3. With the global pandemic upending
the way people shop, many of the
issues are being addressed by
retailers with automatic doors and
sanitizing shopping carts between
uses. Consumer research done during
this time by the Food Industry
Association and Hartman Group have
yielded results that support the
outcome many currently suspect.

4. Do shoppers think their COVID-19
shopping behaviors will continue? Most grocery stores, pharmacies and other
retailers are addressing concerns by sanitizing
high touch points for cross contamination,
upgrading to automatic doors, sanitizing
shopping carts between uses, and creating
barriers between customers and staff. One issue
that has not been addressed has been
debit/credit terminals.

Pain Points
5. The point of sale terminal market was valued at
USD 74.82 billion in 2019, and it is expected to
reach USD 176.31 billion by 2025, witnessing a CAGR
of 16.21% during the forecast period of 2020-2025.
Since the beginning of the pandemic Mastercard
has seen a 40% increase in contactless payments
as people push away from cash.
Pain Points
6. This already massive and growing market
requires a method to ensure devices are
clean and safe to use.
We’ve developed a touchless sanitizer
that operates between consumer uses to
remove >99.99% of contaminants
including viruses and bacteria within 20
seconds.

7. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation [UVGI] is
a disinfection method that uses
short-wavelength ultraviolet light to kill or
inactivate microorganisms by destroying
nucleic acids and disrupting their DNA,
leaving them unable to perform vital
cellular functions.
What is Uvgi?
8. The terminal sterilizer is a cutting edge
solution for safely sterilizing credit/debit
terminals. Our design prevents cross
contamination between users. The
sterilizer eliminates bacteria and viruses
after each use without the need for touch,
eliminating bacteria and viruses within 10
– 20 seconds utilizing ultraviolet
germicidal irradiation.
