Kerridge Commercial Systems, leading provider of advanced software solutions for distributors, wholesalers and merchants, today announced a formal strategic partnership with Retail Logic, Europe's number one supplier of card processing software.
(June 2004) The alliance strengthens Kerridge Commercial Systems' product offering with the addition of Retail Logic's Electronic Funds Transfer, Chip & PIN and purchasing card software. In turn, Kerridge Commercial Systems supplies Retail Logic with an in-road to the distribution and trade counter market that it currently dominates. Initial efforts will concentrate on the introduction of Visa's VGIS purchasing card technology.
"The combination of Retail Logic's products, and our fully integrated K8 solution, will add functionality and increase security for our customers," says Ian Bendelow, Business Development Director, Kerridge Commercial Systems. "Following an exhaustive evaluation of suppliers, Retail Logic was the obvious choice. Its Solve/SE software has become the UK's de facto card processing standard; the company dominates the Chip & PIN market and is now speeding the uptake of purchasing cards."
"This alliance is a
key strategic move for Retail Logic," adds Tim Stratton, Managing
Director, Retail Logic. "Kerridge Commercial Systems has unrivalled
knowledge of the distribution and trade counter market and is the
perfect partner to help us move further into this market. But more
importantly, Kerridge Commercial Systems' customers can now benefit from
Retail Logic's products and card payment expertise."
