What They Say
Invidis reported that Samsung’s new kiosk solution, which we saw at the Peerless event in London, is being supported by a French software provider, Intuiface. The firm is enabling fully functional payment modules for the German market. There is a demonstration video here. Invidis points out that the kiosk market is dominated by regional and specialist companies, as payment systems are often different regionally. Intuiface has developed payment functions with Stripe as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Samsung’s policy was to build a standardised platform that came from QSR applications, but with local interfacing and payment systems.
What We Think
Samsung seem to have developed a good ‘platform’ strategy here that should exploit its global hardware strengths, while meeting local needs. (BR)
