AUSTIN, Texas and COCONUT CREEK, Fla. – Yesterday, NACS supplier members Acumera, a provider of Trusted Connection Services for retail organizations, and ZipLine, a provider of mobile- and card-based decoupled debit (ACH) payment solutions, announced the launch of their ZipLine Connection App. Part of Acumera’s suite of Apps for Your Network™ services, the new app runs on the company’s Merchant Gateway platform and allows customers to benefit by offering ZipLine payment and loyalty services to consumers, with no additional hardware investment at their sites.
ZipLine customers can now utilize Acumera’s Merchant Gateway to connect to the ZipLine platform to experience fast transaction performance and remotely monitor those transactions, as well as other performance and alerts, through Acumera’s AcuVigil™ dashboard. ZipLine customers will also have the ability to upgrade to the full suite of Acumera’s Trusted Connection Services.
As a part of the strategic partnership, both companies are introducing the ZipLine Connection App to their respective customers. “Acumera is well known for its expertise and reliability in connectivity services, and for providing merchants real-time operational data that can be key to management,” said Stephen Goodrich, ZipLine CEO and president. “As we utilize the Acumera platform, our customers will have new tools for improved remote support and visibility.”
The ZipLine Connection App is a part of a suite of apps available through Acumera’s Apps for Your Network™ platform, which provides a remotely upgradeable system for securely connecting devices and information to the Internet of Things.
“We are pleased to add the ZipLine Connection App to our growing list of apps,” added Acumera CEO Dirk Heinen. “We’ve combined our experience in apps and PCI compliant managed network services with ZipLine’s groundbreaking payment and loyalty programs to create a truly superior solution for convenience stores. Not only do store owners grow sales with the ZipLine app, they also gain access to actionable data that will equip them to better manage their operations.”
