AXIUM, enabling the new world of commerce

The new world of commerce

As a post-pandemic era dawns, business owners understand that the needs and expectations of consumers have changed. They are used to payment methods that do not require physical interaction, and they spend ever more of their lives in the digital world. They increasingly demand secure, fast and easy ways to pay, wherever they are and however it suits them.

Today's merchants need to embrace new forms of payment methods like [QR Code] or contactless/mobile wallets. They also need to rethink the buying journey to attract consumers through services like Click & Collect. Even smaller merchants need to benefit from powerful monitoring tools that, in the past, were only available to large retailers.

The evolving payment landscape

All stakeholders, from banks to Fintechs, need to differentiate and deliver more value in a disrupted and highly competitive environment. Those that manage terminal estates need to keep up with security requirements in a very regulated payment ecosystem, control their costs, monitor their fleet, and deploy new services to terminals quickly and easily.

Android: the digital enabler

As mobile devices proliferate and more sophisticated back-office services move to the cloud, Android has become an important part of the digital transformation of businesses. Boasting a larger developer network and a more familiar user interface than any other mobile operating system, Android brings a great user experience and a huge pool of skills to the world of commerce.
