The recent collaboration between Henderson Technology and Alliance Supermarkets has resulted in the successful installation of the EDGEPoS platform across five of Alliance’s stores. This integration, completed within a remarkably short period of five weeks, equips Alliance with centralized control over their stores, simplifying essential processes such as ordering and stock management.
As an independent and locally owned supermarket with four stores in Jersey and one in Guernsey, Alliance prides itself on offering a diverse range of local and international products. From fresh produce and meats to household essentials and alcoholic beverages, Alliance strives to cater to the diverse needs of its customers.
Expressing his satisfaction with the new EPOS system, Ross Falla, the financial director of Alliance, highlighted the significance of their decision to partner with Henderson Technology. He emphasised the ideal fit of the system for Alliance’s operational requirements, coupled with the assurance of its provenance in the convenience market, developed by independent and company-owned retail outlets for their own networks. Falla expressed eagerness to leverage the complete capabilities of the system and looks forward to a fruitful collaboration with Henderson Technology.
Darren Nickels, the retail operations director at Henderson Technology, commented on the partnership, expressing delight in being selected by Alliance for the implementation of the progressive EDGEPoS system. He emphasised the system’s ability to seamlessly integrate Alliance’s supplier and operations database with their EPOS platform while efficiently managing the demands of their busy stores.
The successful integration of the EDGEPoS platform is anticipated to bring numerous benefits to Alliance, including the introduction of self-checkouts and Electronic Shelf Edge Labels (ESELs) at their Guernsey store. The implementation of these advanced technological features is expected to enhance the overall shopping experience for Alliance’s customers and contribute towards greater sustainability in their operations.
In conclusion, the collaboration between Henderson Technology and Alliance Supermarkets represents a significant step towards enhancing operational efficiency and customer experience. The successful implementation of the EDGEPoS platform at Alliance’s stores underscores the value of tailored technological solutions in the retail industry, demonstrating the potential for innovation and growth in the supermarket sector.
