“Elavon operates the same platform across all our markets, which is really important: the ability to just pull data and run our operation in a consistent way, wherever we are or wherever our customer is.
“One of the great things about having a key relationship with a global partner like Elavon is the transferability of their core services to every facet of our operation. If the customer presents a card at the checkout terminal, that’s the same as writing in their card details on the website. It goes into the same channel of information.
“One of the things we’ve been able to deliver together with Elavon is a data foundation of payments… a wealth of almost real-time data on our payments for every store and country we’re operating in, telling us more than we used to know about our payments, our customers and a lot more that we can take to the business, to help make better decisions.”
