Currently in Venezuela there are 400.590 POS, which are installed in 326.714 affiliated stores, according to the most recent publication of the Central Bank of Venezuela, of October 2015. In relation to 2014, that number represented a growth of 3%.
Pointing to a bigger expansion of the Venezuelan economy in the coming years, Inteligensa is working day by day to face the new technological challenges in the Venezuelan market, in order to achieve a contribution that effectively satisfies the current demand. In that sense, nowadays Inteligensa is focused on the implementation of MPOS to serve a market segment that so far hadn´t been sufficiently addressed, due to the size of the business and its accessibility to connections with its issuing banks.
This is a great opportunity for small businesses and retailers, which so far didn´t accepted payment with card and made their transactions by cash and invoices, to adopt solutions of MPOS in order to expand its sales and customer bases as well as to positively contribute to the economy of the country.
Some of the main benefits of this technology are its size and mobility. The size of a MPOS is much smaller than the traditional one and it can be connected to a mobile device via bluetooth or to a mobile phone, working with the appropriate application. The chip card is swiped or introduced into the slot of the device attached. Then the amount to be paid is registered and in the case of a credit card, the customer signs in the screen, or introduces his/her PIN if it´s a debit card and finally the proof of payment is not printed, it is sent by email or text message.
The development of solutions based on this innovative technology is also a great opportunity to Inteligensa of contributing to the progress of means of payments, particularly for the Venezuelan market and the Latin American in general. In that regard, Inteligensa has a group of experts and technical resources highly trained, which works every day with enthusiasm and professionalism in order to offer its customers the best products and services with advanced technology.
