Industry-leading technology that’s affordable
Independent grocers, specialty food stores, natural/organic grocers and food cooperatives face stiff competition. It gets harder all the time.
- Customers expect low prices, fast checkout and flawless service
- Margins are small and shrinking
- Labor turnover remains high
- New competitors threaten market share every day
These pressures are demanding to any retailer, but especially so to grocery retailers.
How IBM and STCR can help
Maximize speed and uptime at the POS
Grocery shoppers don't like to wait. That's why IBM and STCR offer durable solutions that work hard, run fast and provide consistently outstanding uptime.
Increase sales to fight shrinking margins
STCR can make it easier for grocers to strengthen customer loyalty and sales. With software developed specifically for grocery, you can quickly roll out a loyalty program designed to reward and retain your best customers and track shopping patterns. You can also use targeted marketing to increase sales and impulse buys.
Reduce labor turnover, improve service
Higher throughput means higher sales, making it essential for your employees to work at peak efficiency. IBM's point-of-sale systems help you maximize cashier productivity, deliver training more efficiently and ensure exceptional customer service, all while minimizing employee turnover.
Use advanced technology to grow share
In grocery, market share is constantly threatened by traditional and new types of competitors. To compete, many grocers use multiple channels to protect existing share and reach new customers. IBM systems can deliver personalized shopping lists via the Web, use wireless terminals and handheld devices, print coupons from kiosks and offer self-checkout lanes.
