DOYLESTOWN, PA. and
CLEVELAND
— July 13, 2011 — CardSmith
LLC and Agilysys, Inc. today
announced the integration of
the InfoGenesis™ POS system
with CardSmith's campus card
transaction processing
system and the launch of a
business development
partnership for higher
education and other market
segments. The integrated
system will begin processing
July 15 at select client
sites.
CardSmith will now offer the
InfoGenesis POS solution to
higher education clients.
InfoGenesis POS terminals
will come equipped with
CardSmith's
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
meal plan and campus card
processing service. The
companies are tightly
coordinating operations and
client support services to
deliver a seamless customer
experience.
The InfoGenesis POS system
is an award-winning
point-of-sale software
solution that combines
powerful reporting and
configuration capabilities
in the back office with an
easy-to-use touch-screen
terminal application.
Features include real-time
reporting capabilities,
packages and prix fixe
menus, signature capture,
multi-language capability
and advanced sorting,
filtering and grouping
options.
Integration of the
InfoGenesis POS system with
CardSmith's campus card
transaction processing
system creates a 100 percent
web-enabled meal plan and
campus card processing
solution — without the need
for on-premise card
processing, POS polling or
other hardware or software
of any kind. The powerful
solution is fast to launch,
easy to operate and
supported by highly
experienced professional
service teams. As a result,
clients can focus on core
operations instead of
managing proprietary
transaction systems and
technologies.
"This partnership expands
the benefits of our open,
simple, web-enabled business
model to dining POS," said
CardSmith President Jay
Summerall. "Agilysys is a
market leader in
point-of-sale systems at
large-scale hospitality
venues around the world, and
we welcome the InfoGenesis
POS system to our portfolio
of certified applications.
We also look forward to
collaborating with Agilysys
to bring additional
market-leading solutions,
such as the EatecŪ inventory
and procurement system and
the eMenu self-service
ordering system, to our
customer base."
"The business partnership
between Agilysys and
CardSmith translates into
new and exciting options for
the higher education
market," said Tina Stehle,
senior vice president and
general manager of
Agilysys Hospitality
Solutions Group. "The
InfoGenesis POS system is
one of the most flexible and
reliable point-of-sale
solutions on the market. Its
integration with CardSmith's
campus card transaction
processing system will
enable clients to implement
state-of-the-art technology
and streamline operations.
The result is a more
efficient and profitable
dining POS experience and
higher customer
satisfaction."
