now through the Ingram Micro Data Capture/POS Division, the new SecurePOS SMB Bundle is the first solution of its kind to offer data encryption capabilities. Sold exclusively to Ingram Micro channel partners in the U.S., the new bundle is comprised of several in-demand technologies including the HP rp3000 Point of Sale System, MagTek MagneSafe Card Reader, and Uniforce Technology software. Additional hardware and software vendors featured within the new bundle include Cherry Electronics, Citizen, Planar, and Payment Processing, Inc. (PPI).
According to Justin Scopaz, general manager and vice president of Ingram Micro's fast-growing Data Capture/POS Division, the market need and sales potential for an affordable, safe, reliable and secure POS solution is increasing rapidly among small and mid-size retailers.
"Adoption of POS technology is growing due to the critical business need for increased, productivity and accountability," says Scopaz. "Yet, businesses that are not selective with the technology they deploy will continue to run the risk of card theft and lose money, as well as customers, because they do not have a secure POS solution in place. This new SecurePOS SMB Bundle is unlike anything available through distribution today and offers our channel partners a safe, secure and affordable all-in-one solution for their retail customers."
"Ingram Micro's SecurePOS SMB bundle is an exciting new offering that delivers the security and performance retailers need, and the technical, sales and marketing support channel partners want from their distribution partner," says Dave Swinkin, U.S. Sales Manager, HP rPOS.
"We are fortunate to be a part of this outstanding collaboration with Ingram Micro and its vendor partners to deliver an industry-first cardholder data encryption solution for restaurants and retailers," says Chuck Reigel, Executive Vice President, Software Products and Partnerships, PPI. "This new SecurePOS SMB Bundle brings to market a powerful solution that helps our channel partners ensure their customers' data is always safe and secure."
Ingram Micro's new SecurePOS SMB Bundle is supported by the distributor's best-in-class, cross-trained team of technical engineers. Additional sales and marketing resources have also been dedicated to this new offering and are available now.
