ATLANTA -- Radiant Systems Inc. has signed an agreement with fuel-dispensing systems supplier Gilbarco Veeder-Root to integrate Radiant Point of Sale with the Gilbarco FlexPay outdoor payment terminal, a move that makes a secure, cost-effective pay-at-pump solution available for retailers worldwide.
To provide maximum safety for credit card data and transactions, Gilbarco Veeder-Root's FlexPay outdoor payment terminal has level 1 and level 2 certifications through the consortium of Europay, Mastercard and Visa (EMV) and uses PIN pads that are approved by the Payment Card Industry council. [image-nocss] The companies accomplished the integration between Radiant POS and Gilbarco FlexPay through Radiant's fourth-generation Tiger forecourt controller and Gilbarco's FlexPay software development kit, requiring no third-party devices and ensuring industry-leading transaction speeds at the dispenser.
Gilbarco Veeder-Root's Over Legacy Cable technology enables the FlexPay terminal and Tiger forecourt controller to communicate over older forecourt wiring, which the companies say distinguishes the FlexPay terminal from many other outdoor payment terminals that require rewiring of the forecourt. The Radiant POS and FlexPay terminal work together, allowing retailers the flexibility to introduce interactive marketing campaigns at the forecourt through a bright, color display on the FlexPay terminal.
"It was a strategic decision for both companies to make this investment and jointly support technology innovation," said Andrew Robinson, director of global payment business unit at Gilbarco Veeder-Root.
"In a growing number of markets around the world, consumers are now expecting the speed and convenience of paying at the pump," said Douglas Henderson, director of global product marketing for the global petroleum and convenience retail division at Radiant Systems. "This integration brings together two world-class products in one solution that is secure, fast, reliable, and easy to use."
Radiant Systems, Atlanta, is a provider of technology to the hospitality, retail and entertainment industries for restaurants, retail stores, stadiums, parks, arenas, cinemas, convenience stores, fuel centers and other customer-service venues.
Greensboro, N.C.-based Gilbarco Veeder-Root is a leading suppliers of integrated fuel control, site management, and support services for petroleum marketers and commercial fueling enterprises worldwide.
