GNER takes stock with Torex

Supplier: Torex Hospitality & Leisure
More Torex Hospitality & Leisure details

In a deal worth over £2m, train operator GNER has signed an agreement with Torex Retail for the supply of a mobile electronic point of sale (EPoS) solution.

Each of the company's fleet of over 40 intercity trains running along Britain's East Coast main line from London King's Cross in the south to Inverness in the north, will be fitted with the OSCAR EPoS platform on multiple handheld EPoS devices.

The agreement is the latest in a series for Torex Retail in the transport sector, where the company already supplies point of sale terminals to train operator Virgin and a number of the European cruise and ferry operators.

The introduction of the system will speed up transactions whilst improving the delivery of services to passengers in line with its Passengers Charter.

Passengers can be served from their seat, rather than having to move to a fixed buffet car to buy food and beverages. Customers purchasing in this manner can be offered a receipt, a service designed to attract and retain business travellers and all those needing proof of purchase.

The purchase of the mobile EPoS solution (including fully integrated Chip and PIN) is said to have been ultimately driven by GNER's desire to gain an accurate view of sales levels and full control over the retail financials.

The devices offer it the chance to improve the integrity of stock data and reduce the incidence of over- or under-supplying a train with any given product line. With complete visibility of every transaction made, GNER can profile each route and use the available business intelligence for effective route planning and sales forecasting.
