Atlanta, July 30, 2015 -- CompuSoluciones, a leading Mexican distributor of hardware and software solutions, has reached a distribution deal with Powa Technologies to distribute the PowaPOS T25 tablet POS hardware platform. With this move, the companies are poised to meet the accelerating demand for fixed, tablet-based point of sale terminals among Mexican retailers. The PowaPOS solution is now rolling out at Innovasport, one of Mexico’s leading sports retailers.

“With this commitment from CompuSoluciones, PowaPOS is ready to meet Mexico’s growing demand for powerful, out-of-the-box, tablet based payment solutions,” said Jeff Dumbrell, CEO, PowaPOS. “As PowaPOS rapidly expands its relationships with POS software developers who integrate their software with us through our advanced SDK, CompuSoluciones can support this growing community, as well as expand its offerings to its existing broad partner base."

CompuSoluciones supports Mexico’s public and private sectors through its extensive partner network, delivering hardware, software, training and maintenance services for a broad range of mobility, IT, security, cloud and networking solutions.

“The innovative PowaPOS platform is the ideal component to help us deliver complete, next generation POS solutions to our channel partners and their customers. We are seeing significant interest in tablet-based POS in Mexico because of its many advantages: affordability, scalability, and flexibility - allowing merchants to take advantage of the variety of powerful software applications available,” said Conrado Romero, Mobile Manager, CompuSoluciones. ”We are confident that, with PowaPOS, we are gaining a competitive advantage in the marketplace.”

PowaPOS is the first point of sale platform purpose built for tablet-based payments. Its fully integrated design rids merchants of the need for mismatched peripherals and provides industry-leading ease of set-up. Features include a built in thermal printer, 2D QR/barcode scanner, universal tablet mount, orientation sensor, as well as the optional PowaPOS Cash Drawer – all in a compact footprint and powered by a single cord. With its advanced SDK, PowaPOS is the only tablet-based platform to easily integrate with all POS software applications across all operating systems: iOS, Windows and Android, and provide merchants with the option to use their choice of payment processor. The PowaPOS SDK also supports third party payment devices, including NFC/Apple Pay devices, and enables instant integration with PowaTag.

Global response has been strong for PowaPOS’ unique combination of features, particularly among software developers who are able to easily integrate their POS applications and provide a complete, turnkey and professional solution to merchants across a wide range of industry sectors.

CompuSoluciones’ partner NEXTA, a Latin American mobile solution provider, recently implemented its PowaPOS solution at Innovasport, which has selected NEXTA to build its new mPOS platform featuring the PowaPOS T25 hardware. The NEXTA mPOS solution features include: payment transactions, product catalog access, product search, inventory control, and employee performance measurements. NEXTA and CompuSoluciones are working together to roll out the integrated PowaPOS solution into all 120 Innovasport locations across Mexico.

“Through the combination of PowaPOS’ next generation hardware, together with our advanced software, our customers can have all the power and sophistication of traditional POS hardware, at an affordable price, and without sacrificing performance,” said Baltazar Paredes, NEXTA CEO. “Not to mention, it just looks great too!”
