Hey, hsg....how's THIS?IVI Checkmate Announces Agreement with Orchard Supply Hardware Chain -- IVI Checkmate named preferred supplier of interactive touch screen terminals for Home Improvement and Garden Supply division of Sears, Roebuck and Company -- <<<ATLANTA/TORONTO, May 31 /CNW-PRN/ - IVI Checkmate Corp. (NASDAQ: CMIV); (TSE: IVC/IVI), announced today an agreement with Orchard Supply Hardware of San Jose, CA, naming IVI Checkmate as the preferred supplier of interactive touch screen terminals for payment and value-added consumer program delivery for Orchard Supply Hardware (OSH) store locations. Orchard Supply Hardware is a division of Sears, Roebuck and Company. The agreement specifies that IVI Checkmate will supply eN-Touch 1000(TM) customer-interactive touch screen and signature capture terminals for installation at OSH's checkout lanes. OSH will initially implement the eN- Touch 1000 customer-interactive touch screen and signature capture terminals for consumer-activated credit and online debit payment. OSH will also be implementing BIN management, which allows them to differentiate between a credit card or check card as it is being tendered. Using the eN-Touch 1000's touch screen capabilities, if a check card is tendered, OSH will have the ability to prompt the customer for their PIN (personal identification number), reducing their per transaction cost. OSH will implement signature capture in a later phase.
