PSD Codax has introduced a SmartStart Pay contactless credit card reader, which can be retrofitted onto rollover car wash machines enabling forecourt operators to tap into the trend away from using cash.
The supplier says that many forecourt operators are reporting noticeable uplifts in revenue from being able to process card payments at the point of service delivery.
And its technology, launched at the Forecourt Show 2024, can be ordered new or as an upgrade on existing access terminals mounted on the same hardware.
In most cases the tech is compatible with existing Codax installations, and, says the company, upgrading is easy and will enable the following new features:
- Select wash programs from the menu directly on 4” colour touch screen card reader
- Run automated regular and off-peak pricing schedules
- Automatic void for fail-to-start wash programs
- Remote update of prices and schedule
- Wash availability mirrored by card reader/deactivated out of hours
- Enhanced card reader interface always shows customer instruction information
- Queue a customer while the wash is in use.
