AUSTIN, Texas & COCONUT CREEK, Fla. -- Acumera, a leader in trusted connection services for retail organizations, and ZipLine, a leading provider of mobile- and card-based decoupled debit (ACH) payment solutions, have launched the ZipLine Connection App.
As a part of Acumera's suite of Apps for Your Network services--which provides a remotely upgradeable system for securely connecting devices and information to the Internet of Things--the new application runs on Acumera's Merchant Gateway platform. Acumera customers can now benefit by offering ZipLine payment and loyalty services to their consumers, with no additional hardware investment at their sites.
ZipLine customers can now use Acumera's Merchant Gateway to connect to the ZipLine platform to experience fast transaction performance and remotely monitor those transactions, as well as other performance and alerts, through Acumera's AcuVigil dashboard. ZipLine customers will also have the ability to upgrade to the full suite of Acumera's trusted connection services.
Austin, Texas-based MTG Management of Central Texas is already enjoying these benefits as a customer of both Acumera and ZipLine.
"Combining ZipLine services, which drive traffic and reduce our transaction costs, with the Acumera service that provides network security and visibility, is a powerful combination for our C-Store business," said Guy Oliver, president of MTG, which supplies approximately 30 gas stations, including several Gulf Oil-branded outlets, in the Austin, Texas, area. "We're saving money and gaining better insight into our operations."
