Retail Solutions - EPoS boost for Ede & Ravenscroft

Ede & Ravenscroft - one of London's oldest retailers and a leading supplier of ceremonial, academic and legal robes - has contracted KPOS to provide an EPoS and head-office retail solution for its six stores, in London, Oxford, Cambridge and Edinburgh.

The solution comprises IBM SurePOS touchscreen tills, which are linked to a KPOS merchandising system at the Ede & Ravenscroft headquarters on Chancery Lane, London.

In addition, the solution includes a bespoke link from the merchandising system to the company's Web site, enabling the retailer to offer a full range of products to international customers via the Internet.

Founded in 1689, Ede & Ravenscroft sells on a reputation for a highly personal service. The retailer aims to improve upon this using the new system, which will enable it to have a better grasp of its inventory.

Ede & Ravenscroft retail director Paul Buckle said: 'We were delighted that KPOS could meet our unique business requirements with a proven solution that is easy to use, yet will retain flexibility to adapt and change with the needs of the business in the future.'
