The Foschini Group has 14 different brands, which are made up of 1332 stores, having a total of 4400 point of sale terminals. <br> <br> TFG has appointed eCentric Switch to install an integrated EFT service to all their points of sale. <br> <br> This will result in the replacement of the dial-up EFT machines with a Pinpad integrated to the point of sale. eCentric will be implementing a Postilion infrastructure with Verifone pinpads connecting via esocket.pos. <br> <br> The platform will support a number of value added services and will be reconciled using ReconAssist. <br> <br> TFG wanted a reliable, scalable and cost-effective EFT and Value Added Service switching solution that will support the TFG s business objectives of operational excellence, cost reduction and profitable growth. The solution(s) deployed must meet all the requirements for an EMV-compliant card payment system as well as PCI DSS compliance. <br> <br> eCentric will commission, test and implement an end-to-end transaction chain for all card transactions from each TFG store in a phased approach. eCentric will be responsible for performing the end-to-end Acquirer Acceptance Testing and EMV compliance testing in collaboration with the acquiring banks. eCentric will additionally provide an overall project management service in collaboration with the TFG project manager. <br> <br> This is a multi-faceted project with the potential to add many more aspects over time. <br> <br> The commission to eCentric encompasses all the actions required to establish and successfully operate this system. The end-to-end system will be operational in South Africa, in the first quarter of 2008. <br> <br> <a href="news.htm" class="link">Back to News</a> </p> </div></td> <td width="3">&nbsp;</td> </tr> </table></td></tr> </table> </body> </html>
