The partnership pairs Crimson’s Scoria Point-of-Sale (POS) system with EVO’s payment processing and a variety of EMV-capable payment terminals for a solution that offers retailers a flexible and secure way to seamlessly migrate to EMV, protect cardholder data, and simplify PCI compliance.

“EVO’s payment processing capabilities coupled with Crimson’s POS expertise provides new and existing customers with a reliable, secure and cost effective payment solution,” said Crimson Director Angelo Kalpakis.

To kick off the partnership, EVO and Crimson team members are attending the 2017 Texas Package Stores Association’s Convention & Trade Show in Fort Worth, where they will introduce the new POS solution to liquor retailers.

“This is an ideal partnership,” said Jim Raftice, EVO President U.S. and Canada. “Crimson’s significant experience in the retail liquor environment and their knowledge of regulatory requirements makes them an excellent fit with EVO to offer an optimal payment solution for liquor retailers.”
