Veras Retail releases Omniview, an upgrade to their existing    omnichannel inventory management software

Veras Omniview to replace Veras Locate in their product lineup

January 10, 2023- PHOENIX- Veras Retail, a leading global provider of omnichannel technology to deliver enhanced retail customer experiences, announced the release of Omniview- an upgrade to their existing inventory management software, Locate.

The new product helps retailers adopt effective mobile strategies to deliver personalized and superior customer services. Research shows that BOPIS (Buy Online Pickup In Store) is being used by almost 40% of some stores’ shoppers. Omniview helps retailers offer not just seamless BOPIS order Pickups but Ship to Store Pickups as well. Powered by AI recommendations, this software enables in-store mobile selling with and without a retail associate.

On the order fulfillment end, the upgrade offers various resourceful tools. The features allow for easy quantity and location management of products along with the orchestration of communications at each stage of buying and picking process. The mobile-ready via Extend makes accessing all the necessary information for order processing easy. These features empower retail stores with accessible data that can be further utilized to create long-term relationships with their customers.

While Veras Locate made real-time inventory management and shipping from different eCommerce fulfillment centers more efficient, Veras Omniview takes it a step further by making the process mobile-ready and more comprehensive. “Our mission has always been to create products that help retailers connect better with customers. Veras Omniview is one more step in that direction. Consumers are now demanding more omnichannel experiences and our new software delivers the same in a cost-effective and agile way”, said Rohit Vir, CEO of Veras Retail.

Innovative Omni-Commerce Payment & eWallet Solutions

Aurus Mobile Payments

Veras Retail & Aurus Inc. Announce Partnership to Deliver Innovative Omni-Commerce Payment & eWallet Solutions

A unified payments platform leader, Aurus offers proven global solutions that address the entire payments ecosystem.

Aurus Inc.
Veras and Aurus integration offers retailers alternative payment methods and transparent experiences as non-cash and contactless payment options surge.

April 6, 2021 – PHOENIX – Veras Retail, a leading global provider of omnichannel technology to deliver enhanced retail customer experiences, today is excited to announce its strategic partnership with Aurus Inc. A unified payments platform leader, Aurus offers proven global solutions that address the entire payments ecosystem.

“We are thrilled to enter into this partnership with Aurus to provide retailers with more flexible, efficient, and innovative omnichannel and digital payment options along the entire customer journey,” said Rohit Vir, CEO of Veras Retail. “From how customers prefer to shop, engage, and pay, Veras solutions enable digital transformation and a new level of personalization that is centered around the customer.”

Capgemini research from April 2020 showed that 64 percent of consumers say they use contactless payments often and 48 percent use digital wallets, including QR code-based payments. Additionally, 38 percent of consumers say they discovered a new payment provider during the lockdown period and may consider switching. The pandemic is clearly fueling the demand for new digital payment options, along with purchases made by a younger demographic, who are moving away from credit cards.

The Aurus omni-commerce payment platform accepts myriad payment types, including all leading credit card brands, private-label credit cards, and gift cards. In addition to ACH payment services and digital wallets, the versatile platform supports Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) payments, crypto-currency, Text2Pay, and social payments. The Aurus platform also supports industry-specific payment options such as Fleet, FSA, and EBT for food stamps and/or cash benefits.

“As a leader in global payment standards and payment software development, we understand the security and always-on operational needs of omni-commerce payments to drive success on a global scale,” said Rahul Mutha, CEO of Aurus Inc. “We’re excited to offer Veras Retail clients tremendous efficiencies and cost savings through a unified payment framework, while unlocking new and alternative payment options for their customers.”

Like all Veras’ suite of in-store, mobile, and remote selling solutions, AurusPay® takes the point-of-sale out of PCI scope to mitigate risk and provide the highest level of security.

Through this partnership, Veras will benefit from Aurus’ payment innovation to help retailers centralize their sales with unified commerce and secure payment methods regardless of channel. Veras will be even better positioned to serve its core retail customers and growth markets in Asia Pacific where mobile wallets and QR payments are essential for business.

Veras CheckOut 11.0 Achieves Philippine BIR Accreditation for POS

Metro Manila_Veras CheckOut BIR Certification

Veras CheckOut 11.0 Achieves Philippine BIR Accreditation for POS

Veras Retail automates heavy compliance requirements, adds omnichannel flexibility, and new strategies for retailers in the Philippines.

July 28, 2020 – PHOENIX – Veras Retail, a leading global provider of omnichannel technology and customer experience platform for enterprise retail, today announced its Philippine Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) accreditation for Veras CheckOut 11.0.

In accordance with BIR’s exacting standards, the modern point-of-sale solution removes cumbersome manual processes and eliminates human errors associated with sales tax, value-added tax (VAT), discount threshold, and complex exemption scenarios. Veras CheckOut’s new software enhancements also provide a foundation for addressing similar requirements in other countries.

“We are thrilled that Veras CheckOut was awarded BIR certification. With this accreditation, we look forward to expanding our existing customer base in the Philippines, one of the most robust retail sectors in Southeast Asia,” said Rohit Vir, CEO of Veras Retail.


Retailers doing business in the Philippines must regularly report on multiple transaction types to demonstrate compliance or face significant penalties if they are determined to violate BIR’s laws, rules, and regulations. Streamlining several government-discount types and promotional calculations, CheckOut’s BIR-certified software greatly reduces transaction time and eliminates customer frustration due to errors at the point-of-sale.

Veras CheckOut provides Philippine retailers a new level of transaction visibility and the ability to automatically report on store sales and sales by register, senior citizen transactions, and person with disability transactions with the click of a button.

In addition to BIR automation and compliance, Veras Retail’s technology-forward platform offers effective retail strategies, allowing retailers to better respond to new customer expectations and shopping behaviors through:

“From grocery to hypermarket and apparel to specialty retail, Veras CheckOut provides built-in compliance on a modern omnichannel platform to support rapid and cost-effective technology adoption, now and into the future.” added Vir.

    Veras Retail and Samsung Deliver Clienteling 2.0 Solution to Mobilize Frontline Retail Workforce on
    Cost-Effective, Ruggedized Business Tablets

    Veras Affinity’s New AI-Powered, Associate-Driven Clienteling Software on Samsung Galaxy Tab Active Pro Delivers Next-Level Customer Insights and Personalization

    January 12, 2020 – PHOENIX – Veras Retail, a leading provider of omnichannel technology solutions for enterprise retail, today introduced new AI-powered, associate-driven clienteling software, Veras Affinity. The new software is available for Samsung’s Galaxy Tab Active Pro, the cost-effective, ruggedized tablet from Samsung Electronics America, enabling enterprises to create a powerful new solution designed for any environment that will help mobilize frontline retail workers with next-level customer insights and personalization.

    By introducing the power of mobile technology into retail stores on a ruggedized device, the two companies are collaborating to help retailers capture, analyze, and present real-time, multi-channel customer data, which delivers key advantages to retailers. Research shows, the data associated with the frontline worker’s actions and interactions with customers and products is the richest and most valuable data in the organization. While all businesses have important organizational data, it will be those that take advantage of their frontline data that achieve a true and sustainable competitive advantage.

    An intuitive and empowering mobile tool for store associates, Veras Affinity offers an ultra-responsive, intelligent engine that helps anticipate and deliver on the customer’s wants, enabling store associates to better serve customers. Pre-defined preferences shaped by weighted, smart algorithms and ‘quick tips’ present relevant, time-based attributes like birthdays, anniversaries, back-to-school needs, and social media activity, to better equip store associates with highly personalized recommendations.

    “Retailers have an extraordinary untapped resource in their frontline sales associates, who know the merchandise and see how customers respond to it every day,” said Rohit Vir, CEO of Veras Retail. “Veras Affinity allows retailers to use the daily experiences of their store staff to refine product recommendations and personalize service wherever customers shop.” 

    Direct associate input gathered in-store, such as positive or negative attributes on product recommendations; or what drove a customer to buy an item, can easily be captured with a tap of a button.

    Samsung’s Galaxy Tab Active Pro running Veras Affinity delivers a strong combination of purpose-built ruggedness and customer analysis for retailers looking for a retail-hardened and user-friendly solution. The solution provides store associates a simple way of leveraging mobility to meet customers in the aisles or to drive sales while on the go. Affinity’s unique AI inputs create a differentiated brand experience to build life-long customers, who feel they are receiving personalized interaction with sales associates.

    Unique to Veras’ clienteling solution, Affinity captures nuanced data in a fun consumer app-like experience that trains the AI to make smarter recommendations and more meaningful interactions to drive sales. Furthermore, clienteling insights and recommendations can be converted into purchases directly from the tablet through Affinity’s integration with Veras Extend’s omnichannel selling and mobile POS capabilities.

    Meet Veras Retail at the NRF 2020: Retail’s Big Show at booth 1253 during exhibit hours from January 12-14, 2020.

    Veras Retail Announces New Customer-Centric Loss Prevention Features in its Leading Point-of-Sale Solution

    January 9, 2019

    The Integration of Appriss Retail’s Verify Solution with Veras CheckOut 10.2 Reduces Return Fraud and Abuse While Improving the Customer Experience

    January 9, 2019 – PHOENIX – Veras Retaila leading provider of fixed and mobile point-of-sale, inventory, cross-channel execution and CRM software solutions, today announced the release of Veras CheckOut 10.2. This release includes integration with solutions from Appriss Retail, the industry leader in retail performance improvement, to deliver significant ROI for retailers looking to improve customer service at the point-of-return.

    Integration with Appriss Retail’s innovative return authorization technology, Verify®, is now available in the latest version of Veras Retail’s leading point-of-sale solution. Veras CheckOut offers a powerful pricing engine, enterprise-wide visibility into inventory levels, and the ability to access customer information and orders across all selling channels. Users at the retailer’s headquarters benefit from real-time access to POS transaction information.

    Estimates of return fraud and abuse in the United States run as high as $24 billion per year, according to a 2018 report. For every $100 in returns, fraud and abuse costs retailers up to $6.50 in losses. The negative impact on a retailer’s bottom line is undeniable, but the combined Veras Retail and Appriss Retail offering provides a powerful and cost-effective solution to improve the return experience and combat fraud.

    Appriss Retail’s Verify solution uses actual, individual consumer behavior data to render a fair, objective decision to accept, warn or deny merchandise returns. The retailer no longer needs to rely on simple rules or subjective observations and guesswork by sales clerks. Verify is designed to distinguish and deter the one percent of consumers whose behaviors mimic return fraud or abuse. This creates a positive customer experience, since retailers can quickly approve all legitimate returns, while addressing only those consumers that present with highly suspect return-and-exchange behavior.

    Veras CheckOut also provides functionality to address a common friction point between loss prevention and customer service by allowing manager overrides to be deferred until the end of the transaction – or even approved remotely from a mobile device. This capability allows retailers to tailor their security policy in such a way that customers need not be inconvenienced by application of anti-fraud controls at the point-of-sale.

    “The balance between providing frictionless customer service and ensuring loss prevention has always been challenging for retailers,” said Bruce Herrier, Vice President of Veras Retail. “We feel that the new features in Veras CheckOut 10.2 give retailers the tools to strike a perfect balance between those two key business drivers and bring tangible ROI. For many customers, implementing Veras CheckOut 10.2 with Appriss Retail’s Verify can pay for itself within the first year of implementation.”

    The Appriss Retail ROI Calculator can help retailers determine the additional ROI Verify brings to their Veras CheckOut implementation.

    “Our retailer clients are pleased at the quick ROI from return optimization,” said Tom Rittman, Vice President of Marketing at Appriss Retail. “Veras CheckOut 10.2 with Verify already integrated into the solution ensures that retailers will see benefits immediately. They need to manage only one implementation to address multiple business issues, and every day faster is money in the bank.”

    Veras Retail & ACCEO Successfully Deploy POS Software & EMV Payment Middleware Solution in National Stores Locations

    Veras Retail & ACCEO Successfully Deploy Pos Software & EMV Payment Middleware Solution in National Stores Locations

    January 11, 2018

    PHOENIX – Veras Retaila leading provider of fixed and mobile point of sale, inventory, cross-channel execution and CRM software solutions, and ACCEO Solutions Inc., a leading North American IT company specializing in all aspects of electronic payment transactions, successfully implemented their respective point-of-sale software solution and payment middleware solution in National Stores locations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

    National Stores is a family-owned, California-based company that operates 355 locations under several banners including Fallas, Factory 2-U, Conway, CW Price and Anna’s Linens. It also offers brand-name and private-label clothing for men, women, boys, girls, juniors, and infants and toddlers, along with lingerie, shoes and household items.

    When the EMV liability shift was introduced in 2015 to prevent credit card fraud, all merchants were initially required to upgrade their POS systems by October 2015 to include chip-reader functionality. To comply, National Stores turned to Veras Retail and ACCEO for an in-store technology and internal processing systems overhaul.

    National Stores upgraded their existing JDA Store point-of-sale software, first installed in 2009, to the latest version of Veras CheckOut, a POS software solution known for its speed, efficiency and reliability. Built on a multi-country, multi-currency, multi-language foundation, Veras CheckOut facilitates a positive customer checkout experience through its seamless communication with a retailer’s enterprise systems. It helps drive key sales metrics without added shrink or loss by automatically executing targeted complex offers and upselling prompts.

    National Stores also selected ACCEO for their direct-to-processor solution, ACCEO Tender Retail, as well as its remote terminal management software. ACCEO Tender Retail is a semi-integrated, EMV-certified payment middleware solution that handles all aspects of electronic payment transactions – including the critical communication interface between the POS and transaction processor. The remote terminal management software, ACCEO Tender Retail Manager, enables a variety of centralized operations, including configuration changes, device firmware updates, device status reporting and customized alerts.

    Following an on-time and on-budget deployment, the Veras Retail and ACCEO Tender Retail solutions will power more than 1,700 terminals across all National Stores locations.

    “We knew we had to act quickly to comply with the EMV liability shift mandate,” said Daniel Skelly, Director of IT for National Stores. “It was critical to bring on partners that not only offered the best-possible POS and payment processing systems to meet these new liability requirements, but would also be able to keep pace with the evolving needs of our business. Veras Retail and ACCEO certainly delivered on that front.”

    Rohit Vir, CEO and Founder of Veras Retail added, “We believe in the power of the store. Our POS solution is used in more than 130,000 terminals in over 25,000 stores around the globe. We were thrilled to collaborate with ACCEO to deploy best-in-class software and systems at National Stores that will meet the liability standards and will also create a better in-store experience for shoppers.”

    Joey Vaccaro, Vice-President Business Development and Strategic Alliances at ACCEO added, “We are delighted that National Stores chose ACCEO as their expert payment solution partner. Successful deployments have been key to fueling our US growth, and we are very proud of our partnership with National Stores.”
