Commidea Launch Advanced Chip & PIN Solution
By utilising the point of sale (PoS) processor rather than the terminal itself, Ocius for PCs maximises the benefit of PoS functionality by processing transactions in seconds while being complemented by a stylish pin pad to enter the customer’s pin code.
Once the Ocius for PCs software is installed from a CD or by remote download onto the till system and a Secura Pin Pad is connected to a point of sale, any retailer from an independent store to a multi-site outlet will have a state-of-the-art, powerful and user-friendly way to handle Chip & PIN transactions.
Not only is it quick and easy to install, it is also cost effective too - the entire solution including software, hardware and processing costs from as little as £9.99 per point of sale per month. This is the best value solution on the market when compared to a bank owned terminal or other Chip & PIN solutions.
Retailers and their customers will appreciate the lightweight and stylish Secura PIN pad, and the speed and reliability with which transactions are handled. To improve efficiency at the point of sale further, receipts are also printed using the till printer rather than the terminal.
Ocius for PCs is one of the few APACS Common Criteria compliant solutions on the market. This is the international certification that evaluates the security of IT products and has been adopted by APACS as the standard requirement for PIN entry testing in the UK.
Easily installed from one CD ROM on any PC based PoS running Windows 2000 or higher, the solution is pre-approved by all major UK banks, eradicating the need to wait in the approvals queue. Powerhouse processing in the background using Commidea’s ICP hosted card payment processing system, a large technical support team and access to an advanced web based reporting tool to analyse transactions, completes the cycle to ensure this is not just a chip and pin device, but a total payment processing solution.
“The Ocius for PCs product truly is the next generation Chip and PIN solution.” commented Commidea’s Managing Director Simon Wilding. “Even by word of mouth only, we have already deployed Ocius for PCs to a large number of retailers including some major high street chains. The market is appreciating the power of Ocius for PCs and its benefits over other solutions.”
