Precidia's advanced IP technology seamlessly migrates retail payment terminals and other equipment onto more sophisticated IP networks. Precidia's unique product line consists of cost- effective access devices, both wired and wireless, and chip technology.
Chapters, Canadas largest book retailer, was looking for a cost-effective solution that would allow them to lower communications costs. They already used an IP network that offered a lower rate than the existing Datapac network.
Precidias POS positioned product - the Ether3201 met the exacting standards expected by Chapters. The initial field trials held during the busy holiday season proved the solution was not only cost-effective, but simple to install and easy to maintain. In January 2001, Chapters announced the installation of Precidias devices in all 77 of their flagship stores.
'Precidia's solution has allowed Chapters to realize substantial cost savings, ' said Tony D'Alessandro, Director of Systems Development, Chapters Inc. 'By bringing our transactions onto one IP network, we have eliminated the need for a separate data line. The solution is transparent to our existing network, and not only performed smoothly in the first months after installation, but continued to operate flawlessly in the peak retail months of November and December.'
