Why STEM is the Industry’s Most Advanced Terminal Management System
Managing payment terminals has traditionally been a complex and time-consuming process, with legacy systems relying on manual updates, scheduled pushes, and outdated device communication protocols. Charge Anywhere’s Secure Terminal Equipment Management (STEM) service revolutionizes terminal deployment, monitoring, and updates with an advanced, real-time cloud-based solution that ensures payment devices remain secure, optimized, and compliant—instantly.
The Problem with Legacy Push Updates
Legacy terminal management systems rely on batch processing and periodic push updates, causing delays, inefficiencies, and security risks for businesses that rely on up-to-date payment systems. The key issues with outdated push update systems include:
- Delayed Rollouts – Push updates are typically scheduled at fixed intervals, meaning critical security patches and firmware improvements take hours, days, or even weeks to reach all terminals.
- Device Downtime – Terminals must often reboot or be taken offline for updates, disrupting payment acceptance and creating unnecessary downtime.
- Incomplete Updates – If a terminal is offline during the scheduled update window, it misses the update until the next cycle, leading to outdated security protocols and software issues.
- Limited Monitoring & Control – Legacy systems lack real-time monitoring, meaning merchants and ISOs may not even be aware that an update failed or was never installed.
