Digipos' ‘off the shelf’ solution met GAME’s strict deadline requirements.

DigiPoS Systems, has announced that GAME, Europe’s largest video games retailer has awarded DigiPoS, the leading Retail Solutions provider a £1.2 million contract to provide an EPoS solution and service for its 45 new stores.

GAME is currently implementing 125 leading-edge DigiPoS PowerPoS 1.2 systems across all new stores in the UK. The company has also selected DigiPoS to provide the chip and pin units, cheque/receipt printers and barcode label printers for all 380 UK stores. Vista, the services division of the DigiPoS Systems Group has been awarded the contract for installation and maintenance.

DigiPoS were selected, for their ability to produce a cost effective, high-end technology, ‘off the shelf’ solution that met GAME’s strict deadline requirements.

“We had several reasons for choosing the DigiPoS solution, but the most compelling reasons were price, short lead times and excellent technical backup.” said Richard Kent, Head of IT at GAME. “Our incumbent supplier had a 10 week lead time which was causing us major difficulties when the business management required IT to react rapidly to store acquisitions. DigiPoS were able to support our needs ‘off the shelf’ which has solved several issues for IT. They were also able to provide quick solutions to technical issues and meet the very short lead times we required. I am also pleased to report that the system is being enthusiastically accepted by both store and field staff.”

“We are delighted that GAME chose DigiPoS to solve its EPoS challenges,” said Ian Patterson, MD at DigiPoS Systems. "By selecting the powerful DigiPoS system as the hardware solution, GAME will ensure they stay at the forefront of retail technology, whilst delivering fast and efficient services to consumers across the country.”
