New PoS solution from GK Software's RETAIL7 subsidiary implemented across BUTLERS European stores

Lifestyle brand BUTLERS has teamed up with Retail7, a subsidiary of GK Software, to roll-out a new checkout solution for over 100 stores in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

The project not only included the implementation of classic PoS functions, but also integration into existing central systems and ensuring compliance with all fiscal requirements.

“RETAIL7 has achieved an extraordinary feat. Not only did they deliver a completely new PoS solution in a very short time, but the team also understood our business immediately and configured the standard solution to our requirements as quickly as possible, thus ensuring the continued operation of our stores,” says André Martens, who manages BUTLERS together with Ricky Schneidewind as Managing Director.

"The project shows what is possible with our lean, cloud native SaaS PoS solution. The combination of a preconfigured system, retail and ERP expertise sets new speed records in integration and project duration. We are proud of the entire team and would like to thank BUTLERS for the trust they have placed in us and for the great cooperation," says Christian Scheifele, Senior Vice President and Business Unit Lead at RETAIL7.

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

PoS solutions will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
