ECR Sponsors Gloucestershire School’s Environmental Learning Project

EPoS specialists ECR today announced their sponsorship of a new outdoor learning project at Chalford Hill School in Gloucestershire.

Pupils and staff at the school will benefit from a dedicated outdoor-based class learning environment, reinforcing Chalford Hill’s proudly held ‘Outdoor School’ status and giving children the chance to spend more lesson time learning in an outside environment. The enrichment project enables children to experience nature in and around the garden environment.

Mrs Corinne Martin, Head teacher, said:  “We are incredibly pleased to be able to expand our outdoor offering, enriching the learning experience for every pupil at the school. Children consistently tell us how much they enjoy learning outside the classroom. As a school, we take every opportunity to incorporate the benefits of being outdoors into the curriculum and are grateful to ECR for their continued support.”

The sponsorship forms part of ECR’s commitment to supporting Gloucestershire social projects in both education and the environment. Simon Pont, CEO at ECR, commented “a Gloucestershire resident myself, I am committed to supporting local environmental initiatives and am delighted that ECR can help give children the chance to combine learning and spending more time in nature.”

ECR have an ongoing programme sponsoring initiatives of social value in and around the community. With close ties to the Gloucestershire region and understanding the funding challenges facing Gloucestershire schools, this contribution has been particularly welcome.

The project is now complete and children will begin enjoying its benefits from the start of the new year 2020.

Five Important things to consider when purchasing a Point of Sale System

A point of sale (POS) system is essentially a software program that allows businesses to track the activity on cash registers, calculate when stock needs reordering, and analyse levels of inventory according to item. A POS system automatically records the details of each sale as it happens; meaning records are constantly kept up to date.

How An Effective MPoS System Can Improve Customer Satisfaction

The maxim that the customer is always right applies to retailers, restaurants, travel services and other businesses, even as their traditional customer landscape continues to change drastically. The customer, wherever they are, expects less fuss at the checkout, no waiting for the bill, and no queueing for the only ticket machine at the station.

The Future of On-board Retail Spend is Contactless

Ticket and retail sales across rail businesses have not changed significantly over the years. Rail companies still use standard point of sale (POS) or mobile point of sale (mPOS) systems to accept payments for tickets or good and services.
