After a Preview at EuroCIS in Germany in February, the AURES<br />
Group will introduce sango – its new integrated EPoS terminal<br />
– during RBTE. Designed and developed entirely by EPoS manufacturer<br />
AURES, sango is a completely new concept of all-in-one<br />
till management systems; one of its many unique features is to<br />
completely free-up the space under the touch screen.<br />
“Our latest EPoS combines purity in design and lightness, while<br />
remaining impressively robust,” explains Patrick Cathala, AURES<br />
Group CEO and founder. “The gamble of creating an integrated<br />
system where the screen would be suspended, as if weightless,<br />
was made possible by using high quality materials, cast<br />
aluminium and polycarbonate.<br />
“The final impression is one of a beautiful and contemporary<br />
terminal, totally in line with current design; the free space<br />
available under the screen is also a response to a number of our<br />
customers, who require more room on the checkout desk …”.<br />
One of the biggest challenges retailers face in today’s highly<br />
competitive market is delivering outstanding customer service<br />
which requires having the product a shopper wants, when they<br />
want it, where they want it, and at the price they are willing to<br />
pay. Today’s tech-savvy, increasingly less brand-loyal shopper<br />
who uses multiple channels to create a shopping plan and<br />
execute purchases is making it more difficult for retailers to<br />
predict and plan for consumer behavior. Retailers need to solve<br />
this complex problem while minimising capital tied up in inventory<br />
and, at the same time, maximising revenues and margins.<br />
Meeting this challenge requires changing internal planning and<br />
execution processes and leveraging technology.<br />
RBTE preview<br />
For nearly two decades JustEnough (stand 662) has focused<br />
on helping retailers, distributors and brand owners to meet<br />
this customer service challenge. “At this year’s RBTE we will be<br />

we are helping more than 500 of the world’s leading brands<br />

and inventory; shape their demand and then execute on those<br />
plans. Our merchandise financial planning, assortment planning,<br />
price and markdown planning, promotion management, allocation<br />
and replenishment solutions are available both OnSite and<br />
OnCloud.”<br />
