Practical requirements of chain store companies for technical equipment
Discounters and chains dominate large parts of the retail sector, whether companies operate their own subsidiaries or use franchise concepts or. These retail networks are not only defined by greater purchasing power but also by rationalisation effects through a certain degree of standardisation within their infrastructure. In subsidiaries in the retail sector, cash registers and POS systems play a special role.
Retail stores usually start to specify, tender and procure the various components required to record the goods sold themselves. Whether it is the recording of barcodes, RFID signals or a weight: In retail, the input must be protected from arbitrary use and consistently transferred to the actual POS systems. This in turn keeps the exchange with the local merchandise management system centralized, triggers electronic payment transactions and registers cash payments.
For integrating these heterogeneous device landscapes, the manufacturers of the components are rarely available. As with procurement, a retailer looks for one or more service providers for staging, rollout, warehousing, logistics, or on-site services, either regionally or nationally.
