Partnership Fuels Mobile Commerce Though
Conexxus Mobile Payment Standards
Verifone Systems, Inc. (NYSE: PAY) and P97 Networks, Inc. today
announced that P97’s PetroZone® Mobile Commerce and Digital
Marketing Platform has been certified to integrate with Verifone’s
cloud-based POS and site management software solutions—providing
gas stations and convenience stores a combined, fully integrated
solution for mobile payment acceptance in-store and at the
pump.
P97’s PetroZone solution provides merchants with a 360° mobile
marketing and commerce platform that supports mobile payments,
digital offers and customer rewards as well as integration with
loyalty hosts. With P97’s mobile payment processing application
(MPPA), which is based on the Conexxus Mobile standard, gas
stations and convenience stores can support “branded” mobile apps
that enable consumers to take advantage of loyalty programs,
discounts, and frequent shopper reward programs. P97’s mobile
payment applications provide consumers with an easy and fast
onboarding process, including the registration of payment
credentials and loyalty cards through an isolated and secure
channel connected to their mobile wallet, also called a “token
vault.” Integrating this tokenized mobile commerce platform with
Verifone’s solutions enables P97 to provide the highest level of
security and PCI compliance.
“Through our partnership with P97, our RubyCi and Commander Site
Controller clients can automatically connect to P97’s PetroZone
cloud services,” said Dan Yienger, Senior Vice President and
General Manager of Petroleum for Verifone. “This means that our
technology not only streamlines payments and operations management,
but also offers gas stations and convenience stores a fast-track to
introducing new mobile payment and digital marketing experiences
for their customers.”
The fastest site controller in the petro space, Commander Site
Controller is Verifone’s single site management software platform
that supports all petroleum and card brands, providing increased
speed in at-the-pump and in-store payment acceptance, fueling
operations and back office control. Its cloud-based software
management system—Commander Console—allows managers and owners to
manage all aspects of their business, including payment, in-store
and forecourt operations. RubyCi combines Commander Site Controller
with Ruby2, Verifone’s latest POS workstation featuring a
touch-screen console and multicore processor for fast, efficient
order taking and payment processing—all through a centralized
device that increases counter space for each work station.
“The ability to implement our mobile commerce platform through
Verifone’s solutions is a testament to the value of Verifone’s open
API,” said Donald Frieden, President and CEO at P97 and Vice-Chair
of the Conexxus Mobile Working Group. “Now, gas stations and
convenience stores using Verifone’s solutions can leverage the P97
platform to fast-track the introduction of new mobile payment and
digital marketing experiences for their customers.”
Conexxus addresses technology standards to improve business
processes, reduce costs and increase productivity for the
convenience and fuel retailing industry. At the intersection of the
convenience store industry and the payments industry, Conexxus
provides a voice. Conexxus leads the U.S. delegation for the
International Mobile Payments Specification (ISO 12812), which
provides a general framework for mobile payments and processes,
including tokenization to protect sensitive data.
“P97’s certification with Verifone is a perfect example of
Conexxus members collaborating together to develop and deliver new
mobile payment innovation based on industry standards for their
customers,” said Grey Taylor, Executive Director of Conexxus. “Both
of these companies have embraced the value of industry standards
and have worked closely with Conexxus to ensure the Mobile Payments
standard enables mobile commerce solutions that are easy to
deploy.”
