ORLANDO, FL, Jul 25, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
RetailNow 2011 Booth #619 -- Expanding its role within the
distribution value chain, Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) today
announced Ingram Micro Merchant Services. The new credit card payment
processing services are being launched at RetailNow 2011, taking
place July 24-26 in Orlando.
Available now to Ingram Micro channel partners in the U.S., the new,
turn-key credit card processing offerings open additional revenue
streams for Ingram Micro resellers by making it easy and profitable
to sell merchant services as part of a new or existing point-of-sale

To drive demand and accelerate sales for Ingram Micro Merchant
Services, the distributor is rewarding channel partners with a large,
upfront incentive for each service sold, as well as an incremental
annuity stream that represents a healthy percent of the recurring
revenue residuals received from each customer.
"Ingram Micro Merchant Services is a high-value incremental service
for channel partners who sell to retailers and do business within key
vertical markets such as e-tail, grocery, hospitality, restaurants
and transportation," says Justin Scopaz, general manager, Ingram
Micro Data Capture / POS.

processing companies in the industry, Ingram Micro is bringing to
market a competitively priced service that spans our partner base,
offers a very lucrative incentive program and works to remove
additional back-office complexity for all parties involved in the
sale," says Brian Wiser, senior vice president, Specialty Solutions
Division, Ingram Micro North America. "Ingram Micro Merchant Services
is a great, business-building service that our channel partners have
been asking for and we're pleased to deliver."
