The COVID-19 pandemic has led to seismic shifts in consumers’ attitudes, shaping irreversible changes in their habits, consumption patterns, and spending behaviors. Customer-centric industries such as retail and hospitality felt the effects of the global health crisis the most. In a world largely dominated by EMV payments, these industries are in a flurry to attain safe and compliant contactless payment solutions. Amidst the continuing safety concerns, consumers nowadays prefer contactless and mobile payments ahead of handling cash or touching POS terminal keypads. Catering to these needs is i3 Verticals, a leading provider of seamless, integrated payment and software solutions to small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs). i3 Verticals had even rolled out a campaign last year geared towards its business-to-business (B2B) retail customers to prepare them for reopening in this new normal. The company provided its customers with various hardware options interfaced with various software, all for attaining a seamless contactless payments infrastructure. "We deliver a broad suite of end-to-end solutions to our customers to make their business better and help them achieve success," says Scott Meriwether, COO at i3 Verticals. "Our aim is to be a one-stop-shop for our clients by offering them software, hardware, as well as services. We provide the customized software solution they need to help manage their business, whether it's through our proprietary software or by partnering with other software providers," he adds.

i3 Verticals enables businesses to thrive in today’s fast-paced market with flexible and customizable POS solutions. The company helps its customers improve their operating efficiencies, enhance revenues, and streamline their payment processing functions. Through its proprietary gateway, i3 Verticals offers its clients a single point of access for a broad suite of payment and software solutions.
