Rontec selects Universe for its Secure Fuel Payment Solution
Universe Group plc (UNG.L), a leading developer and supplier of
payment and on-line loyalty systems announces that Rontec
Investments LLP ("Rontec"), a leading independent UK fuel retailer,
has awarded to HTEC Ltd ("HTEC"), a subsidiary of Universe, the
Helpdesk and Field Service contract across its retail network of
more than 100 fuel sites in the United Kingdom. Rontec has also
chosen HTEC to provide its new generation of electronic funds
transfer, loyalty and fuel card acceptance platform for its network
solution. This development follows the consolidation of Rontec's
network after the purchase of sites from Total.
The solution will be based on HTEC's GemPAY payment terminal
("GemPAY"), specifically configured to meet Rontec's current and
future requirements. GemPAY will handle all major credit and debit
cards, as well as the latest derivatives of major UK and
international fuel cards, which will include Chip & PIN
security.
The GemPAY deployment will include a powerful Terminal
Management System ("TMS") that has been designed in partnership
with leading Fuel Card suppliers and Oil Companies. The TMS will
provide remote diagnostics, and the ability to upload and download
terminal configurations, parameters, libraries and applications,
thus ensuring maximum 'up time' for the terminal.
Stephen McLeod, CEO of HTEC, said, "We are delighted that Rontec
has chosen us as their service partner. We look forward to
supporting one of the UK's leading independent retailers and
continuing our long standing relationships with their client
sites."
Jan Bek, IT Manager of Rontec, said, "Ensuring our sites provide
a secure payment environment for our customers is of paramount
importance in the choice of partner for our future payment
solution. We chose HTEC based on their experience, capabilities and
reputation in the payment arena. We look forward to realising the
benefits of our enhanced relationship."
