Key Markets

The TransNet/AXP solution is ideal for almost any merchant looking for cost-effective, highly

secure, and easily managed payments. However, there are unique benefits for several key retail

sectors:

Restaurants can integrate TransNet/AXP with their existing hospitality application, gaining

ongoing PCI compliance and faster transactions. Larger chain restaurants will appreciate the

ability to download application changes to multiple terminals simultaneously.

Small business owners can use their existing PC for more secure PCI-compliant payment

processing. These users can also eliminate the monthly/capital cost of a separate payment

terminal and can negotiate better processing rates with a direct route into the processor. TransNet-

VT delivers a user-friendly payment interface for those who do not have an existing payment

application.

Small retailers who depend on electronic cash registers (ECRs) or payment terminals will gain a

payment processing interface on their existing device. On the back end, the transactions will be

PCI compliant and dramatically faster, with many achieving cost savings by eliminating the need

for a dedicated dial line.
