GREENVILLE, SC - July 19, 2011 - Ingenico, the leading worldwide provider of payment devices and services, and ScanSource, Inc., the leading international distributor of point of sale, AIDC (automatic identification and data capture), communications, and physical security products for the reseller market, today announced a joint non-exclusive partnership to co-market and distribute Ingenico’s POS products by leveraging ScanSource’s extensive reseller/VAR network in the U.S. According to the agreement, ScanSource, Inc. will start carrying, marketing and distributing Ingenico’s industry-leading POS devices to its extensive reseller network.

In addition, Ingenico will provide a comprehensive product and software training for ScanSource’s sales and technical support teams to ensure their outstanding product and services support to reseller partners.

“The POS retail channel in the U.S. is unique, complex, and very dynamic. It demands excellence in product quality, customer service and efficient distribution,” says Thierry Denis, President of Ingenico North America. “Together with ScanSource’s new Payment Solutions Suite, which includes a brand new key injection facility, we will provide an effective solution for resellers and VARs. ScanSource, Inc. as the value-added distributer with its proven high-growth business model, solid market strength, and customer-centric company culture provides a perfect fit for our business. We are excited about the partnership, its market potential and the benefits it will bring to our mutual customers.”
