NCR,
the global leader in consumer transaction technologies, and dascus, an
NCR value-added reseller (VAR) for retail and hospitality, are
modernizing the point-of-sale (POS) infrastructure of all 109 branches
of the German bakery chain Stangengrüner Mühlenbäckerei. The complete
solution consists of software and hardware along with services and
support provided by dascus.
Stangengrüner Mühlenbackerei is known for using recipes that have been
handed down for generations. With the latest POS technology, the
bakery’s customers can enjoy the tastes and smells of the old world, but
are quickly on their way in today’s fast-paced society.
The NCR RealPOS 25 gives the bakery a compact and convenient
touch-screen POS solution, ideal for a high-traffic environment. The
bakery uses the EasiPOS cash and Central Store Office (CSO) software
that was specifically developed by dascus for the bakery business. The
solution ensures future transactions and pricing changes can be managed
centrally. Daily receipts are also analyzed from a central location,
giving the Mühlenbackerei a quick overview of each individual branch’s
sales. The open software architecture of the NCR RealPOS 25 provides
problem-free installation for future software updates as they are
available.
Due to its design, the POS technology enables small and midsized
retailers to realize significant energy savings, since it features an
energy-saving processor and runs without a cooling fan. With its compact
design, the technology is easy to setup and maintain. Its color and
branding can be customized according to a retailer’s individual
preferences and can be used either as a POS workstation or multimedia
kiosk for self-service applications.
“We want to reflect on our traditions, but at the same time offer our
customers a better shopping experience using modern solutions,” says
Volker Seifert, CEO at Stangengrüner Mühlenbäckerei. “NCR technology
allows us to standardize the infrastructure of the cash systems across
our branches. We chose NCR for its low running costs and high investment
protection. As a result, we are making day-to-day business easier for
our employees and more pleasant for our customers.”
The bakery started as a windmill in 1861. Today it has 610 employees in
109 branches in the states of Saxony, Thuringia, Saxony-Anhalt and
Bavaria.
“The fact that such a traditional firm like Stangengrüner Mühlenbäckerei
has chosen to use our complete POS technology solution really shows how
important innovative and efficient technology is for day-to-day retail,”
explains Stefan Clemens, Area Industry Leader, NCR Retail. “NCR POS
technology solutions enable retailers to profit from higher productivity
and a quicker return on investment.”
As an NCR channel partner for retail and hospitality, dascus will take
over the installation of the NCR RealPOS 25 and its subsequent service
and support.
