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.

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.

The efficiency, interactivity, and flexibility provided by mobile point-of-sale systems are making them an essential part of today’s shopping experience.
