Ingenico Group & Bleep kick-off early to keep fans happy at the Euro's 2016
Renewing a successful partnership first established for the London Olympics in 2012, Ingenico Group and Bleep have once again teamed up to provide payment services at the pop-up stores at the 2016 European Football Championship this summer in France.
With 50 pop-up stores in 10 locations across France including Nice, Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Saint-Etienne, Lille, Lens, and two stadiums in Paris including Stade de France. The organisers needed a robust, reliable and secure way of taking card and cash payments from the expected 2.5m visiting fans from around Europe.
Having developed the technologies to eliminate single points of failure for the London Olympics in 2012, the Bleep/Ingenico Pop-up Point of Sale (POS) solution proved capable of handling large transaction volumes and enabling visitors to use their cards safely and efficiently when purchasing the London Olympic merchandise.
John Wellman, Founder and CEO of Bleep, reveals the design behind the systems;
The Pop-up POS system, based on a tried and tested combination of Bleep's Award Winning POS system and Ingenico's market-leading card payment terminals, can be installed from the ground up in just a few days. This is then combined with in-field support and training provided by Bleep for each of the 10 sites through-out the duration of event, until the Euro 2016 final on the 10 July. Millions of fans are expected to buy official Euro 2016 merchandise at special stores including the superstore set-up near the Eiffel Tower and just around the corner from Ingenico HQ in Paris.
