PCMS launches specialised till system for independent franchise retail group owned by Palmer and Harvey (P&H)

Mace convenience stores are now able to benefit enterprise electronic point-of-sale (EPoS) systems after retail software provider PCMS launched a dedicated version of its VISION BeanStore system for the symbol group.

The system has been designed for use by smaller groups of stores and acts as a wider business management tool. Through data capture processes, EPoS can support inventory management, sales and transaction analysis and ordering, as well as providing real-time reports at any time.

Last year, Palmer and Harvey appointed the company as its long-term strategic partner and PCMS has since taken over management of all Palmer and Harvey’s EPoS customers.

Extending till management capabilities

Richard Hayhoe, Palmer and Harvey marketing director, commented: “VISION BeanStore is the best EPoS system on the market for convenience store retailers. It really aids day-to-day business management by providing immediate sales figures, so that Mace retailers can make sure that every inch of shelf space is performing well. The inventory function also makes keeping shelves stocked-up quick and easy by linking directly to P&H’s ordering system. Using EPoS will free up Mace retailers and their teams and get them doing what they want to be doing - giving their customers brilliant service.”

Richard Goodall, group sales and marketing director from PCMS, comments: “Convenience is a very different marketplace to the multiples, led by entrepreneurs who run the entire operation themselves. Therefore, the benefits of EPoS as a business management tool are significant, but it has to be simple and suit their own business to get the maximum benefit. It is for this reason that we have developed a convenience-focused version of VISION BeanStore – utilising decades of developments made with tier one retailers and our knowledge of how Mace operates to provide a useable, multi-functional system.”
