Datacap Systems develops processor and hardware-agnostic innovative integrated payment solutions for any Point of Sale, regardless of system architecture. Industry-standard payment solutions from Datacap are utilized by hundreds of POS applications in an array of vertical markets.

Challenges

With an overabundance of foot traffic, Erba Collective needed a way to reduce wait times and increase customer turnover. greenbox Robotics needed a way to add cashless payments to their kiosks. So, Erba Collective and greenbox Robotics turned to Datacap.

Solution

Erba Collective uses greenbox’s kiosks with Datacap’s NETePay™ software and Ingenico’s iSelf Series TRIO.

greenbox Robotics kiosks are intuitive and informative. Consumers can browse through Erba’s catalog of products by filtering and searching, ensuring that they always find what they need. greenbox’s kiosks feature a robotic arm, a gull-wing door for easy re-stocking and a temperature controlled storage unit.

Ingenico’s iSelf Series TRIO allows easy and secure integration of cashless payments into self-service hardware via Datacap’s payments engine. The iSelf TRIO is comprised of a PIN pad, NFC contactless reader, and a card insertion reader.

Datacap’s NETePay routes card payment data directly to the credit card processor, completely isolating Erba and greenbox from having to interact with sensitive cardholder data.
