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

With the advent of retail self-scan machines, and onboard smartcard readers for public transport, today’s customers and passengers are increasing being afforded the liberty they have demanded to manage their own purchasing and payment experience. And mobile ticketing and EPoS systems are no exception.

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.

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