About Smart Volution

Smart Volution, has been delivering innovative retail focused software for over 13 years. Utilizing our experience with large retailers we designed Register EPOS to provide a modern, cost-effective EPOS solution for smaller retailers across multiple vertical markets. We provide innovation, experience and maturity to this market.

We turn complex solutions into products, sold as a service, which enable smaller retailers to gain the same benefits that large retailers with much larger budgets attain from technology. Our on-going mission is to continually provide top tier retail functionality applicable to all businesses, large and small.

Modern Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) is not just about executing payment, managing inventory and keeping records. It’s about business management and providing a point of customer service. Register is a modern, simple to use, cost effective, and innovative EPOS application for any business.

Our solutions are taken to market by a global community of renowned partners. The core Smart Volution management team have significant pedigree in this space and have held key positions with the likes of Verifone, Hewlett Packard, Schlumberger (Axalto) and Qualcomm.

Our customers are our world and we continually go the extra mile to beat expectations and become their partner and trusted adviser.

The Right Choice

Simplicity

Register EPOS looks and operates like a standard electronic cash register (ECR), this is something everyone has reference too and simplifies training. With its guided workflow, it is simple and intuitive to use.

Peace of Mind

Register EPOS is backed by a multi-level support team delivering “Enterprise Class Support”. Our systems run in the same type of operating environment that tier one retailers use. The Register EPOS software uses a hybrid architecture of cloud and local data allowing it to work offline if your internet goes down.

Maximise Profit

Registers’ central view on your retail world provides the ability to make the best use of your stores, staff and products in order to maximise profit and focus on peak times.

Grow & Innovate

Register is a catalyst for your innovative retailing concepts by rapidly enabling change. Sell on the shop floor or at a festival, staff to consult on products as opposed to fulfilling transactions. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) allows to know your customer. Remind them of appointments via text, good for you and convenient for them. View spending and target appropriately. Operational efficiency is key for growth, without it, as you get larger you get slower. Register has been designed to enable retailers to scale with ease with centralised control. Add a café to your bike shop or salon.

Stay Current

You’re a retailer because you love your products and serving your customers, not because you want to keep up on technology. You need a solution that stays current, and simply brings new trends and technology right to you. Register is automatically updated regularly, based on customer requests and market trends.

Save Time

Quite simply Register EPOS automates tasks and gives you back time. Examples include, centralised reporting from all stores and Registers, that can be emailed direct to your account, automated stock management and commission calculations. All saving you time and money.

Case Studies

Splashdown

A great use of Register in multiple scenarios. Including, retail, hospitality, ticketing, kiosk and table side service. Please see our video case study of Splashdown, a waterpark on the south coast using Register in all areas of their business.

David Oakey bought the pub next door in 2016. The Coach House Inn is in Rosedale Abbey in the North Yorkshire Moors, an area of outstanding natural beauty. As a consequence the business is highly seasonal, moving from being the ‘local’ for the village to being a major destination during the holidays.

Harvey & Martin is a successful hairdressing salon based in a delightiully old photographic shop in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. The salon has been in business for over three years and employs five staff.

The centralised reporting and management system has allowed us to make real time decisions based on up to date information from anywhere. Register has improved our operational efficiency, it has definitely improved our customer satisfaction and I highly recommend it

Jon Lees, Splashdown Water Park

From a support point of view the team has been excellent and I have already recommended Register to a number of other retailers

Lauren Holmes, Wild Olive

Register is designed so that customisation of the screen is simple to set up. It was great to see how the stand staff quickly got the hang of using the Register especially as they had not seen or used it before. The interface is extremely easy to use and understand

Alexandra Wiseman, Ales Groupe UK Ltd

I needed to understand how the salon was performing on a day to day basis, plus I was spending considerable time collating bits of paper to work out commissions for the staff.

Nigel Harvey, Harvey and Martin

I am delighted we went with the Register solution as I now have time to focus on expanding the business, rather than keep up with the day to day chores

Robin Langley MD, Barber Box

The team from Smart Volution have been brilliant – not only with the initial installation but also listening to us for additional features to be included in the product.
