When upgrading in-house technology, companies now consider the environment and energy efficiency to be a major factor in their decision-making process. In response to this, DigiPoS has developed the low voltage design of the DigiTouch, which offers reduced power consumption and more energy-efficient operation.

The DigiTouch has been designed specifically for hospitality and retail and can be optimised to suit different business needs with a variety of peripheral devices including; magnetic strip reader, programmable PoS keyboard, dallas key and secondary LCD display.

Habitat has consolidated its stock taking across the UK using new portable data capture units and software from Portech Systems. Following successful completion of the UK implementation, the new system will be rolled out to Spain and potentially other European countries, states Retail Technology.

To gain greater stock accountability, visibility and control of items in store, Habitat has decided to implement a new stock taking system from Portech Systems. The implementation includes 108 multilingual portable data capture units.
