ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 5, 2014--
Elavon, a leading global payment solution provider and subsidiary of
U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB), is providing its restaurant and retail
business clients with an easy to use and affordable tablet-based-point
of sale platform that leverages smart data to effectively manage and
grow their business. This unique solution pairs Elavon’s strength in
payments and loyalty solutions, seamlessly delivered on a tablet-based
platform powered by talech, a fast-growing Silicon Valley-based company.
Elavon’s product development and innovation center, The Grove, has built
upon the mobile solution delivered earlier with talech, enriching it
even further with Fanfare, an easy-to-use loyalty and gift card solution
delivering rewards to patrons of small to mid-sized businesses right at
the point-of-sale. The solution is designed for small and medium
businesses that aspire to grow their business, reduce their costs and
operate more efficiently.
This powerful combination makes the era of Big Data accessible and
relevant for small to mid-sized businesses, enabling them to compete
effectively against the marketing and operational might of much larger
scale chains. The simple and intuitive interface puts data-driven
insights right at the fingertips of any business owner. In just a few
taps, users have the ability to take orders, manage inventory, access
customer information and view daily reports in real time. With the
integration of the Fanfare loyalty, gift and offers program to the
talech app, businesses now have easy access to Fanfare’s data-rich
dashboard to quickly target consumers with offers and promotional
campaigns that bring in new customers and drive additional sales and
revenue.
As the payment industry rapidly evolves, Elavon’s steadfast commitment
to customers continues with ongoing investment in both solutions and
alliances that deliver practical advantages for small to medium
businesses. “Our focus on innovation and partnership with talech
benefits customers by providing new tools that help them achieve their
growth goals while saving time and money,” said Guy Harris, president of
North America at Elavon. “Our Fanfare customer loyalty program is
another opportunity for us to give businesses more tools to better serve
their customers.”
"We're pleased to expand our partnership with Elavon by providing even
more affordable tools for small and medium businesses. With talech, the
corner store can know so much more about operating their business more
efficiently. We think of this as the small data opportunity," said Irv
Henderson, chief executive officer of talech.
