DigiPoS Retail Active

The DigiPoS Retail Active 8000 sets a new price-performance benchmark for the Retail marketplace - ensuring that Retailers can benefit from the lastest features and functionality - without the associated cost.

Typically conventional PC Manufacturers rely upon standard motherboard configurations that are available “off the shelf”. This is not necessarily a major concern for the home or commercial user – however for Retail it can lead to a significant diversity of technology across the estate. This in turn delivers different standards of operational performance and platform inconsistency for software deployment.

By contrast, DigiPoS commences the system and motherboard design process starting with the needs of
the Retailer and ensuring that the motherboard itself has a planned-in lifecycle of many years. The result is that as new processors such as the Celeron, Pentium and Core Duo are released they operate within the same, consistent overall motherboard architecture and have a guaranteed lifespan.

In terms of retail specific functionality, from the outset DigiPoS designs-in a range of technology features that bring choice, ease of operation and installation and reduced cabling. The Retail Active 8000 for example, has 4 powered serial ports as standard to allow for the incorporation of peripherals such as scanners, printers or Chip and PIN technology. Where USB may be the preferred path, the Retail Active has 3 ports as standard, again powered eliminating the need for complex support power cabling.

Anticipating the potential need for improved customer communications the Retail Active also features twin graphics output to enable one screen to meet the needs of counter staff, whilst allowing a second screen to be customer facing.

The Retail Active 8000 features additional security with a locking front bezel whilst the whole design of the slimline case takes into account the often limited space available within the store, particularly in the counter area. Inside the Retail 80000 also houses dedicated powered ports for a receipt printer and
for a cash draw. It is these features that distinguish the RA 8000 as the solution distinctively designed for the Retailer.
