Retail

IT services and solutions that will transform your retail business without costing the earth.

Transforming the retail landscape through digital transformation.

Retail forms a vitally important part of the UK economy, employing 3 million people, with the total value of retail sales in 2022 reaching £441 bn.

We understand the challenges being faced and have worked with a number of world renowned retailers since 2010, providing a range of solutions to manage and streamline their businesses.

The challenges.

Retailers are facing a number of challenges with customers having an enormous choice in where and how they shop. Rising above the noise to provide a shopping experience that delights, engages, and retains customers is key.

Distibution centre issues

Many retailers use devices and systems from multiple suppliers, problems occur when software updates are required, or devices need to be repaired. Managing this process can be difficult, time consuming and costly.

Reliance on legacy technology

Fragmented legacy systems lead to increased costs and poor usability. Data is often stored across multiple platforms and is difficult to manage leading to huge inefficiencies and an increase in errors.

Cyber Security

Retailers are expected to keep customers data secure; consumer confidence is predicated on knowing that their information whether instore or online is safe. Cyber security threats are a huge issue for retailers, with successful attacks causing huge reputational damage and massive regulatory fines which some have never survived.

Environmental Impact

Environmental and climate change issues are of increasing concern in society, addressing these issues is of growing importance. Having a strong environmental charter in place is becoming a necessity rather than a luxury.

Lack of IT Staff

Attracting and retaining staff with the right digital skills is challenging for many retailers. The rapid adoption of new technologies further exacerbates this skills shortage and can affect profitability.

Poor network functionality

Networks are the foundation on which retailer’s businesses are underpinned. With omnichannel models now being a minimum requirement for retailers hoping to achieve business success, networks are more important than ever.

The solutions.

Our approach is a flexible and adaptable managed services model providing just the right amount of services tailored to each individual requirement.

Carbon neutral printers & MFPs from Kyocera.

All new printers, MFPs and Production printers are offered fully carbon neutral. We offer a bolt on to older Kyocera models that allows them to be carbon offset.

How do we offset the carbon of our print devices?

Kyocera can carbon offset all our devices, plus the Kyocera genuine consumables they use over the lifetime of the product (see t&cs), through a simple bolt-on to the device purchase. This covers all elements of production, packaging, transportation, Kyocera consumables, plus Kyocera genuine toner and device recycling. Based on these factors, we've calculated how much carbon needs to be offset for each device in our range.

We offset your new Kyocera devices through myclimate, the same partner we use to offset our own UK business operations. With myclimate, we invest in international projects which are certified by CDM Gold Standard. It is the most stringent certification for carbon offsetting projects and is supported by 60 NGOs worldwide. It is the only standard which certifies a project’s sustainable development factors, including co-benefit criteria like healthcare, job creation or reforestation. 

Partnering with us offers numerous benefits for your business, including cost efficiency, access to expertise, the ability to focus on core functions, enhanced security, and scalability. 

We’ll manage your complete IT estate and support your users, both remotely and onsite, so you can focus on your commercial goals. If your internal IT team is feeling stretched, or you’re an IT manager in need of more support, we can help with that too.
