Retrofit an existing local store

There's still a shop in town, but staff and opening hours are getting tight? We retrofit existing local stores with access and payment technology plus software – making them 24/7-capable, with no new build.

The principle

Turn the existing shop into a digital 24/7 store

  • Access system for shopping outside service hours – without continuous staffing.
  • Self-checkout and inventory management as a software retrofit.
  • Existing premises, range and operator stay.
  • Much lower investment than a new build, and quick to implement.
