to be able to offer a mobile voucher redemption ability to our customers is a major advance Simon Wilding, Managing Director of Commidea
Ocius has become the market leading credit card payment solution used by a range of customers including major high street retailers and small independents. By adding mobile voucher technology to its suite of products, Commidea has removed the final barrier to entry for many retailers - Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) integration – enabling thousands of retailers to accept mobile vouchers and coupons. Commidea are experts at delivering payment solutions to retailers and operate a unique managed service business model.Eagle Eye Solutions’ (EES) Mobile Voucher Redemption System (MVRS) easily integrates into any EPOS, providing real-time reporting and tracking of any voucher campaign, making it simple and easy for retailers to validate and audit. The concept of mobile vouchers has been around for sometime, however, this agreement opens up the mainstream high street retail market for the first time.
The mobile voucher solution from EES will be integrated into Commidea’s retail partners and customers during a structured rollout. The individual retailer will have the final say on whether they want to accept voucher campaigns or not.
Simon Wilding, Managing Director of Commidea, said: “Commidea works with a number of large retailers such as Thomas Cook and Poundland. We process in excess of £16bn worth of transactions annually and to be able to offer a mobile voucher redemption ability to our customers is a major advance in electronic retail payment solutions and we are delighted to be working with Eagle Eye Solutions.”
Steve Rothwell, CEO Eagle Eye Solutions, said: “As providers of mobile technology to the retail environment, we are delighted with this agreement. It opens up the market for mobile vouchers to the mainstream retail environment as never before and demonstrates the erosion of the final obstacle to mass-market acceptance of the mobile voucher.”
