Ferry Operators 2019

Time to get personal!
Is it time for Airports and Airlines to get personal?

The luxury leisure industry is growing fast, as consumers with stressful lives and healthy disposable incomes embrace the wellness trend. Whereas once, consumers would head overseas for a short break or spa weekend, busy career people are now opting to make full use of luxurious local leisure facilities offering high-end beauty treatments, spa services, fitness programmes, nutrition and more.

Northern Irish Railways appoint ECR to provide first on-board mobile payment solution

Following a successful pilot project ECR Retail Systems – the London-based mobile point of sale (MPoS) specialists – have deployed their real-time mobile payment solution across the entire SNCF fleet of trains, France’s largest rail operator. This development follows the award of a three-year contract.

ECR Retail Systems (ECR), the leading UK-based MPoS specialist, has developed and launched the GoFree, the first compact handheld terminal of its kind, designed specifically for the airline sector and with inbuilt Miura PED.  Incorporating the latest ECR AirPoS technology, the GoFree uses customer data to enhance the passenger and airline crew experience, and is designed to work as part of a full end-to-end airline system.

ECR Retail Systems has been selected by retail logistics specialist, Versilia Solutions, to provide an electronic point of sale system for Air Malta’s inflight MPoS requirements.

The initiative underpins a drive by Air Malta to improve its in-flight catering experience. As part of its growth strategy which included the launch of 21 new destinations in just a year, the airline also enhanced its in-flight service and onboard operation.

We are living in the era of big data, and some sectors have been quicker than others to catch on to the potential of business information which can be harvested for the benefit of sales and marketing strategies. One of the 'early adopters' has been the retail industry, which has been busy exploiting the opportunities presented by real-time data.

ECR Retail Systems is delighted to have received the Excellence in Technology award, for its ECR Go2 solution with National Express.

It was reported recently by the FT that passenger numbers on Britain’s railways have increased sharply in the past six months. According to research by the Rail Delivery Group, the UK experienced the highest growth in demand across the continent compared to other European countries.

Today’s electronic point of sale (POS) systems can help businesses to enjoy better security, efficiency and customer service in new ways. The latest systems are far more than simply digital cash registers; they have advanced features that offer added and fundamental value to the business.
