BS PAYONE and Retail Pro International equip Benetton flagship store in London with innovative mobile tablet POS solution (FOTO)

Frankfurt am Main (ots) -

BS PAYONE GmbH, a full-service payment provider based in Frankfurt
am Main, and Retail Pro International (RPI), developer of the
customizable, cross-platform Retail Pro POS and retail management
software, are equipping the Benetton Group's London flagship store
with a mobile POS and payments system that empowers the realisation
of their redefined retail experience. With the integration of the new
POS and payments solutions, associates are no longer tied to
conventional stationary cash registers but can complete sales
interactions anywhere on the sales floor, wherever they are engaging
customers. The pilot was successfully completed in March 2019.

For merchants, the new technical solution means unprecedented
flexibility for sales consultants who, thanks to the new mobile POS
system, can concentrate on providing comprehensive advice to their
customers: The intuitive operating system makes it easy for the
consultant to receive payments after the consultation and sales
initiation throughout the entire store, in addition to calling up
inventory, availability of articles or possible deliveries from the
branch network.

This is made possible by a handy duo with the lightweight CCV Fly
card terminal in combination with a smartphone or tablet: the
wireless integration of both POS components via a secure WIFI IP
address guarantees the highest possible speed, convenience and
security of the payment process. The receipt is printed on a receipt
printer and, if desired, sent to the consumer by e-mail. The sleek
store concept is designed such that the technology is completely
invisible to the consumer, and the retail experience remains central
in every interaction.

Niklaus Santschi, CEO BS PAYONE, explains: "Mobile POS solutions
allow merchants to boost their sales and enhance customer loyalty by
concentrating on personal contact and support. Customers benefit from
the intensification of personal consultation by store agents and from
the elimination of traditional queues at checkout terminals, which
often lead to a decision not to make the planned purchase."

Bill Colley, Senior VP of Client Services, Retail Pro
International, adds: "Working together with the talent at Benetton to
embody the brand's vision in Retail Pro Prism mobile POS has been
remarkable. The fusion of expertise between Benetton's IT, retail,
and design teams and Retail Pro has created a retail store technology
environment that truly captures customers' attention and helps
Benetton put their shoppers first."
