AnywhereCommerce Complements Mobile POS Offering With Epson

On-Demand Smartphone Checkout Solutions Offer Mobile and Wireless Printing from Epson

Recently at the Electronics Transactions Association (ETA) Conference, AnywhereCommerce, a leading global e-commerce and m-commerce payments solution provider, announced the availability of on-demand checkout solutions which allow retailers to convert smartphones into mobile point of sale (POS) terminals, complete with mobile and wireless printing solutions from Epson. The AnywhereCommerce solution includes Nomad, Rover or Rambler packaged with today's most popular handheld devices, such as iPador iPhone and wireless and mobile printers from Epson, including its best-selling TM-T88V, compact TM-T70 and Mobilink belt clip printers. The AnywhereCommerce solution comes with everything merchants need to enhance customer service while mobilizing the entire checkout process, from payment processing to receipt printing, at a fraction of the cost associated with traditional POS equipment.

"Our solutions allow retailers to create a faster checkout by extending traditional lanes to anywhere throughout the store," commented Mitchell Cobrin, CEO of AnywhereCommerce. "Together with mobile and wireless printers from Epson, AnywhereCommerce unshackles retail clerks and enables them to become integral 'closers' in the transaction. Our suite is also ideal for field-based merchants, such as farmer's markets, taxis as well as delivery and repair service businesses.  The mobile pay register has unlimited potential, and is beginning to change the face of the retail POS experience".    

"Merchants are looking for flexible and mobile technology solutions that better serve customers whenever and wherever they happen to be," said Mike Helm, director of sales for Epson's Business Systems Division. "With industry-leading solutions from Epson, AnywhereCommerce enhances its mobile checkout and allows the receipt to follow the transaction, anywhere it occurs."
