Henderson Technology is celebrating the 15th anniversary of EDGEPoS, its award-winning electronic point of sale (EPOS) system, launched in 2010.
The company is using the anniversary to signal its ambitions for the next era of retail technology.
Designed by retailers, for retailers, EDGEPoS was created to “meet the challenges of a competitive and fast-moving convenience and forecourt sector,” it says.
Over the last 15 years, the system has evolved into a full suite of solutions that now includes standalone and hybrid self-checkouts, electronic shelf-edge labels (ESELs), and most recently, trials of AI-powered monitoring of both self-checkouts and whole-store activities.
Henderson Technology says the next chapter is underway, with “date-checking software developments, a centralised fuel management system, AI loss prevention and new data-driven decision tools all in development to help retailers run smarter, more efficient stores.”
As part of its anniversary celebrations, Henderson Technology has focused on giving back through its charity initiatives. The team partnered with Action Mental Health (AMH), a key charity for the wider Henderson Group, to mark the milestone, in line with World Mental Health Day today (10 October).
Henderson Technology organised a fundraising collection at the SPAR Mallusk flagship store (above), while the company also invested in AMH Awareness Training for its staff. This combination of fundraising and training demonstrates a commitment that goes beyond financial support, helping to raise awareness and build understanding of mental health in the workplace.
Darren Nickels, retail technology operations director at Henderson Technology, said: “Technology has never been more important, but it’s also not one-size-fits-all. Working alongside retailers allows us to learn from the best and deliver solutions that truly fit their businesses.
“The future is already taking shape - from AI to advanced fuel management and loss prevention – and our role is to make sure every retailer has access to the right tools to grow.
“Marking the 15th anniversary alongside World Mental Health Day is not only a milestone in EDGEPoS’ growth but also a launchpad for Henderson Technology’s vision, working in partnership with retailers to shape the future of convenience and forecourt retail.”
