Kudos at CLIC Sargent: Just a very clever Till
£100,000 anticipated extra income from Retail Gift Aid claims is a start, but CLIC Sargent have found better control, easier lives for shop managers and shop volunteers, huge time savings and better management of bought in stock as Kudos' software is rolled out across their 28 shops. Kudos Software's retail solution for charity shops proved to be the right choice for Jeremy Lune, CLIC Sargent's Retail Manager. Why choose Kudos Software?Jeremy and his team chose Kudos Software's Charity ePos solution from a short list of half a dozen or so ePos till systems, all supposedly filling the same brief. In the end two main things swung the decision in Kudos’ favour: The second determining factor was that “Kudos was very competitive on cost – a necessary requirement both for our sector and in these very difficult times. We can’t be seen to be spending money unnecessarily when it has come from donations.” Bob Powley, Head of IT for CLIC Sargent, said that the response to the new till system has been unusually positive – mostly we find our volunteers don’t like change, but they have got the hang of it all very quickly, and our shop managers find that communication with Head Office is both easier and quicker. Although most till systems can produce reports, the fact that the Kudos till system collates all the data automatically, means that communication between the shops and Head Office is effortless, and the people in merchandising can keep an eye on what's selling and make more informed decisions. How did it work in practise?At CLIC Sargent’s Saltash shop there were a number of areas where the people on the shop floor agreed with those at Head Office. Chris Peters, the Store Manager, says that after a few hiccoughs, having the touch screen till with the large format buttons has led to far fewer keying mistakes. At first the often elderly volunteers were worried about the touch screen but Anya, her assistant, had the bright idea of issuing them all with rubber tipped pencils which have proved popular and means that they are all much more accurate when using the touch screen. They don’t think of it as a computer, just a very clever till. So charity shop volunteers, store managers, head office staff and strategic decision makers in the charity sector are all finding life improved and costs saved by Kudos Software's ePos system for charity shops. Add to that a projected gain of £100,000 pa from the same shops and it looks as if Clic Sargent made the right choice. |

Convenience Store Achieves 2% on Margin and Increases Business Productivity!When Johns of Instow installed Kudos Software's ePos solution, they expected it to help them manage the business from the point of view of stock and sales more effectively. It’s done that – and also produced a more impressive direct benefit - a 2% increase in margin.
"We buy more effectively and Kudos helps ensure that we always have the right stock on the shelves,” Anthony Johns explains, “in retail conveniencing the focus is on additional sales – a customer comes in for milk and buys 5 other products as well. If you haven’t got the core item, often you’ve lost the entire sale”.
Multi-buy offers and sales promotions are at the heart of Johns strategy here, and Kudos' software has met their requirements effectively. With a high customer throughput, Johns have used programmable touch screen tills to speed service at the point of sale and have categorised their products for more effective reporting. Fully Integrated Chip & Pin at the till cuts back office till reconciliations and simplifies cash backs for improved customer service, a big saving for a high throughput business. As there is never a need to key sales totals manually it also ensures that errors are eliminated ensuring a more efficient use of time.
The results - happy customers, a more profitable retail business and an easy to use ePos tilling system to run his business.
