Tesco Serving Better

PowerBase Helps Tesco Serve Customers Better.

Tesco is the first major retailer to roll out PowerBase mobile checkouts. 125 mobile checkouts have been distributed to stores throughout the UK, and will be used to serve customers during special promotions and seasonal activities, initially for fireworks throughout October and November. Cash Bases designed and built the workstations specifically for Tesco to fulfill ergonomic, security and branding requirements [including a customised cash drawer].

A Tesco spokesperson was very positive about this development and said “These Mobile checkouts will help us to serve our customers better during busy times of the year.”

The PowerBase workstations provide an uninterrupted power supply from which an EPoS terminal can be run all day, integrating with the back office via an RF network. The concept eliminates the need for data cabling or power points which allows for total flexibility in store layout. This in turn enables Tesco to position ‘full service’ pay points in the most effective locations, helping to reduce queue times and increase sales at the point of promotion.
