Shaws taps Eurostop tech as stores reopen after lockdown

Irish department store chain, Shaws, is to implement Eurostop’s mobile PoS solution to support social distancing in-store as coronavirus lockdown guidelines are eased. 

Scheduled to open the majority of its stores from 15th June, the retailer is planning to use the solution in its beauty department before rolling it out through other departments, with future plans to include its concession partners.

This will allow customers to deal with just one member of staff for product consultations and then complete the purchase, without the need to go to a bank of tills. 

Based on the Sunmi P2 Lite the Eurostop tech provides in built scanning, EPoS and integrated card payments on one device. Ian Fanning, Retail Director at Shaws, comments: “Like many retailers we are looking at ways to safeguard our customers and staff as we reopen after the coronavirus pandemic.”

“The Eurostop mPoS will enable us to minimise the number of interactions needed between staff and customers, because we can take payment for goods at any location within the store. This means that customers do not necessarily need to go to the fixed cash desks, supporting social distancing measures.”
