New supermarket, Haldanes Stores, has selected VoiteQ's VPoS solution.
The company, which will be opening its first store at Prestonpans on 18 November, has taken over four ex-Somerfield outlets in Scotland, with plans to rapidly expand over the next few months. The first store will be running the VPoS solution on touchscreen tills with multi-media customer displays. The solution will then roll-out across Haldanes Stores' entire estate. The fully integrated end-to-end system will provide the retailer with central control of all pricing, promotions and range, as well as giving greater visibility of stock in store and overall stock holding. It will, in addition, provide valuable information and central control on the selling patterns of different products and greater control of cash and banking information. The solution also includes a Third Party Interface to enable product updates, electronic ordering and delivery confirmation from their chosen wholesaler, Nisa-Today's.
Haldanes Stores will implement VoiteQ's CentriQ business management system, enabling them to manage the stores and over 15,000 products from their head office in Grantham and the satellite office in Broxburn, along with the VPoS application at the first store in Prestonpans. The next three will be installed one per week; the additional stores are planned for completion by Spring 2010. Additionally VoiteQ's DataManager system which will be centrally installed, but can be accessed anywhere via an internet connection, will allow them to analyse sales on a daily and weekly basis, manage store stock levels and to interrogate the receipt archive to identify potential fraud issues.
