In today’s economic climate, cost saving through smart decision making is essential to navigate financial pressures. Find out how unattended retail solutions could be the key.
Juniper Research’s latest Contactless Payments research predicts contactless transactions will grow 130% globally in the next five years, taking the market size from its current $4.7tn to $11tn in 2027, proving consumers are making the shift from cash to contactless payments.
UK finance reported that the main cause of the decline in cash payments has been the increasing use of debit cards, in particular the growing popularity of contactless payments and more recently in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic.
Why make the move to cashless?
Customers will appreciate the ease of a cashless payment system, as many continue to make the move to contactless payment, especially via mobile payments offer an added layer of security pin / facial ID.
From a forecourt owners’ point of view, cash management can be difficult and expensive to manage. Transportation of cash needs to be considered, as well as providing the relevant amount of monetary ‘change’ with each transaction. Unattended retail may require the correct coins to operate, leading to staff disturbance and more unnecessary work. Additionally, counting and balancing cash can result in human error – cashless payments take this responsibility away from employees.
It’s important businesses choose to future-proof their forecourt, to increase and protect profit growth on unattended retail. Not only do customers want an alternative payment choice, but forecourt owners who opt for a device with a reporting suite, will have access to important data - reducing stock wastage and helping to understand customer behaviours.
Reporting suites produce a variety of actionable reports, helping you to only order the stock you need, alerting you to ‘real time’ technical faults and providing transparency over your unattended business.
Processing payments quicker
In today’s economic climate, cost saving through smart decision making is essential to navigate financial pressures. It’s important to choose a reliable provider who processes payments quickly – creating a consistency in your cash flow. Safeguard your payments by ensuring your device is PCI level 1 accredited and ensure you have access to a reliable customer service team, who are proven to resolve any issues quickly, preventing loss of income.
