Marks and Spencer Roll Out

EPoS is moving at Marks & Spencer.

Marks & Spencer is one of the first UK retailers to trial PowerBase mobile workstations. The PowerBase concept eliminates the need for data cabling or power points which allows for total flexibility in store layout. This in turn enables Marks & Spencer to position pay points in the most effective locations.

“We are always trying to manage the balance between ‘selling space’ and ‘paying space’ and the PowerBase solution from Cash Bases has enabled Marks & Spencer store management to deploy tills where and when they are required to meet business needs. We used five mobile workstations in our flagship store at Marble Arch to support the periods of increased sales activity e.g. over lunchtime periods in our Food to Go sections and Lingerie and other fashion departments at the weekends, returning these areas to selling space when the mobile workstations were no longer required.”
Martin Joyce, M&S

The PowerBase workstations provide an uninterrupted power supply from which an EPoS terminal can be run, integrating with the back office via an RF network. Not only will they reduce queue times, they can also encourage impulse buys, at special promotions or at key locations such as outside changing rooms
