Payment Processing: ACE Hardware Gain Control Over Payment Processing using Flexible ProtoBase Software Solution

Oh what a feeling it is for a merchant to know – and to exercise at will – the level of control that Robert and Susan Shor have over his payment processing relationships. That freedom of choice was achieved with a wise investment they made to their POS system not so long ago.

In 2000, the couple changed to an integrated credit card system for their two store operation. In a key move, they integrated ProtoBase Software with its powerful, "one-to-many" major Third Party Processor flexibility into an existing ACE PACE POS. Robert and Susan both envisioned the need for a powerful and scalable solution because they had a game plan for rapid growth in Miami.

As the number of stores grew to three, Robert and Susan saw the need to again make a significant system change. In 2003, given their experience with ProtoBase Software, they pioneered the integration of ProtoBase eXpress SoftwareSM in an Advantage Business Computer Systems POS solution. They had ordered the integration of scalable ProtoBase Software into a new POS system that linked to a new payment processing partner over a high-speed Internet connection.
