Getting Onboard with STS

Monday, April 12, 2010

STS is delighted to announce a new partnership with Onboard Retail Solutions to deliver new onboard retail technology solutions to airline, rail and ferry industries.

Part of the BOM Group, Onboard Retail Solutions help these industries dramatically increase their ancillary revenue through the use of innovative technical systems including onboard Point of Sale systems, back office solutions and onboard hardware systems using Bluebird's BIP-1300 mobile POS device.

STS and BOM Group have historically worked on previous solutions, a background which allowed Onboard Retail Solutions to recognise the need to partner with payment specialists as their expanding customer base grew. The partnership is aimed at enabling payments onboard for air, rail and ferry customers, a market which provides complexity through the unique operating environment - sometimes off-line and with a high level of multi-national payments support required.

Thomas Drohan, CEO at Onboard Retail Solutions said "We recognised a need to partner with companies who are experts in supporting payments in multiple markets. STS has experience in working over 16 countries and our opportunities are increasingly global. Whilst our first customer will be a UK airline - Thomson Airways - we expect to rollout our new Chip and PIN solution to multi-national providers this year".

Steve Turner, CEO at STS said "The partnership with Onboard Retail Solutions continues our global focus. Onboard Retail Solutions' focus make for the perfect partner for STS as we enter these new markets and new industries. We believe that combined we will have a great offering for our customers."
