Diebold Nixdorf chooses Phos as resale partner for SoftPoS

Phos, the global leader in enterprise software point-of-sale (SoftPoS) orchestration, today announced that enterprise merchants can now add SoftPoS as an option to their existing payment receipt solution.

This new and innovative functionality is the result of a partnership with Diebold Nixdorf – a global leader in automating, digitizing and transforming the way people bank and shop. The solution will enable merchants to expand the number of payment acceptance points without the traditional expense of payment hardware and is also acquirer agnostic, allowing Diebold Nixdorf to launch the solution for any existing acquirer that their retail customers use.

Leveraging phos’ experience in completing acquirer integrations will ensure merchants can easily and seamlessly accept card and digital wallet payments directly on any NFC-enabled smartphone or tablet, in a secure and contactless manner.

The solution will be showcased on mobile devices for staff travel by Diebold Nixdorf at NRF 2023: Retail’s Big Show in New York, and EuroShop 2023 in Düsseldorf.

Brad Hyett, CEO of phos, said: “Through our partnership with Diebold Nixdorf, we set out to help merchants capitalize on the opportunity to expand their payment acceptance points. SoftPoS solutions continue to innovate the payment landscape, and this announcement is a clear demonstration of its use at scale. Diebold Nixdorf is at the heart of global retail globally, and with our future-proof technology, we hope to continue to meet the unique challenges across all retail segments and industries.

Ben Gale, Senior Vice President, EMEA APAC and Global Accounts, added: “Enterprise retail continues to gain momentum as more customers look for preferred payment methods that work for them. We are excited to partner with phos to help more people get the benefits of SoftPoS solutions. We already have thousands of users leveraging POS, which are now owned by shoppers. Enabling phos to remain a shopper-agnostic solution will further drive adoption as we aim to enable retailers to deliver relevant journeys such as queue stopping or assisted sales for today’s retail environment.”

Phos currently has 14 certified buyer connections, as fintech continues to expand globally. It plans to grow this number exponentially to meet the needs of tier-one suppliers and demands across international markets. Additional procurement certifications are currently underway and will be announced in the New Year.

The latest collaboration with Diebold Nixdorf comes amid growing market interest in SoftPoS and Tap-to-Pay technology, with consumer tech giant Apple announcing it would enable third-party SoftPoS vendors to deploy their technology on iOS devices earlier this year.
