Nowadays consumers have more choices for where to buy food than ever before. In addition, in other sectors they have become accustomed to additional product information being available to access at any time via various media and they are increasingly also demanding this for the food sector. The access to information about a product also has a crucial bearing on the decision to make a purchase. New shop concepts in food retailing deliberately aim to achieve a high-quality presentation, particularly for ranges with a high margin. The basic idea here of achieving additional sales by offering a special shopping experience is already the foundation for plans in shop design.

   Would you like to benefit from this potential?

   This is exactly where the product range that xplace has designed for use at the POS in the food retail sector comes in: all solutions satisfy the consumer demand for additional information and offer a unique service experience with interactive features.

   Our Solutions for Food Retailing:

 Wine adviser

   Wine as a category is one of the strongest-selling ranges in food retailing – but is also one of the growth markets for e-commerce. Experts think that the coming years will provide great potential and an increase in sales of medium and high-quality wines – if they are marketed in the right way. The great oppor­tunity lies in the options for pro­viding advice that modern websites offer for wine. Intel­ligent searches address the indi­vidual pre­fe­rences of con­sumers. Com­pre­hensive infor­mation about the product satisfies the demand for advice and influences the decision to make a purchase in a positive way.

   Enjoy the benefits of e-commerce when it comes to advice on wine in your wine section. Con­sumers are used to the amount of infor­mation available on the internet. Standing in front of a wine shelf, they are often only able to access the infor­mation on price labels and the back of the bottle. The Wine Adviser allows you to offer com­pre­hensive advice, a top service, a special shopping expe­rience and to assist your staff when dis­cussing possible sales.

Whisky Adviser.

Scotch or bourbon?

   Unapp­re­ciated and out of fashion for much too long, the whisky range is now bene­fiting from the revival of the cult drink. Whisky is one of the drinks where people want plenty of advice. At the same time, the level of reluctance when deciding whether to make a purchase is high due to the price. The Whisky Adviser combines the light-hearted sur­veying of consumer pre­fe­rences with com­pre­hensive infor­mation about the product. This ensures that the fear of buying the wrong product is replaced by the cer­tainty of having made the right choice. In addition, the consumer learns the most important basics all about whisky.

   Retailers also benefit from the Whisky Adviser as its provides a database of knowledge for your staff who can very easily polish up on the expertise they need via the terminal when talking to customers.

Recipe Adviser.

The answer to the question of the effi­ciency of service ter­minals at the POS.

   The fact that the Recipe Adviser has been used for many years as the first embo­diment of the service ter­minals at the food POS speaks for itself and clearly illus­trates what success retailers can achieve with these systems. The question “Darling, what are you cooking today?” has now long since been answered. Fresh content, new functions and the pos­si­bility of adapting the app­li­cation to meet the requi­rements of chain stores and retailers ensure that the Recipe Advisers are still fully utilised in store even after many years. The impact of the recipes, whose lists of ingre­dients act as shopping lists and defi­nitely serve as incentives to buy, is now undisputed. And with a little inspi­ration and a hungry sen­sation in your stomach, your shopping basket grows almost on its own.
