PAX’s Elys Solution: A New Vision in Commerce

August 1, 2024
In an era where technology continues to redefine the way we conduct transactions; businesses must stay ahead of the curve to thrive in a rapidly evolving marketplace. As consumer expectations for seamless, secure, and innovative checkout experiences rise, it becomes crucial for enterprises to utilize advanced payment solutions that can meet these demands.
As a global leader in secure payment solutions, we recognize the importance of developing cutting-edge technology to meet the ever-changing needs of both service providers and merchants. In the last few years, the industry has witnessed payment devices evolve from traditional terminals to Point-of-Sale (POS) solutions. While traditional terminals are typically used only for processing payments, POS systems provide a more comprehensive solution for managing sales, inventory, customer data, and more.
Transitioning to a POS system allows companies to streamline their operations by centralizing their sales, inventory, and data into a single system. This enables them to better manage their inventory, automate their sales processes, and provide a more personalized customer experience.
Forrester, one of the world’s most influential research and advisory firms, stated in their The Point-Of-Service Solutions Landscape, Q3 2024 report that, “The POS provides tools for in-store associates to engage customers, perform prepurchase adjustments (e.g., item void, price change) and appeasements (e.g., refund or exchange), and track post-purchase activity (e.g., fulfillment status, order history).” The report further cited, “Systems that offer in-store transaction processing and provide store associate tools that enhance customer experiences at the point of purchase through added store services, increased customer engagement, and improved store operations.”
The latest exciting offering to join our PAX portfolio is the Elys Solution, comprised of the Elys Workstation (L1400) and the diverse peripherals designed to enhance its functionality. Our Elys Solution emerges as a game-changer, empowering businesses to embrace the future of the checkout experience.

The Elys Workstation is the central element in the revolutionary Elys Solution and is a powerful, highly configurable POS which can transform the customer and merchant experience. It offers a single platform that can integrate all your business management solutions including payments, when paired with a PAX payment device, in-store ordering, inventory management, loyalty programs, report generation, and more by partnering with a PAX POS software partner.
