NEXT GENERATION EPOS INSTALLED IN 70(TH) SITE FOR RONTEC
Universe Group plc (AIM: UNG.L), a leading developer and
supplier of point of sale, payment and on-line loyalty systems,
announces that it has installed its next generation point of sale,
back office and head office solution on to the 70(th) site for
leading petrol forecourt operator Rontec.
Rontec is a major player in the UK industry, operating over 240
forecourts across England and Wales. It partners with leading
brands such as Esso, BP, Texaco and Shell as well as Spar,
Morrisons, and Shop N' Drive. Site acquisitions have driven strong
growth in recent years with Rontec looking to improve their retail
management systems in both the forecourt and the stores.
HTEC, the Universe subsidiary, already the supplier of payment
systems to Rontec, were selected and the two companies have been
working together to deliver the latest EPOS technology. Deployment
commenced in 2017 and is continuing.
Jeremy Lewis, Chief Executive of Universe Group plc,
commented:
"We are delighted to reach this milestone with such a leading
retailer as Rontec. Our close working relationship with them has
ensured that this next generation EPOS solution brings much
mission-critical, extra control and functionality to allow
retailers to tightly manage their business in real-time and so
maximize returns."
Tom Cookson, Director of Fuels and IT of Rontec, said:
"We were already a customer of HTEC's leading Gempay 3 payment
solution, which we rolled out last year. When looking for a next
generation EPOS solution we found what we needed at HTEC. Their
understanding of retail, technological expertise and partnership
approach have been very important to the success of the
project."
