a state - of-the-are payment solution The Challenge
The customer grabs a box of birdseed, rummages in the bin for two rawhide dog bones, picks up a bag of cat litter and heads for one of five Petco checkout lanes. After the clerk scans all four items, a message appears on the Hypercom® ICE- 6000 screen prompting the customer to select a payment type. She chooses 'credit,' swipes her card through the magnetic stripe reader, verifies the correct dollar amount and signs her name on the terminal screen. Meanwhile, the clerk monitors each stage of the transaction on the Epson register powered by 1DA POS software. Once the transaction is finalized the thermal printer delivers a sales receipt including the Petco logo, a message promoting the upcoming pet adoption day, and the customer's digitized signature.All in next to no time. Back before the 1980s, the total shopping experience required clerks to enter purchase amounts item by item, ICE 5000 terminal subtotal, add state and local sales taxes, total and print a receipt. All 'automated' by electronic cash registers (ECRs) which recorded customer purchases and notified Purchasing of changes in inventory levels. Payment was handled separately, often as a manual function, and copies of paper receipts were duly sorted and filed. That was then, as the saying goes, and this is now.Today most major retailers have integrated ECR functions with card payment technologies. The shopping experience for both customers and clerks is considerably faster and more automated. But the management of system upgrades and ongoing maintenance is still often difficult. Software is purchased over here, hardware is bought over there, installation comes from yet another provider. When systems don't work as promised, finger-pointing abounds. The Solution Enter Hypercom Corporation, a leading global provider of electronic payment solutions that add value at the paint-of-safe for consumers, and for merchants and acquirers engaged in e-commerce, m-commerce, smart cards and traditional retail applications. Hypercom delivers one-stop payment systems responsibility.

Late in 1999, Petco came to Hypercom looking for a single -source, long-term solution enabling them to perform financial transactions. Ultimately, the solution would also provide smart card and advertising capabilities. Hypercom's one-stop, single-source payment system was exactly what Petco wanted. In fact, this competency helped win the contract for Hypercom over another bidder.Today Hypercom provides project management expertise and functions as the primary contractor for implementing the Petco system.

engineers defined the scope of the project, developed detailed implementation plans, managed the development of custom software, assisted with building software interfaces to the register, tested system software in a Hypercom laboratory and delivered the total solution to the customer in agreed-upon timeframes. As a manufacturer of Internet-enabled, point-of-sale devices, Hypercom also provided ICE`" 6000 terminals and software to make the system work.This solution interfaces with POS registers and peripherals, ensures proper control over routing transactions to Petco's network, switching transactions to processors and man aging electronic receipt capture (ERC), storage and retrieval. It even provides Petco with a virtual terminal at headquarters to handle adjustments to financial transactions.
