EDGEPoS installed at refurbished Checkout Supermarket store

Henderson Technology has installed their award-winning EDGEPoS retail system into Checkout Supermarket in Wimbledon, London.

The first phase of the refurbished store took place this week with the EDGEPoS Electronic Shelf Edge Labels also added.


Developed for the convenience and fuel forecourt market the EPOS software system offers a fully scalable, real-time solution supporting businesses from one to one hundred lanes.

Darren Nickels, retail technology operations director at Henderson Technology said: “We are extremely proud that the Checkout Supermarket in Wimbledon has chosen EDGEPoS in this prime location. EDGEPoS delivers all of the features that the store requires to cope with the busy demands in-store.

"In addition, we have been able to provide our innovative products including Electronic Shelf Edge Labels and the store will also be launching our Self-Checkouts in the near future. We look forward to a long working partnership with the team onsite.”

Management at Checkout Supermarket added: “We are delighted with the first phase reopening of our leading convenience store. We chose EDGEPoS as the EPOS system for the store as it had all the security features that we were looking for.

"Henderson Technology were able to install the system in the timescales required to fit in with the project, along with the ESELs; and are managing phase two of the project which will take place before Christmas 2020 when we will be able to offer seven lanes in-store, including two self-checkouts to meet the demands of our customers.

“The install and training team at Henderson Technology have supplied a completely seamless, non-disruptive install from start to finish and we can’t thank them enough for their service and support throughout the process.”

Safer alternatives to cigarettes could save millions of lives and billions of pounds, says think tank

The think tank argues that the UK government's current approach to achieving a Smoke Free 2030 - defined as reducing smoking rates to 5 per cent or lower - is both illiberal and unworkable and will significantly set back progress against smoking related harm. The ASI warns that policies such as a generational tobacco ban, a new tax on vapes, and restrictions on heated tobacco products and flavours will hinder harm reduction efforts.
