Japanese point-of-sale (POS) hardware provider Star Micronics and retail management software Vend are working to make digital receipts accessible to SMB retailers.
A subsidiary of Star Micronics, Star Cloud Services offers a suite of digital receipt and customer engagement tools that is free to all retailers using the Star Micronics printer peripherals with Vend's POS and inventory management software.
The launch of Vend's new integration with AllReceipts and the recent release of Star Cloud Services' Micro Receipt feature will enable retailers to offer their customers a new digital receipt solution.
Star Cloud Services sales and marketing vice-president David Salisbury said: "Vend has become a very popular choice for POS technology among SMB retailers.
“We are providing tools to help increase customer engagement, and the ability to personalise the customer experience, at no cost to the retailer."
Using Micro Receipt customers can scan a printed QR code into the AllReceipts app or the Itemize digital expense app and get instant access to the full receipt on their smartphone.
