RITE Achieves PCI QIR Certification

Retail Information Technology Enterprises (RITE) of Sartlell, MN and Boise, ID has achieved PCI Qualified Integrated and Resellers (QIR) certification.

While this may not sound important - it is when looking for a point of sale company that provides complete point of sale solutions that include the ability to process payments made by debit and credit card. In fact, VISA has mandated that all level 4 merchants need to have a "Qualified Install" done for any payment applications.  In other words a QIR certified individual must perform the installation (or update) of any PA-DSS compliant payment applications.  This is to ensure the installation and configuration of the application is done in a PCI complain manner.

I'd recommend that you check to ensure that your point of sale VAR/Dealer/Partner has achieved the same level of qualification.  From a security stand point, this would be a "best practice" when working with a business for point of sale equipment.  Here are the websites that allow you to search to see if the company that you are, or will be working with, has the mandated certification:

As always, contact me at 208-340-5632 or kevinantosh@gmail.com with any questions.

RITE Customer in the News

Nice article about retail popup stores that features one of our retail point of sale customers: http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/article118652983.html

I've worked with Mixed Greens for more than 5 years and also have about 7 other retailers within 6 blocks of Mixed Greens that are clients/customers as well. All of these stores use the Microsoft RMS point of sale software.

Always fun to see a customer in the news (in a favorable way)!

RITE Wins Award

Wow - so for the second year in a row that Retail Information Technologies Enterprises (RITE - Sartel, MN, Dallas, TX and Boise, ID) has won the Circle of Excellence Growth Award as part of the annual Retail Realm and Microsoft retail technology conference. As one of the largest Microsoft RMS, HQ, Dynamics AX, Retail Realm Essentials, and Retail Management Hero (RMH) Partners in the United States, RITE is committed to ensuring that customer service is not compromised by growth.

Quick Note of Thanks!

Quick note of thanks to the 27 stores in Idaho & Utah that recently selected RITE as their Microsoft RMS Partner! #rms #support #Utah #idaho

Obviously this was more of a social media post but it has been amazing (and hectic) couple of weeks given the need and demand for RMS support here in Idaho and Utah.

Thank goodness we have multiple RMS techs on staff!
