Payment processor Adyen will tap the expertise of analytics and consultancy firm TSG to help its merchants tailor payments applications to their needs. In related news, Valor PayTech is teaming with 4LeafLabs to create what it calls an affordable point-of-sale service for small businesses.
Adyen, a Netherlands-based processor initially known for its e-commerce capabilities that has since added POS equipment, says Omaha, Neb.-based TSG is now part of its Adyen Partner Ecosystem. Adyen merchants can now enlist TSG to help them devise payment frameworks.
Adyen says the addition of TSG to the program will help its merchants receive strategic guidance and engineering services to optimize their payment operations.

TSG also says its Technology Enablement service continues to grow. This service is designed to help acquirers, software companies, and enterprise merchants embed payments faster and ideally improve the return on that investment.
Among its capabilities are devising payment-processing setups and large-scale PCI-compliance programs. TSG says the service maintains integrations to 35 processing platforms.
Meanwhile, Valor PayTech, of Jericho, N.Y., says it is working with 4LeafLabs on a new suite of POS services for small businesses.
One of the four primary components includes POS software designed for Android devices that offers payment acceptance, inventory management, and QR code ordering and other features. Another is a kitchen display system, along with omnichannel order acceptance and self-service kiosks.
Valor PayTech says the new service will help its independent sales organization partners, “enabling them to deliver affordable, top-tier technology solutions that were previously out of reach for many businesses,” Josh Johnstone, Valor PayTech vice president of marketing, says in a statement.
