Just out: an interactive terminal point that delivers loyalty cards.K2-Corp and EVOLIS pool their expertise

France, October 2009 . K2-Corp, a major player in the design, manufacture and marketing of interactive terminals, has embedded a plastic card personalization solution from EVOLIS into VENDING, its newest self-service payment terminal. This terminal delivers loyalty cards instantly and is already in use at the ALINEA stores in France.

 

Vending , the latest interactive terminal from K2-Corp is derived from a terminal already available at the multiple ALINEA furniture and decoration stores in France. This terminal provides a real-time and on-demand reply regarding the availability of an item in the store (brand, model, size, color, etc.), as well as the possibility to order and pay for it, thanks to a payment card. Once the purchase is processed and approved, the customer can immediately retrieve the ordered item.

Yet, this terminal is not just about payment. Its scope extends to delivering instantly loyalty cards and providing visibility on the number of cumulated loyalty points earned after each purchase. This new terminal is fitted with a plastic card personalization module supplied by EVOLIS, to enable instant delivery of personalized loyalty cards.

EVOLIS and K2-Corp have pooled their expertise to support all the specific features of this application. EVOLIS has provided K2-Corp with the Dualys card printer, designed to personalize cards in dual-sided mode. A customer simply has to fill in his personal contact data on the terminal to obtain a personalized card within seconds. A bar code printed at the back of the card makes it possible to know the number of cumulated points through the terminal, any time.

This forward-thinking concept offers multiple benefits for brands and their customers, as customers no longer have to cope with endless queues, while a particular brand can build up even further loyalty with its customers.
