In cooperation with Payment Solution AG, a provider specialized in stadiums, arenas and leisure parks, TCPOS, provider of POS solutions for hospitality, leisure and retail deployed an integrated ePayment and POS solution at the newly opened ratiopharm arena Ulm/Neu-Ulm. A total of 40 POS systems are now operating in combination with the card solution and the cashless payment system of Stadtwerke Ulm/Neu-Ulm.

On the occasion of the grand opening party of the ratiopharm arena on December 9, 2011 the new POS system from TCPOS and the new system for Payment Solution went live. Purchases at kiosks in the ratiopharm arena can only be paid using the new ratiopharm arena card or the SWU SchwabenCard. Contactless payment via RFID-chip and a card reader accelerate payment procedures, reducing waits at sales areas.

The operation company of ratiopharm arena and Stadwerke Ulm/Neu-Ulm consciously decided in favor of the integrated solution from Payment Solution and the POS system from TCPOS, because TCPOS has long-term experience in more than ten stadiums. The multifunctional solution from TCPOS was chosen because it provides intuitive user operation and fast POS processes even at high guest traffic. The integration of the card solution was realized effortlessly within a short time period by the close cooperation between TCPOS and Payment Solution.

With the integration of the card solution from Payment Solution, it is now possible to pay with the customer card of the municipal energy supplier in the ratiopharm arena in Ulm/Neu-Ulm. “Even owners of the new SWU SchwabenCard can directly load their card and use it for payment at the several kiosks“, explains Richard King Director Marketing /PR of ratiopharm arena.

„We are glad that in cooperation with Payment Solution we succeed to equip another stadium with our POS solution and a modern payment solution”, says Dirk Schwindling, Managing Director of TCPOS Germany. “A big advantage of our joint solution is the fact that we provide effective and fast processes combined with future oriented technology in our systems. The modern IT infrastructure results in an immediate positive impact on the frequency of the checkouts”.
