Vodat International, the fastest growing supplier of telecom solutions and private managed networks to the UK retail market, have partnered with STS to strengthen their product portfolio to mid-tier UK retailers. The STS G8way solution will play a strategic part in a new and exciting solution being launched by Vodat later this year.

The Vodat International management team has been providing business solutions to the retail sector for over 20 years, and they are determined to provide a cost effective answer to the PCI-DSS challenges facing their customers.

Mike Bielinski, CEO, Vodat International explains "The harsh reality is, the onus is on retailers to comply with the PCI DSS regulations and it is retailers who face the cost of non compliance - not their suppliers. However, as a trusted supplier to over 50 high street retail companies across the UK, we are constantly being asked to help address this problem. We truly believe that by partnering with STS and using their innovative G8way product, we can do this, while providing added value to our customers."

STS are delighted to be working with Vodat who are committed to delivering innovative solutions to customers such as White Stuff, Faith and Hendersons (Spar in Ireland) backed by exemplary service.
