Applying the Principles of Shortening the Supply Chain To Your IT Vendor

Most retailers understand the rules of shortening the supply chain to increase the value of their own product lines. Now, these same principles should also be used in the process of technology purchasing to improve business, according to Chief Executive of Electrone Europe, Stuart Thorn.

Streamline Suppliers

Companies such as Dell and EasyJet have become masters at streamlining the market to its basics, by simply buying directly from the supplier. This idea of reducing the number of processes in the chain should also be used with the technology partner. Retailers will only have the ability to lower costs and increase flexibility by using the smallest number of technology manufacturers.

The basics of most extended supply chains lead to greater costs and less flexibility! By purchasing software from the source, you can give direct feedback to them. Think if your reseller has the influence when it comes to asking for software changes or additions. Also, if you are in need of specialist input terminals or devices to operate your stores more efficiently, are you able to influence the style and design of those terminals?

Custom Technology

On one hand, greater pressure means high functioning, smarter, and more compact EPoS devices. However, your software can be customized for your specific needs in our current technologically advanced world. But, is the relationship you have with your supplier flexible enough to allow you to change the technology during the point of sale? Does it let you have a lower EPoS terminal in some stores, and well-designed, stylish looking units in another, or do you have to acquire a certain feature in order to handle problems and separate yourself from the competition?


Most would try to find a solution via their channel partner. However, they often end up to far removed in the supply chain to have any impact. Therefore, it’s critical that retailers use suppliers who in fact manage and own the manufacturing process. This will raise the initial design flexibility, as well as the ability to adjust to any new market changes.

Many times, retailers need to test new technology by buying just a few units. They also might need them on short notice. Only those that manage or own their manufacturing are able to make special adjustments on short notice. This is why keeping a stock of main, modular components at hand is so advantageous.

You want to ensure that you source right from outsource manufacturers who are as close to the production line as possible. Then you will be able to use their streamlined technology supply chain to offer better service, higher customer satisfaction, and differentiate your brand. And always be sure to stay close enough to the manufactures or vendors so your special needs are heard.

Customized Electrone PIN Pads to Prevent Identity Theft




Identity theft scams involving PIN pads is an ongoing, problematic issue for companies everywhere. Criminals can replace vendors’ PIN pads with their own, then collect these pads. After retrieving the pads, they are able to gain the information from the private accounts of the customers that had unfortunately used them.

In order to prevent identity theft like this, vendors must be proactive in protecting their PIN pads from being tampered with. Customized or mountable PIN pads are a solution for vendors using cashless payment systems, as thieves cannot easily duplicate and replace these pads.

To help vendors prevent identity theft, customized PIN pads are a great tool and provide their customers with easy, cashless payment devices. Furthermore, they are adaptable for most cashless payment systems, as PIN pads come with a wide variety of hardware and firmware options. They can also be made to indicate various functions of a vendor’s payment system.

Additionally, customized PIN pads are extremely hard to be duplicated. Customizable PIN pads for surface mounting are even safer options since criminals are not able to remove these devices from a store. If you’re a vendor looking for a great customizable PIN pad, consider Electrone Americas Ltd., Co. Electrone is the company to use, as we specialize in manufacturing custom PIN pads.

Our customized PIN pads support several cashless payment system applications and can be designed to include a fingerprint, magnetic stripe, or smart card reader. These features easily prevent identity theft by demanding additional identity verification. The PIN pads also feature customizable key tops and legends so that vendors can make a unique PIN pad that criminals cannot duplicate for identity theft purposes, and they also streamline customers’ payment process.

Electrone PIN pads can give further security against identity theft with their surface mounting design, preventing their removal. An extra bonus these units offer is their wipe-clean membranes and/or metal enclosures. Electrone PIN pads are resilient and versatile, and are used by countless businesses to protect their customers from identity theft.
