The platform gives Filco full control of its nine stores from one central location

Filco Supermarkets has teamed up with Henderson Technology to roll out a new EPoS system across its entire estate.

The installation of the EdgePoS platform, which took seven weeks to complete late last year, will give Filco full control of its nine stores from one central location, helping to simplify processes such as ordering and stock control.

It is also expected to bring technological and sustainability benefits to shoppers, including self-checkouts and the integration of anti-food waste app Gander.

“We needed to upgrade our systems and when we were introduced to Henderson Technology, we knew we made the right decision,” said Matthew Hunt, director of the South Wales-based supermarket.

“As well as the system being ideal for our needs, we have the comfort of knowing its origins are based in the convenience market, built by independent and company-owned retail outlets for use in their own network.

“The project team ensured the smooth planning and transition as we rolled out the system to all nine stores. We look forward to using the system’s full capabilities and working with Henderson Technology for the duration of our agreement and beyond.”

Henderson Technology retail operations director Darren Nickels said: “After a competitive tender process, we are delighted to have been selected by Filco to roll out EdgePoS across its nine Nisa-supplied stores.

“The experienced team at Filco were looking for a progressive, future-proof, c-store EPoS system that could integrate their supplier and operations database with their EPoS platform, while at the same time coping with the demands of their busy stores.”
