COLUMBIA, Md., Oct. 2,
2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MICROS Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCRS), a leading
provider of information technology solutions for the hospitality
and retail industries, is pleased to announce the integration of
the Isis SmartTap™ mobile commerce application into the MICROS
Simphony™ point of service (POS) platform, allowing
consumers to make purchases, redeem offers and present loyalty
cards with the single tap of their smartphone. MICROS
pioneered the integration of Isis SmartTap at ARAMARK restaurant
locations in Basking Ridge,
NJ.
The seamless two-way integration of Isis SmartTap into the
cloud-based MICROS Simphony POS platform offers restaurant
operators the opportunity to engage patrons and build customer
loyalty with cutting-edge payment options. Using intelligent
processing, existing loyalty, offers, and promotional programs can
be mobilized by utilizing the Isis Mobile Wallet™ without the need
for further infrastructure from the restaurateur, providing
restaurant patrons' access on-the-go.
ARAMARK's Basking Ridge
location was the first food and beverage environment to implement
the Isis SmartTap mobile commerce application. The mobile
solution was integrated and put into production with MICROS's
state-of-the-art Simphony™ cloud-based POS solution.
The installation includes a MICROS Workstation 5A (WS5A) equipped
with an NFC enabled reader at each of the 10 lanes to facilitate
tap and pay mobile payments, increasing speed of service.
"ARAMARK Business and Industry is excited to pioneer this new
method of accepting payments, coupons, and loyalty offerings," said
Stephen Erickson, Chief Information
Officer, ARAMARK Business and Industry. "We and our customers
are pleased to embrace this innovative technology and enjoy its
benefits."
"Through our work with Isis, MICROS is able to provide our
Simphony POS users with a new avenue to engage customers and
cater to changes in transactions at the point of service," said
Michael L. Russo, Chief Technology
Officer, MICROS Systems, Inc. "We welcome integrations that
drive additional business for our restaurant customers, and are
pleased to be the first POS software provider to integrate Isis
SmartTap, allowing for a contactless environment by the restaurant
patron."
"Mobile commerce provides a significant opportunity for
merchants and restaurateurs to engage with consumers and build
customer loyalty through payments, loyalty and offers," said
Jim Stapleton, chief sales officer,
Isis. "The integration of Isis SmartTap into the MICROS
Simphony POS platform provides MICROS customers with a
seamless way to integrate mobile commerce at the point of
service."
