Sophatar announces ProxiPay to reduce self-service kiosk hardware costs by 5x or more
Summary
ProxiPay is targeted to retail, hospitality and amusement industries to enable quick purchase and skip-the-line applications. Bart DeCanne, founder of Sophatar says: “We are delighted to bring a SaaS solution to market to lower the hardware cost of self-service kiosks by, we estimate, at least 5x since we can use a standard media player, a standard non-touch signage display and a detached payment terminal. The software architecture ensures card sensitive data is never exposed outside the payment terminal, avoiding the need for PCI certification of the rest of the system. ProxiPay fits in any scenario where you want to quickly order from a limited set of products or services, such as at QSR restaurants, to order featured products at a retailer, or for skip-the-line check-in or purchase.” ProxiPay will be on display for the first time at Sophatar booth# 3014 at the Digital Signage Expo, April 1 & 2 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The first implementation runs on a BrightSign media player that controls both large-screen digital signage and the payment terminal.
