See how easy it is to process a payment by credit card with No Contact using a handheld computer or mobile phone with Companion® Route alongside one of our credit card processing partners. The delivery person just needs to pick the credit card to use. All information is stored in a secured vault in the #cloud which the handheld connects to. For security reasons, the delivery person only sees the type of card and the last 4 digits.
