A Thing It's Everywhere


It's Everywhere

It's everywhere- the grocery store, the video store, the pharmacy. . . you
cannot escape it. No, it's not the ubiquitous Internet, it's the VeriFone Omni 3200.

The Omni 3200 was introduced in January of last year and sales passed the 100,000 unit mark this past August. This makes the Omni 3200 the fastest selling POS in VeriFone's history. Yes, even faster than the treasured Tranz models. We've seen a huge demand for the Omni 3200 terminals, said Paul R. Garcia, chief executive officer at NDC eCommerce. They're easy to sell to merchants because they make the transaction process so simple with the ATM-style graphical interface and SoftPay software.

There may be a few reasons for the Omni's success. First, the installation: plug it into an outlet and connect the phone line. If you're thinking "Sure, but what about the printer"-it's covered. The thermal printer is integrated-no cables.

Simplified training and maintenance might be another reason. "The easy to use ATM style interface has helped reduce our training and lower calls to the help desk," said Mark Pyke, executive vice president at NPC. Paper jams are less likely since there is no ribbon.

Finally, it might be the software that is fueling the rapid sales. SoftPay allows merchants to customize payment requirements to their needs. Merchants can choose from more than 100 configurable software options." We can customize the SoftPay software to meet our merchants' needs, and the integrated parts of the Omni 3200 mean less breakage and repair," said Pyke.
