Epson And Touch Dynamic Form Strategic Partnership To Transform Mobile POS

Joint Solution Gives Customers a More Engaging Mobile Shopping and Ordering Experience

Epson America, Inc., a leading supplier of value-added Point of Sale (POS) solutions, recently announced a partnership with Touch Dynamic, a leading manufacturer in all-in-one POS systems, to address the growing importance of mobile POS as the overall mobile expansion in retail and hospitality continues. By bundling Epson’s new ultra-compact Mobilink P20 receipt printer with Touch Dynamic’s new 7" and 10" Quest Tablets specifically designed for mobile POS, merchants can increase sales and improve customer service.

“Everyone with a mobile device has become accustomed to a more engaging shopping or food ordering experience,” said Tom Kettell, director of channel sales for Epson Business Solutions. “Retailers and hospitality providers must continue to enhance this experience through mobile POS hardware and devices that deliver new value-added services. Teaming up with Touch Dynamic, known for its unique and reliable solutions, provides merchants with the assurance to get the most out of their mobile POS systems and to meet demand for more personal service, faster transactions and greater convenience.”

“Mobile POS empowers staff to enhance customer service and boost business,” said Craig Partiz, president of Touch Dynamic. “But not all mobile devices are suited for heavy traffic and usage, such as in a retail or restaurant environment. Bundling Epson’s innovative, small, and light mobile POS printer with our retail-hardened rugged tablet that can withstand the most rigorous applications, offers our partners and their customers the best of both worlds.”
