East of England Co-op has completed its roll out of EDGEPoS, the award-winning global software system from Henderson Technology, at five forecourt sites.
Located in Felixstowe, Colchester, Brightlingsea, Ipswich and Framlingham, EDGEPoS has been installed in two tills per site, and fully integrated to receive fuel sales.
Implementing EDGEPoS has meant there is now a direct product feed from the central database to the forecourts. Membership cards can now be accepted along with employee discount cards. The forecourt sites can also streamline the customer accounts process, and store colleagues have increased visibility of Drive Off and No Means To Pay transactions.
James Norman, Chief Finance Officer at the East of England Co-op said: “We were very motivated to switch to EDGEPoS as the system ticked all boxes for us. Being able to extract data and use it to understand what customers on our forecourts are actually buying is vital especially in today’s competitive marketplace. We are now able to provide consistency in our offers, across our food stores and forecourts so we can provide our members and customers the best value whenever they shop with us.”
