MA Emirates Group, a provider of cutting edge technology
devices for the payment industry, has partnered with Karma
Technology, a payment and business solutions software
provider in Dubai and successfully completed a safe and seamless
mobile payment solution across all 15 Maison BMore outlets.
The multi fashion brand stores in the UAE now has a new deployment
that allows sales staff to run the fully customised ECR application
in the palm of their hands and enriches the customer experience.
Payments can now be processed anywhere within the store and also
fulfils the company’s requirement for smart payment devices which
accept multiple modes of payment including Smart EMV, Magstripe
and NFC/Contactless.
This enhances the customer and merchant experience through ease
of usage, safety, security and is a convenient way of transacting.
Designed for mobility, the pocket sized Ingenico iSMP terminals
supplied by OMA Emirates and implemented by Karma Technology
are lightweight and allows ease of movements within the stores.
It will lend itself significantly to build on customer interaction
capabilities, control inventory management and delivery. Besides, it
allows customers to avoid long payment queues.
Compatible with iPhone, the new solution integrates between the iSMP
application and Karma Technology’s iOS merchant application and
payment gateway, connected to a proprietary ERP system developed
to automate the company’s retail operations.
The sturdy barcode reader provides the fast-paced retail demands
with rapid scanning of multiple items from a variety of angles and
is capable of validating loyalty cards as well as QR codes. More
importantly, the long-lasting lithium-ion batteries support the usage
for longer periods.
“Today’s market is all about innovations and technology and retail
brands such as Maison BMore are looking at new secure, convenient
and smart ways of accepting customer payments. We are extremely
privileged to supply a Mobile Point of Sale (mPOS) device for an
organisation that is focused on raising its customer services and
experience. The customised application and the advanced iSMP
terminals will add value and innovation within the stores,” said Niranj
Sangal, Group CEO, OMA Emirates.
