Retail Technologies Corporation (RTC) offers an in-store credit/debit/check authorization system that easily integrates with anyone's point-of-sale solution. The Windows based solution runs on the store server and routes transactions either through dial-up or over a Wide Area Network (WAN). RTC's solution provides you with the flexibility to directly communicate from the store to your preferred processor or through a central switch. Retailers are finding out the significant benefits of transaction processing over WAN's by centralizing their transactions:

• Faster check-out throughput due to 3-5 second authorization times
  
• Greater control over all credit transactions by getting away from local and regional service to a host-based central processor service
  
• Increased profits through better transaction rates gained by leveraging a variety of potential processors for your credit business
  
• Faster turnaround on funds. In most cases within 24 hours
  
• Real time reporting for accountability of the credit processor

In addition, Retailers are realizing all of the intangible customer service (CRM) benefits that a WAN can bring. Retailers can use their WAN and central switch to route credit cards, debit cards, checks, and private label cards to any external third party provider in seconds. It also provides you with the flexibility to instantly respond to requests for approval or updates on things such as gift card balances, frequent shopper databases, check cashing files, gift certificates, merchandise credits and much, much more.
