Business challenges

Our client quickly became established as a top choice for quality meat, allowing it to grow substantially and open 130 more stores during a four-year period.
Due to the speed of growth, our client lacked a standardized POS system to run all stores optimally, meet demand surges with speed and quality, and make data-led decisions to move at the speed of customer preferences.

1

Needed to roll out an advanced and standardized POS solution across all stores.

2

Solution must be able to communicate core POS information to support store-and enterprise-level monitoring and decision making.

3

Solution must be scalable and able to quickly integrate store devices such as scales, payment terminals, kiosks, printers, and more.

How Softtek comes into play

As a partner of SAP and of GK Software, Softtek was the ideal implementation and ongoing support partner for our client’s new POS solution. Since this was the first implementation of the solution in Latin America, Softtek set out to show how it’s way more valuable than transactional POS systems—it's ready to provide an omnichannel CX, empower employees and upper-level decision making, and drive sustainable growth.

Supported the quality assurance, pilot, and rollout of the POS solution across all stores.

Provided ongoing support to ensure high uptime of the system and all connected devices, as well as the high availability of data flows in near-real time.

Supported the opening of new stores, integration of new store devices with the POS, and connection of the POS with other platforms and tools.
