Nisa sees 26 per cent rise in EPOS installs

Nisa said the installs of its EPOS Evolution system hit record numbers in 2021, with the number of sites utilising the Evolution system now stands at 539.

The symbol group’s EPOS team successfully administered over 190 sales last year, which represents a significant 26 per cent rise in 2021 when compared with the previous year, making 2021 the most successful year in Evolution’s history.


“Throughout 2021, the Epositive team faced a lot of uncertainty as we navigated the ever-evolving world of IT that continues to be shaped by the Covid-19 pandemic,” Chris Chadwick, Nisa’s IT service delivery manager, said.

“And despite being faced with multiple hurdlesover the last 12 months we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve seen the largest growth in one year since Evolution launched in 2015.”

Installations saw a particular uplift in the second half of last year as many Nisa retailers opted to fit self-checkouts to provide a solution that allows customers to shop safely and in confidence amid rising Covid-19 cases.

“2022 is set to be a big year for us, with numerous exciting innovations and advancements in the pipeline that will help transform the way our partners do business. We look forward to sharing more announcements and hopefully milestones in the coming year,” Chadwick added.

Upwards of 180 Evolution installs are expected to be completed before the end of 2022.
