PROJECT

Founded in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1981, Verifone is one of the world’s largest point-of-sale (POS) terminal vendors and a leading provider of payment and commerce solutions. With operations in more than 150 countries and nearly 6,000 employees globally, Verifone processes 7.6 billion transactions annually.

Verifone Carbon is a payment terminal that sets a new standard for a valuable and engaging consumer experience. It consists of two parts: a larger Android tablet facing the merchant and a smaller terminal with different kinds of payment functionality, such as Apple pay and payment through credit cards. These two devices are placed on a mobile base, which is used for charging the devices, printing receipts, and connecting to the ethernet.

REQUIREMENT

  • A developer portal that allows third-party developers to create customer and merchant facing apps
  • An app marketplace where these apps can be purchased
  • An estate owner portal to
    • Manage the estate (all the devices owned by the larger corporation)
    • Get an overview of the devices
    • Manage, create, remove and update merchants
    • Purchase apps for merchants
  • A merchant portal that allows merchants to see their devices and purchase apps
  • The ability to monitor and manage the devices

SOLUTION

  • WSO2 Enterprise Mobility Manager (WSO2 EMM, which is now significantly enhanced to provide enterprise IoT solutions and mobile device and app management in a single download via WSO2 IoT Server) uses individual device certificates to identify, authorize and authenticate new, blank devices using mutual Transport Layer Security (TLS).
  • WSO2’s enterprise mobility management capabilities are used for
    • Collecting device information, such as location data
    • Over-the-air (OTA) updates
    • APK installation/update/removal in the background
    • Remote locking, rebooting and factory resetting the devices
    • Debugging and sending Android logs to the server
    • Sending pop up notification to the tablet
  • Verifone’s legacy terminal management system uses WSO2’s enterprise mobility management capabilities to communicate with the Android tablet.
WHY WSO2?

WSO2’s 100% open source products provided the flexibility and customizability that catered to all their requirements, either out-of-the-box or by modifying it. They avoided vendor lock-in and are independent of anyone else because they have control over the source code. They were also able to easily integrate WSO2 technology with their existing terminal management infrastructure.
