ICT for retail: overview

Frequently asked questions
What ICT does a multi-branch retailer in Zambia need?
Reliable connectivity and networking at every branch, secure and integrated payment handling, cybersecurity to protect customer and payment data, and consistent, managed IT support across locations. Ontech delivers these as a connected, centrally-managed solution.
How can retailers integrate mobile-money and card payments?
Through payment integrations that connect point-of-sale and business systems to payment providers and mobile-money platforms via secure APIs. Ontech builds and supports these integrations so payments are fast, secure and reconciled automatically.
