Elo Touch Solutions | January 09, 2024
Elo, a global leader in point-of-sale technology, is excited to unveil Elo Pay and the accompanying Elo Pay 7" Integrated Payment POS Terminal. Designed for merchants of all sizes, the new system delivers fast, secure, scalable payment services, allowing it to grow as your business expands.
Elo Pay is a comprehensive payment service that supports merchants in accepting transactions with confidence. With features including end-to-end encryption, secure tokenization, robust Terminal Management Services (TMS), and Remote Key Injection (RKI), the Elo Pay platform is compatible with multiple payment providers to provide maximum security while processing payments.
The Elo Pay system has been designed for all types of businesses. The solution provides merchants with four options to begin processing payments. First, Elo Pay Link enables merchants to utilize APIs to integrate their software with Elo's payment hardware. Elo Pay Link+ takes this further, providing a semi-integrated solution that supports acquisition between merchants and their chosen card networks such as Visa and Mastercard. Elo Pay TMS supports the management and monitoring of Elo payment devices, while Elo Pay RKI allows for the encryption keys to be securely injected into payment terminals remotely.
Strengthening the Elo Pay system is the new Elo Pay 7" Integrated Payment POS Terminal. The fully integrated and compact, enterprise-grade terminal is complete with a 7-inch touch display, flexible Android 12 OS, and Qualcomm SD660 processor. Embracing Elo's modular approach, the terminal can be deployed in multiple ways, from a stand-alone payment terminal to the computer fully powering an entire point-of-sale system.
The highly versatile terminal can be docked to an optional printer stand, placed remotely on a counter, or fully integrated into the Elo Z70 stand to form a complete system with the 7" screen facing the customer and a standard Elo monitor facing employees. The Elo Pay 7" can accept all forms of card payment, including physical cards, contactless mobile phone payments, and merchant gift cards, depending on the payment processor and acquiror selected by the merchant. The Elo Pay 7" integrated POS system has been designed to simplify the payment process, improve user experience, and maintain payment security.
Merchants will be able to deploy and manage their entire network of Elo Pay devices, thanks to EloView. The award-winning EloView allows users to deploy content and provision Elo Android-based devices in seconds, creating a seamless experience that will transform operations. Further peace of mind comes from Elo EssentialEdge, which ensures businesses can continue to deliver the convenience and familiarity of Android interfaces through monthly security updates, and Elo Care, which provides advance unit replacement, accidental damage protection, and extended warranty.
The Elo Pay 7" POS solution will be on display later this month when Elo heads to the National Retail Federation Expo 2024. The conference will see thousands of brands come together for three days of learning, collaboration, and discovery. Visitors will be able to find Elo at booth #5803.
"We know how important it is for merchants to have fast, reliable payment solutions. That is why we have developed Elo Pay and the accompanying Elo Pay 7" POS solution," said Craig Witsoe, CEO at Elo. "When combined together, it can help to transform a business's entire payment process, delivering rapid and secure transactions every time. It is also fully scalable, allowing merchants to easily increase their units as their operations grow."
Elo Pay Link is available today. Elo Pay Link+ and Elo Pay TMS are now in beta and available for integration. Elo Pay 7" is ready for integration starting today, with mass production scheduled to begin this spring. Elo Pay RKI will also be available this spring.

Agilysys | January 23, 2024
Agilysys, Inc., a leading global provider of hospitality software solutions and services, announced it is providing on-site premier support for the InfoGenesis point-of-sale (POS) system at Melbourne & Olympic Parks to ensure the 900,000-plus people expected to attend the 2024 Australian Open enjoy their food and beverage experiences.
As host to a variety of popular sports and entertainment events throughout the year, and as one of the largest and most diverse multi-purpose sporting, entertainment, conference and community precincts in Australia, Melbourne & Olympic Parks holds claim to the Australian Open, the first of four Grand Slam level tennis tournaments held each season. With more than 900,000 people expected to attend the 2024 tournament, the venue requires a fast, robust and reliable POS system to smoothly manage the high volume of orders and transactions and to ensure an exceptional fan experience at every interaction.
To prepare for delivering exceptional service to Australian Open fans, hundreds of InfoGenesis POS terminals are strategically placed in concession stands throughout the venue to shorten lines and wait times. With an increased focus on the convenience of mobile concession ordering and delivery and the security of contactless payments, Agilysys’ IG OnDemand solution has been made available so fans can use their mobile devices to place and receive orders wherever they are around the 40-hectare venue, and for the venue to accept and track cashless transactions. In addition, Agilysys POS experts and service teams are on-site throughout the two-week-long Australian Open to provide instant assistance and ensure optimal system efficiency and performance under heightened demand.
"Augmenting support during times of intensified system demand, such as what occurs during high-attendance events, is just one way we demonstrate our Serious About Service commitment,” said Agilysys Vice President of Client Services for APAC Ajoy Meenakshisundaram.
Meenakshisundaram added, “By delivering system implementation, performance optimization and signature service directly, rather than outsourcing to others, we gain deep insights into how our customers operate and their unique requirements, especially in times of peak demand. World-class venues like Melbourne & Olympic Parks count on innovative solutions such as InfoGenesis tailored to meet their unique fan experience requirements and delivered by a global trusted advisor focused on hospitality-driven businesses.”
