Snappy Shopper confirms EPOS firm MSP Systems as eighth retail partner

Snappy Shopper confirms EPOS firm MSP Systems as eighth retail partner

Home delivery app Snappy Shopper has partnered up with EPOS solution, MSP Systems.

MSP Systems, part of the MSP group is an EPOS solution for retailers founded by Romesh Perera who has been a successful retailer in the industry since 1989. Romesh has worked through the ranks, starting his role part time as a night cashier in a Texaco Petrol Station whilst studying. He became self-employed, venturing into a retail operator scheme with ESSO at a petrol station in East London. At the same time, he acquired his own convenience store that was operated under Costcutter. A second store quickly followed that became the first Budgens independent store, soon after he acquired the first independent franchise store for Somerfield.


With Romesh’s experience, the EPOS system is designed with a retailer at its core. A simple to use, time-saving system which provides retailers with an easy way to control stock and identify and allow price changes. An EPOS system that best fits a retailer’s store will be vital in it running to the best of its ability as we navigate this year.

“We’re really proud to be selected by another EPOS firm, cementing our eighth retailer partner,” said Snappy Group Co-Founder and CEO Mike Callachan. “It’s a great start to 2024 following our recent IPOSG news. Together with MSP we want to work to support the retailer community, helping them to save time – and make more money. The fact that MSP was founded and built up by a retailer, Romesh Perera, showcases to us the expertise behind the EPOS system with a retailer front of mind.”

Romesh Perera, MD of MSP Systems, said: “It is with great pleasure that we announce our integration with “Snappy Shopper”. We see the potential for our clients to further compete in retailing. MSP has been in the forefront of software innovation and new integrations like “Snappy Shopper” that has credibility in the digital marketplace. This integration will help independent retailers to compete and flourish in this digital era. We are glad that we have made this into reality and together we look forward to giving power to the retailers in the independent convenience sector.”
