Ruby™ Terminals

IP-based Transaction Processing for Ruby™ Terminals

Challenge

Within the convenience store/petroleum retail market, the ubiquitous Verifone Ruby™ terminal can integrate point-of-sale with scanners, car wash controllers, tank level monitors and more. It is indispensable in helping retailers operate their stores. What it doesn't do is enable you to transmit payments via the Internet for faster, cheaper transaction processing.

Solution

Precidia's access devices, together with NetVu provide a cost-effective, actively managed IP option for existing Ruby™ systems. Seamlessly converting serial-based transaction data to IP products, such as the POSLynx220 enable merchants to eliminate dedicated dial lines and modem costs while decreasing transaction times from an average of 12-20 seconds to between 4-6 seconds.

Merchants who have a private broadband network and require a one port Ruby™ connectivity solution can take advantage of the iPOS™, a compact, cost effective IP adapter for existing POS terminals.

With NetVu network configuration manager, remote deployment and management is simple - there are no additional hardware, software or training requirements. Retailers also gain a host of new features, including log and status pages that simplify daily reconciliation and equipment diagnostics.
