Retail Merchant Services and SPOT Business Systems have entered into a strategic partnership that will provide SPOT POS customers with integrated card payment services, and RMS drycleaning customers with access to powerful ePOS solutions, specially designed for their industry.

SPOT Business Systems provides software-and web-based business tools that help customers in the drycleaning industry deal with the day-to-day operational issues related to running their business, with ePOS integration and payments processing vital components of it.

Both parties are excited about this new partnership and the potential benefits it brings to existing RMS and SPOT customers across the UK. With this agreement, RMS’ drycleaning customers will now have access to a host of enhanced POS features, including detailed reporting for production and accounting, retention marketing, customer service features with enterprise class configuration options, credit and gift card management, and added security. SPOT solutions are highly scalable – from a single-user to a 10,000-user system, which will allow both SPOT and RMS the flexibility to better serve their SMBs customer base in the cleaning services market. SPOT POS customers will also be able to benefit from RMS integrated card payment solutions along with market competitive rates and same day payment.

“Our new strategic partnership with SPOT positions RMS as an innovative payments provider, able to address – always with the latest technologies – the specific needs of our customers in different market verticals, such as drycleaners,” said Kevin O’Keefe, CEO for Retail Merchant Services. “It also embodies our ethos of putting our customers first by providing solutions that make business owners’ lives easier. We look forward to a long and productive partnership with SPOT Business Systems,” he added.

“Thanks to this partnership with RMS, SPOT customers now have access to very competitive rates for card processing as well as rock solid integrated support, from a dedicated team. The in-depth knowledge both organisations have working with small to medium sized businesses is a major plus for our garment care professionals,” said Tabish Aiman, managing director of SPOT Business Systems EMEA Ltd.“

By leveraging on each other’s strengths and capabilities, together, RMS and SPOT look forward to many successful initiatives, as both partners begin to deliver world-class quality solutions and services to help drycleaning businesses become more efficient, competitive and profitable in the UK,” Aiman concludes.
