Do you believe mobile-based point-of-sale systems are better for small business transactions than traditional terminals?
Talus has released its ReadyPoint mobile point-of-sale application, which converts Samsung Galaxy hardware into payment terminals. The software leverages integrated SoftPOS technology to facilitate contactless transactions.
Why it matters
The platform offers a streamlined payment solution for contractors, retail businesses, and field service providers. By utilizing standard mobile hardware, it reduces the need for dedicated point-of-sale terminals in mobile workflows.
The ReadyPoint platform integrates SoftPOS technology—a system that uses mobile device NFC chips to process contactless payments—provided by Ingenico. This enables secure tap-to-pay capabilities directly through Galaxy phones and tablets.
The players
Talus
A payment processing provider that develops software solutions for business-to-business and retail transactions.
Ingenico
A global manufacturer of payment terminals and payment software technology for the financial services industry.
Samsung
A multinational hardware manufacturer known for its Galaxy series of smartphones and tablets used in enterprise environments.
The details
The application architecture allows businesses to transform commercial-grade mobile hardware into functional point-of-sale systems. By incorporating Ingenico's SoftPOS capabilities, the software securely handles encrypted payment data via the device's Near Field Communication (NFC) interface—the short-range wireless technology used for contactless data exchange.
Timeline
September 15-17, 2026: ReadyPoint was showcased at the Western States Acquirers Association Annual Conference.
September 21, 2026: The application became available through the Talus reseller channel.
The Tech Race
The emergence of SoftPOS on Galaxy devices follows the pattern set by Apple's Tap to Pay on iPhone in the mobile point-of-sale sector. This move expands the reach of contactless transaction technology beyond proprietary terminals and into the broader Android mobile ecosystem.
Businesses can now use existing Samsung Galaxy mobile hardware as portable payment terminals rather than investing in dedicated POS equipment. The software is currently available exclusively through the official Talus reseller channel.
The takeaway
This launch signals a broader shift toward software-defined payment hardware in professional service environments. Interested businesses should monitor the Talus reseller network for updates on deployment requirements.
