LENEXA, KS--(Marketwired - Jan 6, 2015) - Balance Innovations has joined the Association for Retail Technology Standards (ARTS), a community designed to help retailers and solution providers work together on the latest industry technologies and innovations.

"ARTS provides a unique community that allows both retailers and vendors to interact, exchange ideas and be creative," said Todd Shutts, senior vice president of the advanced technology group at Balance Innovations. "We're excited to be a part of that conversation and work to provide retailers with solutions that will improve their operations."

Shutts added that one of the major benefits of ARTS membership is the reduced implementation costs and common framework for retailers and vendors, like the ARTS POSLog, which offers a standard for transmission of POS data.
