Henderson Technology launches new remote store analysis tool

Henderson Technology, the UK’s leading EPOS software provider, has announced the launch of EDGEPoS Analytics, a new tool for quick remote store analysis.

EDGEPoS Analytics is now available to all EDGEPoS retail customers across the UK. EDGEPoS Analytics is a tool for quick analysis. It provides an overview of the data from inside a store, accessible from anywhere remote through any modern browser on desktop or smart device.


EDGEPoS Analytics takes the data from the EDGEPoS back office once a day and holds up to two years of historical data for evaluation and comparison.

When the user logs in, they are presented with dashboard data which includes sales, margin, average spend, basket-size, transactions, YOY comparative sales, top departments, top 10 lines, and operator stats. This is all shown in an easy to read, graphical format.

A reporting facility is also available on EDGEPoS Analytics, where store and site owners can generate, email and schedule reports automatically from the Analytics dashboard.

Darren Nickels, Retail Technology Operations Director at Henderson Technology, said, “We understand retail and how owners and managers are not always instore to get the data they need. As a result, we developed EDGEPoS Analytics so timely information can be accessed from the EDGEPoS system.

"We have partnered with Limitless Insights to develop a cloud-based platform, connecting the customer to transactional data from the EDGEPoS back or head office. We have prioritised what retail data owners want and placed it into this quick, easy to use and intuitive tool.

Nickels added: “We are delighted to be able to offer Envisage to all our EDGEPoS customers across the UK. EDGEPoS Analytics and Envisage are great examples of how we understand the retail environment and it is our continued ambition to be the most progressive and future proofed EPOS software system in the UK. We would encourage any convenience or forecourt retailer to contact us today for an EDGEPoS demonstration.”

C-store body demands separate multipliers to help retailers invest in businesses

A 5p reduction in business rate multiplier will save convenience stores thousands of pounds per year which will help retailers invest in their businesses, ACS Government Relations Director Edward Woodall has said while giving evidence to a Committee of MPs in parliament today (11).

The Non-Domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) Bill intends to introduce higher business rates multipliers for the largest business properties (those over £500,000 in rateable value) and lower multipliers for retail and hospitality businesses. Following the Budget, the business rates discount for retail and hospitality businesses is reducing from 75 per cent to 40 per cent in April.

One of the considerations of the Bill is the level at which the new retail and hospitality multiplier could be set at. The small business multiplier is currently set at 49.9p, while the standard non-domestic rating multiplier is set is 54.6p.

During the evidence session, Woodall told the Bill Committee that to make a tangible difference to local shops and other businesses, the new multiplier should be set up to 20p lower than it is currently which would result in savings of thousands of pounds a year for essential retailers that could be put to use effectively.

ACS Government Relations Director Edward Woodall said, “The vast majority of convenience stores would benefit from the new retail and hospitality multiplier. For a retailer that sits just outside the threshold of small business rate relief at £15-16k rateable value, a 5p reduction in the multiplier would save them around £1,000 per year while a 20p reduction would save over £3,000 a year.

"This is a significant sum to help retailers invest in their business, either defensively on crime prevention and detection, or positively in their community.
