Reliable Networks, POS, and Devices for the Retail Floor
A POS terminal that drops out at 12:30 on a Saturday. Guest WiFi competing for bandwidth with the systems actually running the store. A network that behaves differently at every location because it was set up by whoever was available that week. Retail environments live or die on network reliability in a way most industries don't — every minute of downtime is a queue that isn't moving and a transaction that isn't happening.
What we cover for retail:
Reliable in-store and multi-site wireless, consistent across every location rather than reinvented store by store: Wireless Networks and HPE Aruba Instant On, which is purpose-built for exactly this kind of distributed retail deployment.
Mobile handhelds for stocktake, price checks, and click-and-collect fulfilment: Enterprise Mobility. This now extends to fixed POS terminals and self-service kiosks too, following Zebra's 2025 acquisition of Elo Touch Solutions..
Reliable in-store and multi-site wireless, consistent across every location rather than reinvented store by store. HPE Aruba Instant On is purpose-built for exactly this kind of distributed retail deployment.
Instant On's cloud management means new stores can be brought online with a consistent configuration pushed out centrally, rather than a technician manually setting up each site from scratch. If a store's connection drops, we can see it and act on it before it becomes a call from the floor.
Mobile handhelds for stocktake, price checks, and click-and-collect fulfilment, plus fixed POS terminals and self-service kiosks through Zebra's Elo product line — one partner across both.
That means your fixed and mobile retail technology comes from a single relationship rather than a POS vendor and a device vendor who've never spoken to each other. When something needs troubleshooting, we're already familiar with how the two are meant to work together.
RFID for loss prevention and real-time stock accuracy on the floor, so shrinkage and stock discrepancies are caught early rather than at the next stocktake.
Tag-level visibility also speed up stocktaking, turning a process that used to take a closed store and a full weekend into something closer to a scan sweep. For multi-site operations, that's consistency you can compare store to store, not just a single site's best guess.
Secure locking and overnight charging for handheld fleets across single or multi-site operations through Podloc.
For stores running multiple handhelds across shifts, Podloc gives you a clear system for who has what, reducing the quiet cost of devices that go missing or turn up flat at the start of a trading day. It scales the same way whether you're running one store or fifty.
Receipt, shelf-edge, and barcode label printing, supported and maintained as part of the same relationship covering your network and devices.
We supply and maintain the printers themselves — from receipt printers at the counter to shelf-edge and promotional label runs — so a jammed printer during a sale period is a five-minute fix, not a lost afternoon of trade.
Managed support across every site, from one contract rather than a different local provider per store.
That means consistent response times whether the call comes from your flagship store or your smallest outlet, and a single view of what's happening across your whole footprint rather than a different provider's notes for every location.
Capability Spotlight
RFID Solutions
Loss prevention and real-time stock accuracy on the floor. Tag-level visibility turns stocktakes from a full-day shutdown into a scan sweep, and gives you shrinkage data you can actually act on rather than discover at quarter-end. For multi-site retailers, it also means comparing performance store to store on the same reliable data.
Podloc Cabinets
Secure locking and overnight charging for handheld fleets across single or multi-site operations. Whether you're running one store or a national footprint, Podloc gives every location the same system for securing and charging devices between shifts, so accountability doesn't rely on staff memory. It's a small addition to an existing mobility rollout that closes a gap most retailers only notice once a device goes missing.
Enterprise Mobility
Handhelds, POS, and kiosk hardware through Zebra and Elo, one partner across both. Since Zebra's 2025 acquisition of Elo, fixed POS and self-service kiosks sit under the same ecosystem as the handhelds we already supply, so your fixed and mobile retail technology comes from a single, already-familiar relationship rather than two vendors who've never spoken to each other.
Can you support multiple store locations from one contract?
Yes — that's the point. One partner covering wireless, devices, POS, and support across every site.
Do you supply POS and kiosk hardware as well as the network it runs on?
Yes, through Zebra's Elo product line, which we supply alongside your network and mobility infrastructure rather than as a separate vendor relationship.
How do you keep handheld devices secure and charged overnight?
Podloc's locking and charging cabinets are built for exactly this — device security and fleet charging in one system.
Can you support a POS vendor we already use?
In most cases yes — talk to us about your current setup and we'll confirm our available support.
