Nisa revealed a significant EPOS development at its annual Expo yesterday that aims to support multisite retailers in simplifying their business operations.
The Evolution Multisite solution, which features an intuitive head office application that communicates with multiple branch sites, has been specifically developed based on retailer feedback.
Nisa’s IT Service Delivery Manager, Chris Chadwick said: “We are thrilled to finally be launching the Multisite solution after several years of development as we know this new system will be hugely valuable to Nisa retailers operating more than one store. Multisite enables an entire estate to be managed from one single, easy-to-use platform, revolutionising the way retailers currently operate.”
Key features of Multisite include a customisable dashboard which alerts users to areas that require attention and highlights metrics to facilitate quick monitoring. There are also automated pricing strategies to ensure margins are maintained and build logic of how retailers wish to manage their pricing across different commodities and multiple stores.
“Centralised pricing and reporting provides the tools to easily range and manage promotions, minimising administration and freeing up crucial time for busy staff members, which will be extremely beneficial as we move into a busy winter of trade,” added Chadwick.
The system will enable retailers to analyse their business by individual store, group of stores or as a whole, whilst offering automated head office and branch communication and auto-generated range additions such as substitutions, presells and allocations.
As well as the Multisite solution, Nisa will also soon be introducing a new ‘Zebra’ device to its retailers which aims to simplify stock management using the latest technology through the Nisa app.
Much like a mobile phone, the small handheld device plays host to a raft of functions, including ordering, price checking, reduction label printing, goods receiving and more.
“The team has been taking on board retailer feedback and working hard over the last 12 months to streamline the service it provides to the Evolution estate. We are all extremely proud to be involved in this modernisation and look forward to seeing our retailers reap the rewards,” said Chadwick.
