Sydney 21 November 2013: Epson, a world leader in POS hardware, has
released a range of intelligent retail POS systems with the launch of new device
terminals that are at the centre of a platform-independent multi-channel mobile
and cloud-based shopping experience.
“The business model for traditional stores is under siege. With the rapid
take-up of personal mobile devices customers are expecting faster checkout from
anywhere in the store, personalised offers and promotions, immediate access to
product information and more, and all in a package that is seamless and consistent
across channels,” said Craig Heckenberg, Business Unit Manager for Epson
Australia.
“Epson’s TM-Intelligent device terminals bring retailers the power
of platform-independent, mobile, web/cloud based services, and multiple peripheral
connectivity in one compact footprint without needing to upgrade existing systems,”
said Craig.
The new additions to Epson’s TM-Intelligent POS range - the TM-T88V-DT and
TM-T70II-DT - are device terminal hubs with increased processing power and storage
and are equipped with an internal Apache web server, Windows® Embedded POSReady
and ePOS-Device, enabling retailers to take full advantage of customised web-based
applications and thin client solutions.
The TM-Intelligent DT Series feature Epson’s unique ePOS-Print technology
that enables browser-based printing from any mobile device, with no drivers to
install. ePOS-Print technology provides seamless communication between the receipt
printer and mobile devices anywhere in the store.
“Epson’s proposition with its TM-Intelligent terminals is to deliver
a web/cloud based, driver-less and PC-less solution that supports customer-centric
applications while enabling direct interaction with multiple mobile and tablet
devices, providing cost effectiveness, convenience and enhanced customer interactivity
at the point-of-sale,” said Craig.
“These TM-Intelligent terminals are POS agnostic and can be added to any
existing systems without requiring a system overhaul or upgrade to implement the
new functions.”
Ideal for retailers moving from legacy systems or enhancing current POS solutions
to a full web/cloud based environment, the TM-Intelligent DT series has a built-in
controller that can connect and control various POS peripherals like scanners,
cash drawers, scales, MSRs displays, etc, via the application interface.
The TM-T88V-DT and TM-T70II-DT are standalone terminals that don't need a connection
to a PC or POS terminal, eliminating unnecessary hardware, cutting energy usage
and reducing maintenance and servicing expenses.
Along with Epson’s renowned reliability the TM-T88V-DT has local storage
that can be used to support distributed POS applications and databases - so if
the network becomes disconnected, sales won't stop.
The TM-T70II-DT is the smart choice for retailers looking to implement mobile
POS, web-based POS configurations and kiosk applications in spaces that require
an ultra-small footprint.
Epson’s TM-Intelligent retail applications include mobile POS for queue-busting
fast checkout, web POS/thin client POS terminal applications, delivery of coupons
and loyalty programs, presentation of comprehensive and easy to read store analytics,
and managing kiosk information display.
Additional hospitality applications include kitchen/back of house displays and
kiosk checkout management, while for grocery stores added applications include
product and inventory information displays and personalised offers and promotions.
The TM-T88V-DT and TM-T70II-DT are available through authorised distributors and
systems integrators.
