SACREMENTO, CA – POS Portal is excited to announce a new, streamlined process for procuring EMV-ready payment devices for Microsoft Dynamics and Retail Management Hero (RMH) applications. Known leaders in their domains for more than a decade, Retail Realm and POS Portal have joined forces to simplify the point-of-sale (POS) payment hardware procurement process for VARs, ISVs, and merchants, eliminating configuration errors and ensuring that devices show up where they are needed, ready to process.

This new partnership and solution give retailers a standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 and RMH payment integration easily configured with pre-staged devices, significantly reducing installation time and enabling retailers to start processing transactions quickly.

POS Portal is the leading provider of EMV-ready payment devices in the U.S. and plays an important role in enabling its partners like Retail Realm – a longtime Microsoft Partner and Distributor – to ensure that these devices are correctly configured and are ready to go when the merchants receive them.

Deploying EMV-ready payment devices is a complex process that requires extensive certifications and exacting security standards in order to enable a hardware configuration partner to access and correctly load the injection keys that are needed for EMV compliance. With one of the largest key libraries in the U.S., POS Portal is able to meet the needs of Retail Realm partners across the integrated payments channel, including those using either the RR mAX Pay product or RMH solution.

“We always look to partner with industry visionaries who are leading the way,” said Shobhit Kumar, Product Marketer at POS Portal. “Retail Realm’s payment solution fully integrates with Microsoft Dynamics 365 and RMH, connecting retailers to the EMV-certified payment processor of their choice. It’s why it makes sense for us to work with Retail Realm to deliver a complete solution that is easy for customers to adopt and provides a clear path to EMV card acceptance.”

The POS Portal team has worked closely with processors and gateways like Vantiv, Cayan and Shift4 to certify payment devices for retailers using Microsoft Dynamics 365 and RMH.

In order to obtain the hardware, customers work with POS Portal through the entire EMV rollout. From the solutioning stage, through testing, and finally to delivering front-line ready devices, POS Portal provides an end-to-end hardware program. POS Portal also offers a Hardware-as-a-Service program that delivers hardware for one affordable, monthly payment. The company’s additional services include a hardware-support plan that ensures device uptime and next-business-day replacements as needed.

“It’s really exciting to know that retailers finally have the flexibility to easily install the payment solution that will be best for their business,” said Rachel Smith, VP of Sales for Retail Realm. “Instead of having to be dictated by hardware limitations, the merchant is now in the driver’s seat and has the luxury of choice.”

POS Portal and Retail Realm are proud to be leading the way in providing a complete, easy-to-adopt EMV solution for merchants across the U.S.
