Software-as-a-Service is as much a business approach to delivering solutions as it is a software architecture. Consider that unlike most other retail applications, all of The Retail Equation’s solutions are software-as-a-service (SaaS) and can be easily piloted and quickly rolled out to your retail stores using a simple standalone terminal device or via a rapid POS integration. The nature of a SaaS deployment means all you need to have is power and connectivity at your lane, cash wrap, or return counter – there is no software that needs to be loaded in stores or at the your headquarters, all processing is performed on servers in TRE’s data center.
Benefits
- Rapid pilot and roll-out times. You can get to pilot in 30 days and it requires very little of your labor resource time.
- Flexible deployment. SaaS solutions implement and operate independently on many devices, including standalone terminals or integrated with your existing POS/ecommerce.
- No hassles. All software is managed and updated by TRE in our data center and on standalone terminal devices, allowing your staff to focus on other priorities.
- High scalability. Architecture and data center resources to scale to the needs of the largest retail organization.
- Low risk. Minimal infrastructure reduces many of the costs and delays endured with more traditional software implementations.
- Financial performance. Connecting at the transaction-level allows us to actively monitor, measure, and maintain our operational and financial commitments to you.
Security with a SaaS Deployment
The Retail Equation is PCI-compliant and conducts regular security assessments. In addition, we have a host of physical, electronic, process, and personnel security procedures in place at our offices, in our data center, and in the form of recommendations for our retailer customers. We take data security, and all security, very seriously.
