The iSMP4 Companion, multi-bay docking station and universal
tablet enclosure offer enhanced mobile use for the most demanding,
fast-paced payment environments
Ingenico Group (Euronext: FR0000125346 - ING), the global leader
in seamless payment, today announced the launch of the iSMP4
Companion, a groundbreaking enterprise-class mobile point of sale
(mPOS) device. Featuring the largest screen and battery capacity in
its class, the lightweight iSMP4 makes it easy to accept all forms
of payments – including EMV chip & PIN and chip & sign,
magstripe and NFC/contactless – anywhere, anytime a merchant and
consumer interaction may take place.
The iSMP4’s suite of accessories is comprised of a multi-bay
docking station and rugged, universal tablet enclosure, which are
specifically engineered to work seamlessly together with the iSMP4
Companion. Each piece of hardware has been designed from the
ground-up to meet the unique needs of high transaction environments
and support a broad range of enterprise use cases for in-store,
out-of-store and on-board payment acceptance.
“Over the past few years, the mPOS market has grown rapidly with
small and medium-sized merchants, but within the enterprise –
including retail, restaurants, hotels and even healthcare –
adoption has progressed at a slower rate. In the U.S., much of the
delay has been attributed to the EMV migration, but globally, the
solutions available in the market haven’t always been capable of
addressing the unique challenges that enterprises are faced with,”
said Jordan McKee, senior analyst at 451 Research. “Agile,
feature-rich mPOS devices designed with the needs of the enterprise
in mind are a must to allow this market opportunity to reach its
full potential.”
Throughout the development of the iSMP4, Ingenico Group worked
closely with many of the world’s leading enterprise retail,
restaurant and hotel brands who have been pioneers in redefining
the customer experience to gather requirements and better
understand their mobility challenges. Based on this feedback, along
with the company’s extensive R&D expertise, Ingenico Group was
able to build the industry’s most innovative, ergonomic and secure
mPOS solution, designed specifically for the enterprise.
Key features of the iSMP4 include:
- 2.8” backlit color display to provide
an optimal user experience even in bright outdoor environments
- Long lasting 2,000mAh battery that
supports a full workday and can be easily swapped-out for rapid
replacement
- 1D/2D commercial-grade barcode scanner
to speed up the checkout process and support barcode and QR code
based mobile wallet programs
- Compatible with any iOS, Android,
Windows or Linux based device
- Universal tablet enclosure enables
one-handed use and supports a range of popular 8” tablets,
including Apple, HP, Samsung and Dell devices
- Various docking (power &
communications) and storage options – single-bay docks, multi-bay
docks, stands and holsters
- An illuminated EMV slot that guides
consumer interactions
- Ability to be used as a standalone
device or connected with a tablet or smartphone via Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth and physical pairing options
- Support for both integrated and
semi-integrated configurations
“Enterprise merchants have been interested in mPOS solutions for
years, but the vast majority of devices were designed with the
needs of smaller merchants in mind rather than enterprise
businesses,” said Jacques Guérin, EVP of Smart Terminals &
Mobile Solutions, Ingenico Group. “Ingenico Group’s iSMP4 is
designed specifically for enterprise merchants to allow them to
move beyond the checkout lane. With its long lasting battery life
and compatibility with a wide range of devices, the iSMP4 will help
spark greater adoption of mPOS across not only tier one retailers,
but enterprises and other businesses as well.”
Ingenico Group will showcase the iSMP4 for the first time
at Money 20/20 (Booth #2612), taking place in Las Vegas, NV,
October 23-26, 2016. For more information, please visit:
