(PSMS), a wholly owned subsidiary of PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE: PAR) and leading provider of guest-centric hospitality management systems, today announced that SpaSoft® Spa and Activity Management System Version 3.2.2.0 has been certified to connect with Fusebox, Elavon’s hosted payment gateway. Using Elavon’s hosted payment gateway, Fusebox, SpaSoft Spa Management solution can now connect to a variety of payment processors, eliminating the need to conduct multiple direct-processor certifications, and simplifying upgrades and enhancements since Fusebox is hosted in secure data centers. Additionally, the Fusebox certification extends peace of mind to SpaSoft’s customers, with advanced tokenization which replaces actual cardholder data with unique Token IDs , allowing some of the costs and complexities related to PCI Compliance to be mitigated. “With Elavon’s Fusebox, we deliver cost saving benefits to our customers while also helping to insure the security of cardholders’ information with advanced tokenization,” said Victor Vesnaver, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing for PAR Springer-Miller and SpaSoft. “In today’s fast-paced business environment, flexible payment solutions with added security for cardholder data are a business imperative that we are very pleased to extend to our customers.” Elavon’s President of North America, Tom Boyer, said: “Enabling commerce for our customers and partners through the delivery of flexible secure solutions is core to our mission. As the hospitality industry as a whole looks to move critical payment processing to secure data centers while capitalizing on the burgeoning Software as a Service industry, Elavon is focused on delivering hosted payment gateway and tokenization solutions that can help.” Designed to meet the evolving needs of businesses, Fusebox addresses security and risk concerns, connectivity, flexibility and simplicity.
