In a move to accelerate its recent expansion into the retail and
finance vertical markets, Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) has signed a
deal with Powa Technologies to distribute the PowaPOS T-series POS
solution in the North American marketplace. With this move, the
global technology leader further cements its commitment to building
out its growing Point-of-Sale business, selecting PowaPOS as the
best-in-class tablet-POS solution based on its unique, fully
integrated design, advanced features and EMV-readiness.

“Ingram Micro has long been a global leader in providing
advanced technology services and solutions, and with this
partnership creates an offering ideal for the competitive retail
and finance industries in North America, but with the ability to
rapidly expand to other international markets to complement both
companies’ worldwide presence,” said Jeff Dumbrell, CEO of PowaPOS,
a division of Powa Technologies.
“Market demand for a scalable, flexible tablet-based payment
solution continues to grow, and with Ingram’s global reach,
thousands of its channel partners can now call on the company to
meet this market need,” continued Dumbrell.
In September, Ingram Micro announced its intentions to expand
its POS offerings, as well as broaden its vertical market strategy
to include retail and finance markets. A part of the Ingram Micro
Specialty Solutions Division, the Data Capture/POS business unit
empowers channel partners to tap into high-margin sales and service
opportunities around select vertical markets by offering
best-in-class products, solutions, business support resources,
geographical reach, professional services and inventory
management.
“The innovative PowaPOS platform is the ideal component to help
us deliver a complete POS and payments solution to our channel
partners, one that is also EMV-ready to meet the need for retailers
and others to upgrade their store-front hardware over the next
year,“ said Jeff Yelton, vice president and general manager, Ingram
North America Data capture/POS Division. ”The PowaPOS solution is a
key piece in ensuring our partners continue to have a competitive
advantage with the businesses they serve.”
Earlier this year, Powa Technologies unveiled the PowaPOS
T-Series, a tablet-based solution that integrates industry-leading
components into one simplified, attractive and space-saving POS
stand. North American and global response has been strong for
PowaPOS’ unique integration of features, including a
tilting/swiveling tablet mount, high-speed printer, 2D barcode
scanner, encrypting magnetic stripe reader, EMV-compliant smartcard
reader, secure PIN-entry keypad, and cash drawer.
Additionally, the PowaPOS SDK combines an industry-leading set
of features that work seamlessly with existing tablet applications
across iOS, Android and Windows operating systems with a single
API. Working together, the PowaPOS SDK and online Developer Portal
simplify app integration with PowaPOS point-of-sale hardware and
services, including PowaTag, the company’s fast-growing mobile
commerce solution that now has more than 800 brand partners around
the world.
