Texas-based fintech provider Talus partnered Samsung to launch ReadyPoint, an all-in-one smart mobile point-of-sale (PoS) app to help merchants run their businesses better.

Powered by secure SoftPoS tap-to-pay capabilities from Ingenico, the app turns a Galaxy smartphone or tablet into a complete business operating suite combining payments, business operations, inventory management, customer engagement and insights on one device that everyone already knows how to use.

ReadyPoint can simplify payments, streamline operations, deliver seamless customer experiences and boost productivity, whether merchants run their businesses entirely on-the-go or want more flexibility in brick-and-mortar environments. By putting a full PoS system in the palm of an employee’s hand, ReadyPoint helps them meet customers and conduct business where they are, freeing organisations from fixed checkout counters and computer screens.

Built for a wide variety of industries and use cases, including mobile and field service, contractors and installers, automotive, boutiques and specialty retail, ReadyPoint provides NFC tap-to-pay and camera barcode scanning, along with tap, link, QR code and manual payment card entry. Tap-to-pay capabilities are powered by PCI MPoC certified Ingenico SoftPoS technology.

“Dedicated merchant accounts and first-class support set ReadyPoint apart,” said Talus CEO Kim Fitzsimmons. “In payfac environments, one problematic sub-merchant can put others at risk of account shutdown. ReadyPoint’s digital merchant application, instant approvals, onboarding and activation reduce start-up time while helping merchants avoid pooled-risk exposure. Resellers and their customers also receive responsive, knowledgeable support from US-based payments professionals instead of hard-to-understand offshore agents, delayed or incomplete email replies, or scripted chat responses that miss the mark.”

Jaime Hawkins from French firm Ingenico (ingenico.com) added: “ReadyPoint reflects how strong partnerships can help businesses combine secure payment acceptance with the flexibility and mobility they need to operate more effectively. Together with Talus and Samsung, we’re helping merchants simplify operations, enhance the customer experience and adapt to the way commerce is evolving.”
