TOSHIBA TEC wins with Repsol

September 9, 2010

Massive replacement order announced for PoS systems in Spain and Portugal

Repsol, the global energy company, has awarded its service station point-of-sale (PoS) system renewal programme in Spain and Portugal to TOSHIBA TEC.

Repsol operates through a network of over 9,000 service stations in Spain and Portugal with a total of 11,500 PoS terminals.

The four-year replacement programme includes a complex logistical roll out operation, staging and implementing localised hardware and software configurations as well as third-party maintenance.

Power-saving efficiency

The PoS provider said the principal reason why Repsol opted for the TOSHIBA POS system is its ruggedness, flexible connectivity, low energy consumption and a built-in RAID HDD option. The WILLPOS A20’s ultra-low-energy processor will, for example, provide over a massive 50% daily power saving (compared with previous models), dramatically reducing its running costs as well as CO2 emissions, it added.

Repsol prides itself in offering its customers top of the range services with high added value; the WILLPOS A20 built-in stereo speakers and an optional 12- or 15-inch customer facing touch-screen enables Repsol’s service stations to deliver interactive multimedia presentations/promotions at the point of sale.

Rugged and reliable features

The sealed design of the WILLPOS A20 underlines its ruggedness to resist spills and dust, along with support for solid state drives and memory that resist extreme shocks and temperature variations, according to the company.

Selecting the RAID option provides invaluable peace of mind, it added. Twin hard drives divide and replicate business-critical information. It also said the WILLPOS A20 also support solid state drives and memory. Without the moving parts of their predecessors, they can resist extreme shocks and temperature variations to deliver reliability, power savings and easy maintenance.
