Two retailers comment on the successful implementation of integrated payment processing services
YESpay International in partnership with Itim, has added Trago Mills and The Entertainer amongst many other major High Street retailers, to its managed card payment service leading to significant reduction in costs and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance.
Historically these retailers have had their own in-house card payment solution, before PCI DSS and Europay, Visa and MasterCard (EMV) chip and PIN standards were mandated by their card acquirers.
Trago Mills and The Entertainer, among other major retailers, have switched to the YESpay EMBOSS card payment service in order to achieve significant capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational cost reductions of up to 40% and also to minimise PCI DSS compliance risk.
Mick Parker, head of IT at Trago Mills, commented: “The YESpay managed card payment service system has been excellent. There has been 100% availability of the service for over 200 days since YESpay introduced its latest multi-data centre, cloud computing-based card payment service architecture.”
Improved costs and savings
Boris Hurinek, Itim’s head of development and support services, added: “The improvements resulting from the cloud computing-based card payment service introduced by YESpay are clearly visible internally at Itim and our mutual customers. The YESpay solution has the added advantage of being very simple to implement, significantly reducing the effort compared with other solutions, therefore improving the retailer’s project costs and timescales. In one case, Itim were able to achieve go live for a particular retailer in two weeks from a standing start. Ongoing support is also streamlined through YESpay’s 24-hour helpdesk.”
Ian Pulsford, head of IT at The Entertainer, was very complimentary about YESpay at the Itim customer day. Pulsford said: “At the recent ‘Christmas Peak Trading Feedback’ session with senior store managers, it was nice from an IT perspective to be praised for payment service speed and availability at the stores during peak Christmas trading.”
“We have many thousands of top, mid and small-tier retailers migrated to our very cost-efficient and 99.99% available card payment service throughout Europe and North America,” said Nigel Exton, senior vice president of operations and client services for YESpay globally.
