“Our entry into sports and entertainment marks an exciting new
chapter for First Data and demonstrates the power and flexibility
of the Clover platform,” said Dan Charron, Executive Vice
President, Head of Global Business Solutions, First Data. “Bypass
has been a terrific partner in this effort, providing First Data
with software and market expertise to help Clover evolve into a
fully integrated solution for concerts, major sporting events, and
more.”
The integration of Clover with Bypass creates a holistic POS
system for chain restaurants, food and beverage providers, sports
venues, and other complex multi-site operations. The solution has
already come to life with full implementations at a sold-out
concert for one of the biggest pop musicians in the world, an
airshow with more than 400,000 attendees, and at an upcoming major
soccer match.
Bypass CEO Brandon Lloyd noted, “First Data is a great partner.
Our solutions integrate seamlessly and provide a complete offering
for companies looking to modernize and secure commerce.”
Businesses will benefit from First Data’s Clover platform, which
includes Clover® Insights, a data analytics tool that transforms
transaction data into actionable insights, and TransArmor®, First
Data’s powerful payment security solution that combines encryption
with tokenization to protect businesses from data breaches.
Additionally, all Clover devices are EMV-ready and accept most
forms of payment, making them “future proof” as payment options
evolve.
Bypass was created to serve the unique needs of multi-site food
and beverage commerce on an agile, robust, cloud-based platform.
The company offers a simple, intuitive POS interface and a variety
of back office management tools for inventory, transaction
reconciliation, labor, and insights. Their customers benefit from
accelerated guest service and training times, along with easy
discovery of cost saving and revenue improvement opportunities.
Bypass’s work with First Data further enhances the value Bypass can
deliver.
