Nisa marks 500th install of EPOS solution

Nisa marks 500th install of EPOS solution

Nisa has completed the 500th installation of its EPOS solution, Evolution at a Durham store.

John and Paul Hothi, owners of Nisa Local Hothi Birtley in Chester Le Street became the symbol group’s 500th partner to install the solution as they switched to Evolution to take advantage of Nisa’s free 2-lane system offer that was revealed at their virtual Expo back in October 2020.


“Nisa has really listened to its retail partners with the development of the Evolution system in regard to what they’re really looking for from an EPOS system - the attention to detail is fantastic and the system as a whole has come a long way from their older versions,” John said.

“Nothing was too much trouble for our Evolution trainer and the helpdesk staff were quick to solve any issues we called up with.”

The 500th install carries with it another significant milestone as Evolution has now served over 250 million customers and processed over £2 billion worth of sales.

“The EPOS team really have gone above and beyond to ensure we have everything we need, and the current offer is great value for money. I absolutely would recommend Evolution to everyone,” Paul said.

Jonathan Peaker, Nisa’s EPOS sales manager, commented: “We are delighted to count John and Paul among the growing number of Nisa partners that continue to see our state-of-the-art technology form an integral part of their growing businesses.

“Reaching this milestone install after such a tough year has felt like a real achievement for myself and the rest of the EPOS team. A great deal of work has gone into developing the latest system that continues to deliver results for our partners and provides them with a complete business management tool.

Nisa said the offer – which comprises tills, a back office PC and free installation - is still available free of charge to retailers looking to convert from other EPOS providers or upgrade or renew their existing Nisa EPOS system.
