Leading retail solutions provider DigiPoS Systems has announced the opening of further new offices in Shenzhen, China. The company has seen extensive growth from profitable expansion over the past 10 years as the organisation has opened across Africa, Europe, North America and Scandinavia - and this latest announcement confirms the company`s position as a leading, global supplier of retail technology and support services.
With significant experience in the development, deployment and support of technology for retailers, new opportunities are evident across China as the country opens up to investment and free-trade. Located in Guangdong Province`s coastal region along the South Sea, Shenzhen borders Hong Kong and is a short drive or train ride to the Hong Kong`s central business district.
It was China`s late leader, Deng Xiaopin, who established Shenzhen as a Special Economic Zone in 1980, and Shenzhen is now the fastest growing special economic zone in China.
In 2001, the population of the Shenzhen area reached 4.68 million and DigiPoS will join some 120 000 other businesses in the region, which continues to experience burgeoning growth. By way of example, the Shenzhen GDP ranks fourth among Chinese mainland cities, while its per capita GDP and income rank first in the whole country.
With a modern transportation network in place, modern highways, expressways and railways now reaching out in all directions from Shenzhen good communications were an important consideration for DigiPoS in the opening of the new offices. DigiPoS will apply a highly successful country-entry formula to the Chinese.
The solution proposition for the region will be to lead with lower level entry products, preparing the way for the state of the art higher specification DigiPoS solutions as the market and demand matures over time.
Tim Bittleston, CEO of the DigiPoS Systems Group, expands further on the development: "DigiPoS is a highly successful enterprise that continues to deliver outstanding technology value to the worldwide retail sector - backed up by solid investment and the inherent expertise in our staff. Wherever we have set our geographical objectives we have delivered a compelling combination of specialist technology, value and support. In concert with several other geographical regions, we see China as an important evolving market where clearly, we can repeat our success. We understand also that we have a number of clients who may wish also to address this fast-growing market. Through our sales force, we are therefore advising our presence in the China market as they may wish to use our offices, knowledge and facilities as a vehicle to explore their own opportunities."
