Evolis and Gåva : First-Ever Integrated Card Printer and Gift & Loyalty Software

Angers, France, October 20, 2008 - Evolis and Gåva Give Hardware Distributors an Early Holiday Gift in the Form of the First-Ever Integrated Card Printer and Gift & Loyalty Software.

Gåva Systems, a leading provider of gift and loyalty software, and Evolis, a global manufacturer of identification (ID) card printers, launched a partnership today that will produce the first-ever ID card printer with integrated gift & loyalty card software built-in. The new combination offers ID systems distributors a significant revenue advantage over those distributors who sell only hardware and force customers to integrate loyalty software on their own.

“Distributors and dealers alike can add to their bottom line in two ways. First, they can help new customers grab a share of the $35 billion dollar gift card market using the Evolis package. Second, existing Evolis customers can quickly create their own gift & loyalty card program by easily installing the GåvaEL application,” said Erik Paul, VP - Sales and Marketing for Gåva Systems. “The new solution can also increase supply reorders to produce even greater on-going revenue.”

Retailers with multiple locations can produce custom cards for each store or even create custom cards for each holiday seasons to increase sales and create traffic. Evolis designs and manufactures a comprehensive range of ID card printers that also print gift or loyalty cards on demand. It’s easy to personalize any cards with text, graphics, pictures and barcodes, and print them in small runs or large volumes.

“When it comes to a gift & loyalty program, an affordable software package is critical to its success,” said Gerardo Talavera, Managing Director of Evolis for the Americas. “GåvaEL along with an Evolis printer is the perfect way to build a strong and profitable program.”

Gåva software was designed to fit into virtually any environment where money is exchanged for services. It is easy to use and provides a quick return on investment. What’s more Gåva never charges per-swipe or per-transaction fees and provides FREE software upgrade for the life of your relationship. “What I like most about Evolis is not only that they are reliable, but they are flexible and willing to create custom solutions,” said Paul. “The combination of Gåva Software paired with the Evolis line of printers gives the end user unparalleled flexibility.”
