For a single till merchant‚ the POS deployment is relatively simple. It is generally a dial up POS deployed at the merchant location and deployment will generally be the following process:

In big–box retailers‚ retail chains and corporate merchant establishment the process can be more involved due to the fact that the retailer is integrated‚ has in–store infrastructure to which the EFT–POS needs to be integrated etc. In such cases there is an involved process of business definition and user requirements‚ development‚ testing and then go–live in a pilot store(s). Nation–wide deployment follows only when the pilot stores are stabilized.

Prizm Payments has deployed EFT–POS terminals in various merchant establishment scenarios and are explained below:

I–POS

I–POS means Integrated POS – in which Prizm Payments Projects Teams will interface the EFT–POS terminal into the retail POS environment of the store. For example big stores use Micros‚ Retalics etc. for store automation. For payment related services‚ these store automation systems need integration with the EFT–POS terminal and Prizm Payments will do this. Over the years‚ Prizm Payments has worked with most of the industry standard store automation software available in India.

E–POS

E–POS is also known in the market as PC–POS where a PC is used as a POS device

M–POS

A growing market is the home delivery segment and hence there is a big demand for Mobile POS services. Prizm Payments has several examples of deployment of a Mobile POS for Eureka Forbes‚ Dominoes Pizza etc. This is possible since Prizm Payments supports various types of telecommunication support for the POS e.g. dial–up‚ GPRS‚ CDMA and 3G.
