WHITELEY, England, Dec. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- InComm, a
leading provider of integrated point-of-sale (POS) technology
solutions to retailers, is pleased to announce a partnership with
Edenred UK. Edenred is one of the leading providers of employee
benefits and incentive solutions, improving the efficiency of
organisations and making employees' lives easier.
Many well-known and popular gift cards, including Currys PC
World, can be purchased through Edenred's Instant Savings eGift
Card Platform, both on desktop and on mobiles. Providing new
gifting and self-use options for their clients' employees, the
launch of this platform enables employees to purchase gift cards
online and via their mobiles for instant delivery and use in-store
or online.
"The new eGift cards enable employees to save on purchases
instantly on the go," Andy Philpott,
Marketing Director at Edenred UK, said. "For employers, this will
significantly increase employee participation with their benefit
programmes."
Edenred is one of the first Employee Benefits providers in the
UK to offer this product to its customers. InComm's extensive
experience and historical success in delivering gift cards via
online solutions in other countries is fully expected to be
replicated through Edenred.
"With the demand from employees to have gift cards delivered
instantly stronger than ever, our recent launch with Edenred is set
to change the way in which employees purchase gift cards within the
employee benefits market in the UK," said Frank Monaco, Executive Vice President of
International, InComm. "It is a pleasure to work with
forward-thinking companies such as Edenred. We are confident the
digital delivery platform we have integrated with them will become
a key and valuable route to market in the UK and look forward to
