Toshiba to ISVs: RSVP

Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions (Research Triangle Park, NC) has expanded its channel efforts with an ISV Partner Program added to its Global Alliance Program. In order to qualify, prospects should "develop or own the marketing rights to one or more point-of-sale or self-service software applications, have a validated deployment with a point-of-sale or self-service hardware solution by Toshiba, and promote Toshiba as their partner," specifies its application process. As benefits, partners receive support for engineering, training, and sales and marketing.

Epson Lines Up

Epson America (Los Alamitos, CA) has unwrapped its new liner-free thermal label printer, designated the OmniLink TM-L100. In dimensions of 5.5"/140 mm (W) x 5.8"/148 mm (D) x 8.1"/207 mm (H), weighing 3.5 lbs./1.9 kg, the OmniLink TM-L100 accommodates common media widths of 1.6"/40 mm, 2.3"/58 mm, and 3.1"/80 mm (and the range of repositionable to high-adhesive labels). It features maximum print speed of 6.7"/170 mm per second at resolution of 203 dpi.

As benefits, in addition to label-taken sensor and paper-saving functionality, the OmniLink TM-L100 has reengineered auto-cutter, improved platen roller, and redesigned paper path. With expanded support for iOS and Android, and easy pairing via NFC, the OmniLink TM-L100 offers connectivity choices of USB, Ethernet, Serial, Bluetooth, and WLAN. As e-commerce and online ordering continues to climb, the OmniLink TM-L100 can retrieve orders from web servers and print from web-based applications utilizing Server Direct Print.

"The retail and hospitality industries have changed dramatically in the last two years, but one thing remains the same--customers expect seamless purchasing experiences," observed David Vander Dussen, Product Manager, Business Systems, Epson America. "With the increase of digital orders and delivery, the new OmniLink TM-L100 offers businesses our broadest media support available for liner-free thermal label printing. Its advanced functionality and flexible connectivity also help merchants improve order accuracy, increase labor efficiency, and streamline workflows to help ensure customer satisfaction."

Bixolon: Adding "R" to 4"

Bixolon America (Gardena, CA) has unveiled its new mobile thermal printer with maximum print width of 4"/104 mm and capacity for UHF RFID, stocked as the Model XM7-40R. In form factor of 6.2"/158 mm (W) x 7.3"/186 mm (L) x 3.2"/88 mm (H), weighing 2.4 lbs./1.1 kg, the XM7-40R features maximum print speed of 5"/127 mm per second at resolution of 203 dpi.

XTM x 20

XTM, Inc. (Miami, FL and Toronto, ON, Canada) has integrated its employee payments platform with 20 restaurant systems for time and attendance and POS. It hasn't identified its new partners, except in the case of Lightspeed POS, but many other names may be surmised. As its flagship solution, XTM offers XTM Today, which comprises free mobile app and Visa or Mastercard. It has added Apple Pay and Google Pay.

"With this advancement of one integration to multiple POS systems, we have opened up the potential of several systems into a centralized data model," elaborated Chad Arthur, CTO of XTM. "With this move, we've eliminated weeks and weeks of integration that would be required to finalize access to just a single POS platform. We look forward to reaping the benefits of this acceleration, eliminating several months of R&D."

Earlier, XTM announced roll-out of 100,00 mobile wallets and virtual debit cards for hospitality in the U.S. Via an unidentified partner, XTM extends its offering to W2 Wage and Tax Statements. "This is an example of our pursuit of partnerships that are complementary to the existing suite of XTM Today, including U.S. and Canada payroll services, compliance, and employee onboarding," explained Marilyn Schaffer, CEO of XTM. "This roll-out, with our licensed partner currently executing payroll, accelerates our market penetration in the U.S."

Zebra Enters the Matrox

As another step into the brave new world of machine vision, Zebra Technologies Corporation (Lincolnshire, IL) has snapped up Matrox Imaging (Montreal, QC, Canada). As products, Matrox supplies its platform software, Software Development Kits (SDKs), smart cameras, 3D sensors, vision controllers, frame grabbers, and input/output (I/O) cards. Last year, readers may recall, Zebra introduced its fixed industrial scanning and machine vision portfolio, and also acquired two players in the discipline, Adaptive Vision (Gliwice, Poland) and Fetch Robotics (San Jose, CA).

Zebra expects to fund the $875 million purchase price with a combination of cash on hand along with fully committed financing under its credit facility. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval, and is expected to close in 2022. Matrox Imaging generates annual sales of approximately $100 million with a higher profit margin profile than Zebra.

"Customers are increasingly deploying automated solutions to augment their front-line workers, enabling them to focus on more complex, higher value workflows, and machine vision is a key technology to help them get there," expressed Anders Gustafsson, CEO of Zebra Technologies. "This acquisition enables us to meet our customers' evolving needs, regardless of where they are on their automation journey--from capturing and analyzing data to facilitate decision-making, to deploying physical automation solutions to accelerate the production and movement of goods and materials. We are excited to welcome the Matrox Imaging team to the Zebra family."

Code Corner

Local Express (Glendale, CA) has released its new app for self-service, its "Scan, Pay & Go." It may be deployed as a standalone product or integrated with the base commerce platform of Local Express (the company's full Software-as-a-Service). With contactless transactions, it adds personalization in the form of on-demand nutritional information and product suggestions. With multiple language support and scalability, it follows the recent roll-out of the Local Express Kiosk. "With Scan, Pay & Go, Local Express now provides a full suite of tools to help small- and medium-sized independent grocers with the technology needed to serve today's increasingly savvy shoppers," stated Bagrat Safarian, CEO at Local Express. "It helps make these community-based and regional retailers more competitive with larger companies."

Local Express Scan, Pay & Go App

Wiser Systems (Raleigh, NC) has released its new enterprise software, an Accurate Tracking & Locating Asset Solution, called ATLAS. It utilizes Ultra-Wideband Wireless (UWB) to locate, identify, and track assets in real-time in industrial environments. A mobile/desktop app allows end-users to view all tags as they move throughout the "mesh" of this Real-Time Location System (RTLS), at sub-meter or inch-level. The system is lightweight and portable and can be deployed in minutes, according to Wiser Systems. "Our system is simple to install and provides accuracy even in highly reflective industrial and metal-heavy environments, unlike anything available on the market today," stated Mark Dirks, CRO at Wiser Systems. "Other systems require a substantial number of additional antennas, hours of installation, and regular infrastructure maintenance, which until now has made real-time autonomous tracking in these high-density locations prohibitively expensive."

Wiser Real-Time Location System: ATLAS

Socket Mobile (Newark, CA) has released its expanded CaptureSDK (Software Development Kit), for data collection with barcode scanners, now with support for Flutter. An open-source framework, created by Google, Flutter allows developers to build natively compiled, multi-platform applications from one database. It is engineered to deploy from mobile, desktop, web, and embedded devices, and has gained popularity. In one recent survey, 500,000 developers report usage monthly. In addition to Flutter, CaptureSDK supports Native iOS, Android, Windows, C# (Xamarin), React Native, Java, and JavaScript. "Our goal is to remove complexities that come with integrating data capture into apps," stated Dave Holmes, Chief Business Officer at Socket Mobile. "We work to ensure our app partners have all the necessary tools to make their apps more valuable to their end-users."

Hearing From Diebold Nixdorf

A new retail software platform, entitled Vynamic, has been launched by Diebold Nixdorf (Hudson, OH). A cloud-native architecture and Application Programming Interface (API)-first design environment serve as differentiating benefits, according to the longtime player in POS and ATMs. As an omnichannel solution--addressing physical and digital--it spans "customer journeys, stores, and back-office operations."

Vynamic Retail Platform offers modular microservices that give the retailer various deployment choices. In checkout, there's Vynamic GRx for Grocery, Vynamic SFx for Specialty and Fashion, and Vynamic FCx for Fuel and Convenience. Vynamic Engage has modules of Loyalty Management, Promotions and Campaigns, and Customer Rewards. A Vynamic Retail Management includes Inventory, Online Order Fulfillment, and POS. Finally, Vynamic CPaaS, for "Country Package-as-a-Service," tracks the latest legal and fiscal regulations for 60 countries.

"Rather than 'cloudifying' our current solutions, we built a new cloud-native software platform from scratch," enthused Bernd Kraus, SVP of Retail Software at Diebold Nixdorf. "We believe this is the only way to achieve true scalability, security, and performance in the cloud. Hosted 'as-a-service' and leveraging open APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), Vynamic Retail Platform is the best cloud solution in the market to support connected, flexible, and efficient shopping experiences for retail customers." (FYI: It complements an earlier Vynamic Banking Platform offered by Diebold Nixdorf.)

GreenBox Bulks Up

GreenBox POS (San Diego, CA) now offers its merchants cost-saving bulk processing for ACH (Automatic Clearing House). Established in 2007, GreenBox POS employs its proprietary blockchain technology to build customized payment solutions. Since the new ACH program's start, its clients have committed to over $50 million in monthly processing of credit and debit ACH, according to GreenBox POS.

"ACH bulk processing offers a new, profitable, multi-million-dollar revenue stream for GreenBox," indicated Fredi Nissan, CEO of GreenBox POS. "Our clients have long been demanding it and now we can offer it with our superb technology. This is yet another example of GreenBox delivering against our strategic plan to continue providing meaningful value to our shareholders and customers alike."

In February, GreenBox POS named Min Wei as its new COO. Previously, he served as SVP, Chief Customer Officer, at Cubic Corporation. In his remarks, CEO Nissan praised Wei's "cross functional management experience in finance, programs, global services and operations, data analytics, quality, and compliance." (FYI: Vanessa Luna, the former COO, has been shifted to the role of SVP of Global Sales Operations.)

Seeking the SAFR SCAN

A new player for our channel, RealNetworks (Seattle, WA), has presented its complete biometric access control system, dubbed SAFR SCAN. It includes software and hardware, and has been designed for use in both indoor and outdoor environments. "We've built SAFR SCAN to integrate seamlessly into a wide variety of access control environments to create a compelling, reliable, and contactless alternative that's better and more secure than traditional methods like key cards," espoused Brad Donaldson, VP of Computer Vision, SAFR, at RealNetworks. A move into hardware is new for RealNetworks.

A standalone or networked solution, SAFR SCAN delivers frictionless throughput capable of authenticating up to 30 individuals per minute. To ensure personnel privacy, all enrolled and scanned biometric data is fully encrypted and does not contain any visual imagery of individuals' faces. For added security, SAFR SCAN features anti-fake, also called "anti-spoof," technology with structured light (3D) and colors (RGB).

"SAFR SCAN is the biometrics access device that industry professionals have been waiting to arrive. It delivers extremely high levels of identification and authentication capabilities for new and emerging physical security, workforce management, and health-safety applications at an exceptional price point that will be attractive to large organizations as well as SMBs," proclaimed Steve Guardiani, President of VAR Valuber Security (Freehold, NJ). An MSRP of $1,199 for SAFR SCAN.

A Second Helping of QSR Automations

With over 1,200 locations across the U.S., Buffalo Wild Wings has renewed its partnership for kitchen operations with QSR Automations (Louisville, KY). It extends an initial agreement in 2011, and seeks to add new functionality. Areas of improvement include load balancing among stations during peak hours and custom dashboards at prep stations to keep track of both on- and off-premise orders. In the lobby, guests at "BWW GO" locations may now track their order on the Order Ready Board. Another benefit: deeper data mining and business analytics.

"QSR Automations has been a trusted kitchen technology partner of ours for years, and it's that trust that inspired us to make the investment in upgrading our systems," relayed Chuck Eicher, VP of Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurant Technology. "The team at QSR did a superb job of identifying opportunities to maximize efficiencies and delivering customized solutions to address existing pain points. They are true partners in our business and an integral part of our success."

"Onboarding new clients is satisfying, but it's even more rewarding when existing customers see the value in a partnership with QSR Automations and choose to continue the relationship through the next phase of business growth," related Angela Leet, CEO of QSR Automations. "We've enjoyed customizing [our signature platform] 'ConnectSmart' to meet the unique needs of BWW and look forward to watching them continue to flourish." Started in 1996 by husband Lee Leet, who unfortunately passed away in May 2021, QSR Automations has as customers 21 of the Top 25 casual dining chains in the U.S.

FreedomPay Applies Cosmetics

A mobile platform for POS by FreedomPay (Philadelphia, PA) will be deployed at beauty retailer Sephora. Including contactless payments, digital wallet, and e-commerce, FreedomPay's "Next Level Commerce" will support Sephora's 500 stores across North America. With it, customers may choose to pay on their personal device, in the manner of BYOD, with support of Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay.

"FreedomPay is proud to announce the agreement with Sephora, to provide a world-class experience to its millions of customers across the Americas," remarked Chris Kronenthal, President at FreedomPay. "Our suite of touchless commerce and data solutions will enable Sephora to provide customers a fast, frictionless, and innovative consumer experience." Another recent contract win for FreedomPay: modern-day "roadside" burger stand, Shake Shack, with 200 locations in the U.S.

"Now more than ever, it is critical for us at Sephora to be able to adapt to the quickly changing retail environment and that's especially important at the POS," confirmed Sree Sreedhararaj, SVP and CTO at Sephora. "Our clients desire a seamless experience in every step of the shopping journey, and our partnership with FreedomPay allows us to maximize efficiencies and capabilities at checkout." A tech refresh for Sephora, which has also added delivery services by Shipt (Birmingham, AL) and forecasting/replenishment by Relex Solutions (Atlanta, GA).

HELLO GOODBYE

A Wingman for Grubbrr

Grubbrr (Boca Raton, FL) has engaged Patrick Laney as its new COO. His previous experience includes roles as Co-Founder of Performance Drone Works and GM of Lockheed Martin's Unmanned Systems Business. A naval aviator, he held the rank of Lieutenant Commander.

As CEO of Grubbrr, there's Sam Zietz, Founder and CEO of POS VAR TouchSuite, which purchased Grubbrr in 2018. As products, Grubbrr offers kiosks, automated checkout systems, line busters, and menu boards for the restaurant sector. It partners with companies such as Clover, Oracle/Micros, ParTech, and Square in POS.

"I believe in Sam's vision for Grubbrr," volunteered Laney. "Well executed, there's no reason why Grubbrr can't be as successful as Salesforce, Atlassian, or Hubspot. This is going to be super stressful, but also super exciting. In the next ten years, I expect to walk into most fast food, retail, and grocers in the United States, and transact on kiosks provided by Grubbrr."
