The
Nutri Centre’s Natural Choice for Reliable POS Technology
from Triple SoftwareCompany
 Background
In 2001 The Nutri Centre began a collaboration with Tesco,
the UK’s number one retailer.
Tesco had identified that its customers wanted an increased
range of alternative medicine products, together with more
information on natural products promoting healthier lifestyles.
The Nutri Centre’s extensive product range and reputation
for excellence provided Tesco with the ideal partner.
The Solution
In 2002, when the decision to launch its shop-in-shop concept
within Tesco’s flagship Kensington store was taken,
The Nutri Centre looked for a point-of-sale (POS) supplier
with a shared commitment to providing reliability, combined
with high standards of customer service and the ability
to manage multiple suppliers and products. As a highly customer
focused company, The Nutri Centre needed to be certain it
would provide excellent levels of in-store service.
Renowned for its specialist expertise in the natural products
industry and unique understanding of the industry requirements,
Triple Software was the natural choice of POS solution provider
for The Nutri Centre. Triple Software recommended their
Shopmaster Micropos software on Toshiba POS terminals. Prior
to the opening of the first Nutri Centre shop within Tesco’s
Kensington store, two alternative hardware suppliers were
considered.
Although a cheaper competitor's hardware model was also
evaluated, The Nutri Centre selected the Toshiba hardware
following a successful trial. Triple Software recommended
Toshiba ST-6500 modular terminals due to their proven quality
and long term reliability, especially the ST-6500’s
robust and versatile design which integrates power and connectivity
into a very small footprint to optimise essential selling
space.
Triple Software has worked with Toshiba for many years
to optimise its Micropos software to run with Toshiba hardware
and to supply fully integrated, powerful solutions for retailers
in its chosen markets. Together the two companies can offer
consultancy, system design, implementation, project management,
training and comprehensive hardware support contracts nationally
to suit any retailer’s needs.
2004 saw the successful opening of the next Nutri Centre
concession within the Tesco Extra at Newcastle upon Tyne.
With over 45,000 different products now available from the
original Regents Street dispensary and three Nutri Centre
branches, the flexibility of the Triple Software Shopmaster
Micropos solution was ideally suited to cater for The Nutri
Centre’s specific requirements.
