Odd Birkenes, Director Value Added Services
Aera delivers approx. 7500 POS terminals with exceptional quality and stability, while ensuring cutting edge functionality and speed. In addition, the terminals facilitate easy linking of payment cards and loyalty programs, allowing consumers to seamlessly earn bonus points when they shop. The terminals also support the use of Aera Cards, which enables NorgesGruppen’s own payment cards to support a more cost-efficient payment scheme.
Trumf (NorgesGruppen’s loyalty program) is using multiple services from Aera: The ID look-up on payment terminals gives consumers bonus points automatically, redeeming of coupons and discounts by only presenting the payment card. The ID-look-up transaction is done before the payment transaction, without the customer noticing, since it’s all done in a few hundred milliseconds.

Online
To support NorgesGruppen’s focus on online shopping and home delivery, Aera has developed a simple and seamless payment engine that can easily be implemented into their online shopping solution. Online shopping is becoming a significant share of the total turnover, so it’s critical that settlement and reporting across channels are integrated.
