Past Times takes EPoS estate into the 21st century with Vista Support

This article is brought to you by Retail Technology Review: Past Times takes EPoS estate into the 21st century with Vista Support.

High street retailer Past Times has selected Vista Retail Support, a leading independent EPOS maintenance services company, to provide maintenance across its EPoS estate.

Past Times is introducing a new EPoS solution and needed a company to support the maintenance of its tills across its 102 stores covering over 220 tills.

Simon Watson, Senior Business Analyst at Past Times, said, We decided to work with Vista for our maintenance support due to the companys in-depth knowledge in this area. We were impressed with the teams approach and we also had positive feedback after conversations with existing Vista customers.

Mark Townsend, Business Development Manager at Vista, said, Past Times is an expanding company and has exciting growth plans for 2009. We look forward to supporting them with their expansion plans through efficient management and maintenance of the companys EPoS system. Past Times only has two or three tills in each store, so it is fully reliant on having its EPoS up and running at all times. Our service will help support the day-to-day requirements of the business.

The new EPoS system has been provided by VCS Timeless, a partner of Vista Retail Support.
