This includes developing an omnichannel consumer experience that enables payment capabilities for a growing number of connected devices such as emerging wearable technologies, vehicle infotainment systems, and more.
“P97 has established itself as a true innovator in transforming digital engagement for commerce,” said Matt Andrews, Executive Vice President, Site Solutions, PDI Technologies.
The acquisition of P97 Networks follows other recent acquisitions completed by PDI, including Nuspire and Comdata Merchant Solutions, which have extended cybersecurity offerings to the automotive market and POS capabilities to commercial fueling, respectively.
