Kings Langley Services Club are a long established members club who decided to invest in a new EPOS solution using the very latest IPOS Club system technology.

The solution uses Poswyse software that takes full advantage of the new Tysso Zenis touch screen pos terminal with 2nd customer screen and also contactless smart card readers for the new club member system.

New features requested by the club were included in Poswyse Software which is developed by ECR Concepts Software as part of the project.

The advantage of the Zenis POS terminal with customer screen means members can see a detailed list of drinks purchased and also when the POS terminal is not being operated a rolling display of adverts is shown to customers. Kings Langley Services Club take full advantage of this option as they can sell the advertising space to local businesses to provide an extra revenue stream.

The use of contactless smart card readers also means the transaction process is very quick to identify a member sale and is much more reliable than using magnetic swipe cards. Poswyse software is designed to automatically switch to member prices when the card is presented to the reader.

Poswyse software also uses a system called ‘transaction pipe’ which updates the sales information in real-time after each transaction. This means accurate, up to date sales data is available on the back office computer which shows each members, group sales including function sales data.

Preh KeyTec Keyboard Data Encryption

Recent regulations regarding patient (HIPPA) and consumer (PCI) privacy, lead Preh to introduce SecurEntry to the MCI family of keyboards.

Why code Encryption into the application when you can encrypt the data in the keyboard before transmitting to the host.

Preh KeyTec used advanced, processor-based keyboards to take data security to the next level. Now personal data is secured and encrypted before it ever leaves the keyboard.

Concerned about Data Security?

Is your keyboard used to input secured Data?

Preh KeyTec encrypt data received from the MSR or the alpha numeric section of the keyboard.

Encrypted Data

Protected! Consider your customer’s credit card data. Encrypt Magnetic Swipe reader (MSR) Data within the confines of our keyboard before it is sent to the computer.

Secure! Preh KeyTec Encrypt numeric pad (NUMPAD) data inside of the keyboard. Ideal for ‘card not present’ transactions often seen in retail.

Transactions requiring proof of ID, like those often associated with Driver‘s license and Social Security numbers can also be encrypted.

Safe and Sound! Now corporate passwords, home addresses, diagnosis, etc., can be secure. Preh Encrypt Key Stroke data within our keyboard.

Locked Up Tight! Fingerprint data is protected in the most sensitive applications for secure log-on, access control, time and attendance, etc.

Sensitive Data! When one Encryption method isn’t enough, we can work with you to provide any combination of Encryption amongst MSR, NUMPAD, Key Stroke, and Biometric input.

Preh KeyTec keyboards adapt to your customer’s ever changing business. Preh KeyTec Application Specific Keyboards (ASK) are ideal for use in a wide range of verticals from Healthcare to Government, Financial to Enterprise, Airlines to Customs, Retail, Grocery, and beyond.

providing the operator the ability to drill down into an application with a single key stroke.

This advanced programmability helps simplify operator training and enhances data input.

Preh KeyTec are robust keyboards and designed to withstand “Heavy Fingers” and 30 Million key strokes; a metal base plate allows the MCI keyboards to remain rigid in the most demanding environments.

Contactless payments are on the rise in the convenience payment sector and companies like Commidea who supply companies like Eat and Pret A Manager are at the forefront of this technology.The announcement that Orange will partner with Barclaycard to further extend the concept to the mobile phone will make a major impact on how customers pay for small value transactions.

International POS Ltd(IPOS)have supplied the Commidea Ocius chip&pin solution for a number of years to the retail and hospitality industry and the benefits are well known when they invest in the necessary technology.

See hospitality example: http://www.iposltd.com/blog/?p=40

IPOS believes further analysys is necessary before retailers can justify extending the normal chip&pin solution to contactless for the transactions below £15.00. It is clear however that as its popularity increases the pressure for retailers to make the additional investment will also grow.

The Thatched Cottage Restaurant in Sutterton near Boston is well known in the area for providing excellent local produce cooked to perfection in beautiful surroundings.

Marion and Bob Lowrie acquired the Thatch on 17 January 2005 and since then the garden room, patio and country park have been created. The restaurant and kitchen have also been refurbished.The Thatch has been restored and new tie rods fitted to ensure that this beautiful old grade 2 listed building which dates back to the 12th century stands for many more years to come.To add to the atmosphere the dining rooms include paintings by local artists; Cecily Machin & Hugh Marrow.

The plan is also to introduce a farm shop in February where local Lincolnshire produce may be purchased. Bob requested IPOS to provide an integrated system which would not only provide a solution for the busy bar and restaurant but also for the farm shop.

IPOS recommended Poswyse software with Tysso touch screen terminals to provide the integrated EPOS system. The addition of a Cas Weighing scale with a bar code printer was also supplied for labeling fresh local produce. Poswyse software was configured to scan the variable weight bar codes on the shop pos scanning terminal.
