What must actually be taken into account in point of sale fitting?<br />
Whether it's a supermarket, a fashion boutique<br />
or a DIY store – a variety of POS architectures<br />
and designs are required depending<br />
on the <strong>retail</strong> format. Lisa Beck from atelier 522<br />
provides a few tips.<br />
Mrs Beck, not all materials are suitable<br />
for use in POS fitting. Do you have any<br />
selection tips?<br />
What you need to bear in mind when choosing<br />
materials is that a lot of dust is created<br />
by items of clothing in the POS area. So, the<br />
surfaces should be easy to clean. Furthermore,<br />
metals and heavy objects cause wear<br />
and damage to the surfaces. Our advice is to<br />
choose smooth, scratch-resistant materials<br />
without indentations.<br />
How has digitalization changed POS fitting?<br />
We have noticed that the appliances being<br />
installed on the POS are becoming smaller.<br />
Mobile phones, tablets and small monitors are<br />
being used more frequently. This offers new<br />
options for shopfitting: points of sale can be<br />
more elegant and designed more freely.<br />
Within this process the self-checkout is<br />
becoming more popular. What does a<br />
POS area now need to offer from a structural<br />
standpoint?<br />
It needs to be neat. Steps and their sequence<br />
must be apparent to the customer at<br />
first glance. Where is the scanner? Where can<br />
I pay? Where are the bags for packing my purchases?<br />
When do I scan my customer card?<br />
