Fashion Brand TALLY WEiJL deploys new POS
TALLY WEiJL, the young, fashionable Swiss women’s ready-to-wear brand, is revamping its entire point-of-sale IT system in Europe; GK Software’s OmniPOS solution has been chosen and will gradually be operational – by 2022 – in the Brand’s 450 stores.
The AURES SANGO systems have been selected to support the new IT management and POS solution; the roll-out began in 2017 in France, Austria and Switzerland – and all former TOSHIBA-IBM systems will gradually be replaced.
The success story of TALLY WEiJL started in 1984 in Switzerland, when Tally Elfassi-Weijl started to develop her first creations, in a small garage. Together with her partner Beat Grüring, she started to approach and supply fashion boutiques and retailers and was soon able to develop 12 collections per year. The results were so promising that the two partners set up their first store in Fribourg (Switzerland) in 1987.
The concept was a huge success and the brand opened in Germany in 1997, then in Poland; in 2000, it already owned more than 50 stores in Europe.
Today, with its franchisees, TALLY WEiJL represents 900 stores, in 37 countries, and is one of the big international players in young, accessible and trendy women’s fashion.
“This migration to a new software platform will enable us to optimise our multi-site and omni-channel management,” explains Tanguy BAULIN, IT Retail Manager of TALLY WEiJL.
“The relationship between our customers and the checkout staff is facilitated, as is the IT management, which is simpler and more fluid; the supplies of our stores are also better controlled; the centralisation of our POS information system allows us to have control over all the operational processes in all our shops in real time and it is a plus compared to our former solution”.
“We chose white SANGO POS terminals with Skylake I5 processor, for really boosted and improved performance,” he continues.
“The modern and slim look of the AURES SANGO terminal fits in well with the fashion world of our brand, unlike the previous POS systems, which were not very ergonomic and too bulky on our sales counters. Additionnally, the dual-screen system of the AURES hardware allows digital display applications at the till, which is an advantage for queue management and customer loyalty programs.
The SANGO EPOS hardware is lightweight thanks to its design, which incorporates an elegant aluminium offset stand, but nonetheless extremely robust; the modular design of the range, the power and reliability of the fanless processor (without ventilation) are a guarantee of stability over time; without forgetting the high quality multi-touch capacitive touch screen, which offers major precision and excellent resistance to shocks and scratches, a major advantage in high-traffic stores such as ours.
The international dimension of AURES is another interesting aspect for TALLY WEiJL; we obviously choose partners in a position to support us in our development outside Switzerland and throughout Europe; the AURES Export Department teams have brought us all their experience and commercial, technical and logistical support; they are at our side in all the countries where we install this new solution (France, Austria, Switzerland from 2017 then Germany, Italy, Greece, Poland, Czech Republic and Slovenia)” Tanguy BAULIN concludes.
“Beyond the design aspect, the performance of the AURES hardware during tests with the GK Software, combined with the great ease of maintenance of their “all-in-one” structure, definitely convinced TALLY WEiJL,” says Carlos GASPAR, Export Director of the AURES Group.
“Our local sales teams have unanimously approved the new AURES POS equipment. The reliability together with ease of use are major assets for our teams in store. Now, they have more time, focussing on our lovely customers. AURES POS supports us in providing an unique and unforgettable shopping experience” concludes Denis KOLMANIC, Omni Channel Manager of TALLY WEiJL.
