One way to judge technology is by its flexibility. A system should work efficiently, as promised out of the box. Beyond those basics, however, is the much more subtle ability to meet unforeseen challenges. It is the difference between the employee who knows a manual backward and forward, compared to the one who can improvise a solution in a pinch. In an ideal world, you want some combination of both.
Such is the case with the PayRange’s mobile payment solution. The three-year-old system that allows fast secure payment via smartphones has already gained an enviable reputation in a variety of applications that include full-line vending, amusement and laundry machines — all straightforward applications. However, where PayRange really proves itself is in its ability to improvise in creative partnership with gameroom management or amusement street operations. This is no small thing considering the vastly different operating principles and environments involved.
