Total Cost of Ownership for Card Defender

I've been asked the best way to compare costs for the various EMV/Chip Card add-ons for the very popular Microsoft RMS point of sale software. One of the main issues is that many of the solutions charge a per transaction fee which may sound nominal but really adds up over time. Card Defender may have higher up front costs but the ongoing costs are much lower as shown in the chart below (example only - contact me for more specific details):

Pretty cool that Card Defender has a significant cost advantage over many of the other EMV add-ons for RMS and Card Defender is flexible when it comes to selecting a merchant services company (TSYS, Heartland and First Data) so you can always shop around for the best rates.

News from RSPA Retail Now 2016

I've been keeping my eye on any relevant point of sale news coming out of RSPA Retail Now 2016 which took place in Las Vegas - especially specific to retail point of sale systems.

To be honest, I really don't have a lot to pass along. There was a lot of good advice related to retail operations, industry data and new point of sale hardware but nothing that I feel would be of interest to most retailers in the US.

Hopefully the Retail Realm conference will offer more to pass along.
