WHITELEY, England, Dec. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- InComm, a leading provider of integrated point-of-sale (POS) technology solutions to retailers, is pleased to announce a partnership with Edenred UK. Edenred is one of the leading providers of employee benefits and incentive solutions, improving the efficiency of organisations and making employees' lives easier.

Many well-known and popular gift cards, including Currys PC World, can be purchased through Edenred's Instant Savings eGift Card Platform, both on desktop and on mobiles. Providing new gifting and self-use options for their clients' employees, the launch of this platform enables employees to purchase gift cards online and via their mobiles for instant delivery and use in-store or online.

"The new eGift cards enable employees to save on purchases instantly on the go," Andy Philpott, Marketing Director at Edenred UK, said. "For employers, this will significantly increase employee participation with their benefit programmes."

Edenred is one of the first Employee Benefits providers in the UK to offer this product to its customers. InComm's extensive experience and historical success in delivering gift cards via online solutions in other countries is fully expected to be replicated through Edenred.

"With the demand from employees to have gift cards delivered instantly stronger than ever, our recent launch with Edenred is set to change the way in which employees purchase gift cards within the employee benefits market in the UK," said Frank Monaco, Executive Vice President of International, InComm. "It is a pleasure to work with forward-thinking companies such as Edenred. We are confident the digital delivery platform we have integrated with them will become a key and valuable route to market in the UK and look forward to supporting them further in additional countries in the near future."
