SolaaS - making EPoS affordable
Spreading the costs of an EPoS system over 3 years
Whether looking to implement EPoS for the first time, considering moving from an existing system or needing to upgrade ageing hardware, not having the working capital available can be a real issue and result in project delay.
We understand that the bottom line really is ... the bottom line
Our role is simple - providing retail systems to help you manage your business more efficiently and profitably
We can help.
SolaaS (Solution as a Service) is our scheme which dramatically reduces the typical upfront costs associated with implementing and running an EPoS retail system; avoiding project delay to receive the system savings and benefits, sooner rather than later.
How does the scheme work?
Traditionally, project and licencing costs for EPoS systems are payable upfront.
SolaaS is different, allowing you to spread these costs over the scheme's 3 year period with only certain costs due upon project commencement.
It is not a financing option; it is our own scheme and works on a licence-to-use basis.
