Having one system installed lead to another from YP Electronics. "We had time on our hands to focus on actual management of the store and make any vital decisions. Before we knew it our profit margins were increasing."
Mr & Mrs Terry, Cornwall – Devon

Three years ago Mr & Mrs Terry purchased a Sprint EPoS system for their village store in Saltash, Cornwall, with a wide product range of news, groceries, cards and convenience items.

 Mr & Mrs Terry installed EPoS to benefit predominantly from the news management facility, as they felt they were wasting too much valuable time controlling their news accounts manually.

 An increased efficiency was noticed immediately throughout the store, with The Terrys finding Sprint EPoS straightforward and an essential tool to the profitability of the business. "We had time on our hands to focus on actual management of the store and make any vital decisions. Before we knew it our profit margins were increasing."

 The Terrys were so impressed by the way Sprint EPoS transformed their store that they recommended it to other retailers, who also went on to install the system.

 In April 2004, after the success of Sprint EPoS in their first store, The Terrys were keen to see the advantages of the latest Sprint Vision system, and without hesitance installed a 2 lane Sprint Vision system in their second store, along with a Shelf Edge Label package and Electronic Funds Transfer.

 "The Colour Shelf Edge Labels make our store look much more professional and because they are bright and clearly visible our customers find it easier to locate the products they want, which can only be boosting our sales further"

 "When we installed Electronic Funds Transfer the number of customers visiting our store increased immediately. It’s often more convenient for people to pay this way, and they also tend to spend more than they had intended. The transactions are very fast and we can accept all major cards so our customers are always happy."

 For a busy news business with over 950 news delivery accounts, the partnership between YP and Connect 2U proved priceless to The Terrys. "This service is very reliable, it allows us to transfer daily delivery information from WH Smith to the EPoS system with ease. From the EPoS data we can make any necessary order changes which are then sent straight on to WH Smith. Our news management is so much more efficient, a factor that is extremely important to a business like ours with many news accounts."

 The Terrys have been using Londis as their main wholesaler for many years. Through their Sprint EPoS system they are now able to generate orders and transmit them to Londis within minutes, a process that used to take up to a full day. "The full product file is updated weekly and makes sure we are always up to date with any new products and price changes. Our orders are much more accurate, so we only stock the items that sell. The service is very efficient and has led to a significant increase in sales."

 The Terrys having recently installed the integrated Video Box Office software on the YP Electronics till. " ... its so much easier having the VBO software on the tills we have been able to take away a computer off the counter freeing up valuable selling space but also we can sell products at the same time as booking out Videos/DVD"
