Powa Technologies has teamed with Sophitech, a Latin American point-of-sale software provider, to offer Mexican merchants a next generation, fully integrated tablet-based payment product, according to a press release.

Sophitech recently launched its cloud-based POS application for iPad, SkyPOS, which is now available and fully integrated with the PowaPOS T25.

Powa said in the announcement that the partnership is intended to tap into the growing demand from retailers to use tablets to run their businesses due to the mobility, sophistication and cost effectiveness the device offers, particularly for small businesses.

"The advanced PowaPOS platform has allowed our development team to easily integrate SkyPOS in a very short time," Edgar Animas, CEO of Sophitech, said in a statement. "Derived from this integration effort, we can now bring to market a comprehensive POS solution which benefits all merchants."
