Henderson Technology has announced the 1,000th installation of its innovative EPOS system, EDGEPoS, at LA Foods on Uxbridge Road, London.
This milestone highlights the growing popularity and success of EDGEPoS, which was first piloted in 2011 and has since evolved into one of the most powerful and user friendly EPOS systems globally.
LA Foods, co-owned by Tabrez Hussain and his family, has a long retail history dating back to 1990 when his father established the business. Since the late 2000s, Tabrez and his brothers have expanded the company, which now operates 13 stores. The Uxbridge Road location, home to the 1,000th EDGEPoS installation, serves a diverse customer base and is dedicated to staying ahead of consumer trends.
The decision to implement EDGEPoS across all 13 stores was an easy decision for the business to make.
Tabrez Hussain said, “We chose EDGEPoS because we wanted a system that could make our store operations more streamlined and automated. The self-checkouts, suggested ordering, and electronic shelf labels (ESELs) were particularly appealing, and while we haven’t yet rolled out ESELs, we are excited about their potential.”
Since adopting EDGEPoS, LA Foods has witnessed significant improvements in operational efficiency. Automated ordering has freed up staff time for essential tasks like stock taking, ensuring accurate stock values and operational activities. “Features like automated ordering save time we can now spend on other tasks, such as regular stock takes,” Tabrez explained. “The reduction printers and digital handsets have also been invaluable additions.”
With a focus on convenience, EDGEPoS has transformed the shopping experience at LA Foods. From seamless transactions at reliable tills to maintaining consistent stock levels, the system has made shopping quicker and more satisfying for customers.
Tabrez added: “It’s reassuring to know that Henderson Technology has a strong foundation and that we are part of a large network of users. It gives us confidence in their long term support and future advancements.”
Darren Nickels, Retail Operations Director at Henderson Technology, said: “Reaching the 1,000th installation is a tremendous achievement, and we are thrilled that LA Foods is the business to mark this milestone. We are excited for their future and proud they chose EDGEPoS to drive their operations forward. It’s retailers like LA Foods that inspire us to continue innovating and delivering solutions tailored to their needs.”
For LA Foods, EDGEPoS aligns seamlessly with their business goals. “EDGEPoS has been transformative for our business, enabling us to streamline operations and improve efficiency while keeping up with modern retail trends,” Tabrez concluded. “It’s a robust system that aligns perfectly with our growth goals and gives us confidence in the future.”
Henderson Technology has established itself as a leader in the EPOS market, known for continuous innovation and partnerships. The EDGEPoS system, developed ‘by retailers for retailers’, is now one of the most feature rich and powerful systems globally. The company’s dedicated research and development team prioritises retailer feedback, ensuring the system evolves to meet the changing demands of the retail industry.
