It will allow vendors to select the apps that are useful to their daily activity before, during or after the sale. Apps will include payment, smart till, management and global management of omnichannel activity, customer loyalty programs and satisfaction questionnaires.
Natixis Payment Solutions combines the app with smartPOS provided by AEVI, a ‘face-to-face’ payment transaction solutions provider.
AEVI’s smartPOS will also allow merchants to keep track of inventory and collect payments using contact or contactless cards, or mobile phones.
Natixis said that the basic apps – payment, smart till, customer satisfaction levels and split bill – will be tested over the next four months.
