ParTech, Inc. (PAR), a subsidiary of PAR Technology Corporation recently announced that PAR Solutions Partner Essential Systems Solutions has won VSR’s 2014 Innovative Solution Award for the Most Innovative Point-of-Sale category.

With the Innovative Solution Awards, VSR (Vertical Systems Reseller) and RSPA (Retail Solutions Providers Association) recognize those who create cutting-edge and revolutionary solutions in six categories.

Essential customized PAR’s PixelPoint and the EverServ500 terminals at Salon Centric’s (division of L'Oreal) Trade Shows as merchandise POS terminals for each exhibitor.
