news Enhancing customer experiences with point of sale terminals The Tango Series of POS terminals inspires businesses to explore new opportunities and embrace the change of new technologies. The modern, harmonious industrial design, which was recognised by international judges with the Computex D&I award, fits into any retail, hospitality, or point of service environment. Innovative and flexible features, like the flip-over design, and widescreen touch display, redefine how retailers can enhance their retail practices, reducing friction and enhancing the customer experience. The bi- directional rotatable display makes it easy for employees to quickly show digital content to customers, allowing customers to take actions in real- time, e.g. enter passwords, capture signatures or confirm decisions. The display further increases marketing initiatives by allowing customer- focused, personalised promotions and services. DataVan Tango terminals support fast, safe, and secure payment technologies with EMV encryption, allowing both contact and contactless card payment. The integrated 2D barcode scanner can accept third- party payment via QR codes, enabling the acquisition of e-coupons/e-tickets right from a customers’ smartphone screens, or enhances integration with loyalty programs. A unified touchscreen user- interface across devices cuts staff training expenses and reduces the chance of errors. The modular design allows Tango terminals to adapt to customer needs by adding or removing functions as required, thanks to modules such as secure payment, customer display, barcode reading, and management. Optional hardware features include a 10in secondary LCD or VFD customer display; and identification via fingerprint, RFID or iButton. The Tango Pay contactless reader can support MSR and EMV SCR, with EMV level 1/2 approval – ensuring fast, safe and secure payments.
