CommBank partners with Kounta to enhance mPOS offering
Australian businesses using Kounta on Albert can now accept payments, manage tables, take customer orders, split bills and update inventory levels at the same time from the one device.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Kounta have partnered to add a new point-of-sale app to CommBank's EFTPOS tablet, known as Albert, to integrate a range of business, payment and POS processes on a single mobile device.
Businesses using Kounta on Albert can now accept payments, manage tables, take customer orders, split bills and update inventory levels at the same time from the one device, according to a press release.
In addition to offering transaction and POS functions, Kounta on Albert integrates with customer loyalty, accounting, inventory, rostering and payroll applications. No longer will businesses need to use multiple devices to run their day-to-day operations, the company said.
"Kounta on Albert brings together for the first time point-of-sale, payment and backend processes on one device with a high level of security and connectivity," said Claire Roberts, executive general manager for local business banking at Commonwealth Bank. "Practically, it means staff can be interacting with customers in a more efficient and personable way because they don’t need to be using multiple systems or devices."
