Marketing

We believe that pro-active marketing is an important element of any successful operation regardless of business sector, and that the current economic climate requires increased communication with your customer base.
There have been many recent articles covering all our key business sectors including Leisure, Hospitality and Ticketing publications stating the virtues of a well planned and constructive marketing campaign.
The Restaurant magazine in particular has provided readers with a great deal of information aimed at guiding the hospitality sector through the maze of the latest internet applications to help boost sales.
While high street chains may increase footfall with 2-4-1 voucher offers, there is much evidence that suggests independent restaurants do not benefit from the economies of scale of their multi-site competitors.
In today’s market, independent operators should take advantage of every opportunity to attract repeat business from customers who have already enjoyed a positive dining out or leisure experience.
Having a fast efficient EPOS solution from Haven Systems is only part of the bigger picture. An EPOS system that can be configured to capture customer data is key to promoting your business.
Our EPOS systems may also be configured to ask a predefined question with drop down box for answer options. More important is the ability to include data capture at the Electronic Point Of Sale system.
Customer data can be gathered very quickly with the option to include a Post Code Look Up service to speed up the process. A check box confirms if customers are happy to ‘opt in’ to future contact via email or SMS.
If you are not already capturing customer information expanding your system to collect this valuable data is an important step, however, more important is how the compiled data is used for marketing campaigns.
We are happy to advise on all out latest systems and services that include effective marketing initiatives for both small and medium sized operations.
In many cases, data is already been collected manually through the use of comment or feedback cards, however the data is not being processed or put to any good use. If this currently applies to your business please contact us and find out how we can turn your unused information into an effective and rewarding marketing campaign.

Biometric fingerprint recognition

Haven Systems, an independent developer and provider of EPOS solutions to the hospitality, ticketing and leisure markets have successfully introduced Biometric Fingerprint recognition technology to their latest systems.

Fingerprint readers can be fully integrated with touchscreen hardware from J2 Retail Systems to identify staff fingerprints for user login ensuring fool proof accountability.

The fingerprint log on processes are quick and easy to use, allowing control over who uses the system with out the worry of staff sharing access codes or swipe cards.

Staff hours are accurately recorded when they clock on and off the system via the biometric fingerprint readers producing reliable time and attendance reporting. Before every transaction, staff can use the the reader to log on, ensuring an accurate data tag is recorded. Each employee transaction is precisely recorded for improved security and efficiency enabling employers to highlight identity theft or any spurious transactions.

Peter Rawsthorne, the operation director at Haven Systems explains "We always incorporate the latest technology so we can provide customers with reliable and secure solutions, bringing many commercial bennefits. We have ensured that fingerprint recognition within our EPOS systems are faster and more reliable in recognising users than any other solution".
