Nisa Retail reports major Evolution EPoS system growth

The number of Nisa stores using the company’s Evolution EPoS system has risen by a quarter in the last year.

Nearly 550 stores now have the system, and Nisa, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Co-operative Group, is on track to hit 700+ in 2022. 190 were installed in 2021.

Nisa’s IT Service Delivery Manager, Chris Chadwick, says: “Throughout 2021, the Epositive team faced a lot of uncertainty as we navigated the ever evolving world of IT that continues to be shaped by the Covid-19 pandemic.”

“Despite being faced with multiple hurdles over the last 12 months, we have seen the largest growth in one year since Evolution launched in 2015.”

Chadwick concludes: “2022 is set to be a big year for us, with numerous exciting innovations and advancements in the pipeline that will help transform the way our partners (retailers) do business.”

Jisp partnership

Nisa recently announced a UK wide roll-out of Jisp’s augmented reality vouchering system, Scan & Save, to independent retailers.

Great to be progressing so quickly with this initiative working in partnership with @jispapp to roll-out the #scanandsave to more @nisalocally stores this year.https://t.co/VXhiBYWyiG pic.twitter.com/2ZHz1ZLA27

The move follows a pilot, which delivered 82,116 scans, 40,001 taps and 32,895 redemptions on Scan & Save branded AR vouchers from September to December.

Participating retailers accumulated a combined discount redemption value of £36,211 with over 2,300 unique shoppers, 81%, becoming repeat redeemers.

James Taylor, Head of Central Operations at Nisa, commented: “It’s been fantastic seeing our retailers adopt a new, trailblazing digital system in stores of every shape and size across the UK.”

“Scan & Save is a superb solution for any retailer looking to deliver high-end technology that is often only accessible at larger supermarket chains. We’re excited to see more positive results in the upcoming months working with Jisp.”

Gary Batten of Phoenix Stores said: ‘’It’s easy to incorporate Scan & Save in-store. We simply set up the PoS and attached the shelf tickets to the shelf edges.”

“We are now seeing customers familiar with Scan & Save coming into the store and confidently using the app again and again to redeem deals. Any retailers who don’t use this technology shouldn’t be in retail – it’s a no brainer.”
