Manhattan Associates, Verifone partner on POS, EMV

Atlanta – Manhattan Associates Inc. is entering a strategic alliance with Verifone that will offer retailers flexible and secure point of sale (POS) solutions as well as streamlined EMV migration. As part of the alliance, Verifone Point, which is built on Verifone’s Secure Commerce Architecture (SCA) will support Manhattan Associates’ POS solution.



SCA decouples payment data from the integrated POS and enables secure delivery of this data from the payment terminal directly to the processor’s secure host, without the data ever entering the register or any other PC-based POS system. Decoupling payment data from the integrated POS in such a way that EMV and PCI compliance is streamlined, risk of large-scale theft of consumer payment data is minimized and payment complexity is reduced.



SCA is the foundation for Verifone’s Commerce Enablement offerings, which will allow retailers to customize and personalize their sales environment and provide targeted advertising, digital loyalty, coupons, product offers, and identity services, such as beacons, at the payment terminal.



Additionally, Manhattan Associates’ solution will offer retailers certified integration with Verifone’s e355 mobile POS (mPOS) payment terminal and MX 900 series of multimedia, EMV and NFC-capable payment terminal solutions.
