Givex Gift Card Programs Certified to PCMS’ Vision BeanStore

LONDON - Givex, a leading global gift card and loyalty transaction processor,
announced today its successful certification to Vision BeanStore by the PCMS
Group. Vision BeanStore is a multi-sector PoS product developed to meet the
needs of retailers from many different markets.

Businesses using BeanStore will now be able to sell Givex gift cards and
accept them as alternate forms of payment.

“Many high street businesses have switched to gift cards from paper
vouchers this year,” says Jurgen Ketel, Director Sales, Givex UK. “We’re very
pleased to assist BeanStore users with this transition. Consumers wishing to
maximise the value of their buying power will look at gift cards. Rather than
wasting money on something that could be the wrong size or colour, a gift
card gives the recipient the gift of choice. In this economy, all consumers
will appreciate getting some discretionary spending at their favourite
merchants.”

“BeanStore is designed to grow with any multi-channel retailer’s
constantly evolving needs,” Says Martyn Osborne, Global Product Manager for
PCMS Group plc. “Gift cards are going to open up many new opportunities for
online and other channels. The market is firmly moving in the direction of
gift cards and the new functionality from this integration will give our
clients an edge over slower-moving competition.”

In addition to gift cards, Givex also provides other solutions for all
aspects of a merchant’s business including: loyalty cards, e-gift vouchers,
frequency cards, returns cards, employee incentives, expense accounts,
promotional cards and vouchers.
