C&K Market Deploys Payment System

BROOKINGS, Ore. — C&K Market here has deployed Connected Payments, a cloud-based, software-as-a-service payment-processing system, across its Ray’s Food Place, Ray’s Shop Mart and C&K Market banners.

The system — provided by Dallas-based Retalix, which also supplies the chain’s POS software — will help C&K Market better manage compliance-related transaction data, while improving overall POS efficiency and reducing costs, according to Alan Nidiffer, chief information officer of C&K. The system’s subscription-based model eliminated all of C&K’s up-front license costs.

“We wanted to effectively meet increasing PCI standards, and Connected Payments provided the best solution because it actually removes all cardholder data from our stores,” said Nidiffer, in a statement. “The result is optimal transaction data security. In addition, Connected Payments has helped us reduce our electronic payments costs overall, and it provides centralized reporting that improves our operational performance.”
