Expanding its point of sale solutions portfolio, the Data
Capture/POS (Point of Sale) business unit of Ingram Micro Inc.
(NYSE: IM) today announced a new distribution relationship with
Equinox Payments, LLC.
Under the terms of the new U.S. agreement, Ingram Micro will be
named a master distributor of Equinox's wide-array of payment
terminals including the popular L5000 series. The Equinox L5000,
paired with Equinox's proprietary Remote Key Injection system, will
enable Ingram Micro U.S. to download security keys to payment
terminals on behalf of Ingram Micro's channel partners. This allows
Ingram Micro U.S. to offer its customers a way to avoid the cost
and time of taking terminals offline and shipping them to secure
facilities for key injections.
"With integrated NFC/contactless technology, EMV chip reading,
signature capture, PIN entry and remote key injection capabilities
-- all on a large, brilliant-color display -- the L5000 series is
fast becoming a channel favorite and offers a great service for any
business that accepts PINpad and credit card payments," says Lloyd
Baylard, vice president, Equinox Payments. "The market expertise,
dedicated support and expanded partner reach offered through the
Ingram Micro Data Capture/POS business unit will serve as a growth
catalyst for Equinox Payments -- helping us to achieve our business
goals, and bring increased value and greater service levels to our
mutual channel partners."
"Equinox Payments is one of the top POS payment terminal
manufacturers in the country, and we're pleased to be named
distributor of choice for L5000 series of payment terminals as part
of our growing solutions portfolio to resellers and MSPs throughout
the U.S.," says Justin Scopaz, executive director and general
manager of the Ingram Micro Data Capture/POS and Physical Security
business units, North America.
"The retail market is a strong play for resellers who offer
technology solutions that streamline efficiency, add convenience
and help companies of all sizes adhere to business regulations and
industry compliance requirements," explains Carla Cicero, executive
director, U.S. sales and vendor management, Ingram Micro Data
Capture/POS business unit. "Payment terminals in particular are
becoming increasingly popular and present a good 'in' for channel
partners to engage existing customers and prospects on adopting or
refreshing their IT environment to include customer service
innovations such as the Equinox L5000."
Equinox Payment terminals are now available to Ingram Micro
channel partners throughout the U.S. Dedicated sales, marketing and
technical resources are also readily available to mutual Equinox
and Ingram Micro channel partners via the distributor's Data
Capture/POS business unit.

Ingram Micro channel partner can contact Ingram Micro's new
