- DPD affiliate TIPSA adopts Rubean's softPOS solution on delivery drivers' smartphones
- First softPOS solution of its kind in Spain
- Implemented in collaboration with Rubean's partner BBVA
Munich, September 5, 2022. For the first time in Spain, a large company is utilizing Rubean AG’s softPOS solution, (ISIN: DE0005120802, WKN: 512080), Munich-based leading provider of software-based payment acceptance solutions. Based on the existing exclusive partnership with BBVA, one of Spain’s leading banks, Rubean can now offer their complete solution GetPAYD, which transforms Android devices – PDAs, handheld computers, tablets, or smartphones – into card acceptance terminals for managing their card payments or receiving payments, without the need for an additional device. The solution, a pioneering achievement in Spain, will be implemented immediately by express transport company TIPSA, an affiliate of the DPDgroup, a group of international courier-express-parcel service providers under the umbrella of GeoPost, owned by the French La Poste.
TIPSA will now offer this fast and convenient payment processing to its more than 30,000 customers and their recipients. In addition to improved convenience, the solution can avoid errors in collection and cash handling. The Rubean solution, which complies with all security standards in the payment industry, is particularly popular in the logistics sector. This solution developed jointly by BBVA and Rubean for the Spanish market efficiently solves the problem of card payments for parcel deliveries without the need for an additional device. The Rubean solution can be adapted to any business environment beyond the logistics sector that requires mobile payment solutions.
Javier Urizar, Director of Merchant Payments at BBVA in Spain, says, “We are very pleased to see innovative companies like BBVA, TIPSA, and Rubean collaborating to offer new, modern, and secure payment methods for such an important sector as transportation and logistics. This solution will help increase revenue, reduce costs, and improve the payment experience for customers.”
Dr. Hermann Geupel, Board Member of Rubean, adds, “This project is the first of its kind in Spain and will modernize the way people think about doorstep transactions. There is great interest in this type of technology across Europe, and being the first in Spain speaks to the innovative spirit of TIPSA. We are proud to have been selected as a partner and supplier alongside BBVA and look forward to a long-term collaboration. Corporate customers like TIPSA open up a very large market segment and new business models, where we not only charge a license fee for the software but also receive a portion of the transaction processing fees.”
Marisa Camacho, CEO of TIPSA, emphasizes that “thanks to this new solution, we are taking a big step forward in the quality of our cash-on-delivery services” and recalls that “our brand was one of the first in the industry to automate processes and create tailor-made services for e-commerce.”
