Valista, a leading independent provider of merchandising, payments and settlement solutions, has announced that more than one million transactions per day are now being processed through its Valista Plus solutions suite. The milestone represents a 25% increase on last year. The company makes the announcement as it prepares to showcase the solution at the 3GSM World Congress 2007 in Barcelona.
The Valista Plus suite of solutions and services supports the end-to-end business processes in the digital commerce value chain. These include multi-channel ordering, merchandising, authentication, payments, settlement, delivery, and post-purchase care. All Valista‘s solutions support multiple access channels and payment models including integration with billing and prepay systems, credit card and banking networks, stored value, person-to-person (P2P), proximity payments and loyalty schemes. Valista solutions are available as licensed software or as a managed service.
One of Valista’s most successful customers is w-HA, a subsidiary of France Telecom. Using Valista’s payment infrastructure (PaymentsPlus), w-HA records an average of 450,000 transactions per day. In partnership with Valista, w-HA operates the first interoperable, multi-carrier, multi-channel and multi-currency internet and mobile payments community. w-HA hopes to commercialise its payments service globally to internet and mobile operators, merchants and retailers, using Valista’s technology. w-HA’s international payments network is experiencing significant growth, with over 1500 participating digital and real goods merchants, mobile operators and Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The number of active users purchasing digital goods and services on w-HA’s network has increased to more than 13.5 million.
According to Raomal Perera, CEO, Valista; “The fact that our customers collectively achieved record transaction volumes in 2006 is leading companies to us to learn how they can replicate this success. We are seeing increasing demand for intelligence in this niche area, which is not currently addressed by other companies in our field.”
Valista Plus will be showcased at Enterprise Ireland Pavilion, Hall 1, Stand 1F17 at 3GSM Barcelona (12-15 February).
