WRT launches updated POS solution
Loyalty technology provider Welcome Real-time has launched the latest version of its XLS 7.0 solution. 
This latest release of Welcome XLS encompasses the loyalty solution on point of sale (POS) devices, but also extends the application to include online transactions, ATMs and bankwide loyalty.
“This new release is part of our continuous effort to expand the Welcome XLS features to help banks and retailers offer more innovative and attractive loyalty programs across all channels, attract new customers and run their business more profitably,” said Sebastien Slim, VP global presales & product marketing, Welcome Real-time.
Welcome says XLS 7.0 has moved from a pure chip-based solution to a technology ‘agnostic’ solution, enabling it to manage any card technology (chip, magstripe, contactless) in a consistent way, providing the same customer experience and the same level of functionalities across the board. This works for any type of payment cards: credit, debit, prepaid, gift cards.
Physical and/or virtual retailers can use Welcome XLS on all of their transactions. In addition to the standalone POS or ePOS environments that are already deployed with Welcome XLS, the solution can now be used by the e-retailer for their internet transactions to provide real-time loyalty at the moment of payment exactly like that on a regular POS or ePOS.
