Retail IT solutions

end-to end it solutions for retail businesses

If you’re still using an old, outdated retail system, then you’re already falling behind.

Your customers want a fast, easy experience at the checkout.

Old, outdated hardware or a lack of overall connectivity makes buying from you a headache, which makes shopping with the big chains a much more attractive option.

No more Wi-Fi blackspots or connectivity issues. Get a store-wide system that just works.

Get an IT system that optimises your uptime, seamlessly connects your POS with your inventory platform, and ensures you can use your devices in even the furthest corners of your store.

Our retail IT solutions

Store fitouts & hardware

We help you plan the layout of your store so that your IT works together fast and effectively. We work with you to create a robust map of your infrastructure that ensures every element of your business remains connected, and provide the hardware to help you achieve this.

Point of Sale solutions

We supply, install, and manage Merlin POS, our retail POS solution that we’ve built ourselves through years of hands-on research and testing. Designed to improve flexibility and speed, we can deploy an all-in-one Merlin POS solution to improve your checkout experience.

Managed IT support

Rather than trying to set up your store’s IT yourself, or solve your own IT problems when they occur, we manage it all for you remotely. You get proactive, on-demand IT support that takes the IT burden off your plate. From system upgrades, to an Australian-based helpdesk, we do it all for you.

CCTV & alarm systems

Get clear, crisp vision across your entire store with internal and external CCTV hardware and software. We deploy a CCTV network that covers all the key areas, with seamless connection to your security systems to ensure that you, your teams, and your customers are safe and secure.

WIFI & networking

These days, every element of your retail store needs a fast, secure connection to your network. From your POS devices, to your RF guns, to your data storage solutions, we plan, implement, and manage your store’s network and WIFI service. Get the fastest speed, and the best coverage – no more dropped connections, or lost sales.

Communications

From your checkouts to your back office, your store needs communication devices. We deliver the entire hardware and software suite to ensure your teams have the right tools – and importantly, the right internet connection – to do their job.

Independent retail IT specialists

We’ve managed and supported independent retail for 20+ years

IT solutions FAQ

Our IT helpdesk is based right here in Australia. So when your retail business needs support, simply pick up the phone and you’ll speak to one of our friendly, local experts.

Absolutely. We know how time-consuming it can be trying to plan, source, deploy, and manage your own IT. As a busy business manager, that’s not your job.

So we provide managed IT retail support that takes care of your entire IT suite for you. From optimising your network, to sourcing and rolling out your hardware, and with proactive IT support, we manage it all for you. You focus on running your store, and we take care of the tech.

There are two options for deploying a Merlin POS solution.

You can choose to buy it outright, where we help to implement your solution for you, and provide ongoing maintenance as an extra cost.

Alternatively, you can choose an SaaS approach, where you rent Merlin POS from us for an ongoing monthly fee. This way, you only pay for what you’re using, and all your maintenance and problem solving is included as part of your ongoing costs.

Get in touch with our team to discuss which Merlin POS solution is right for your business.

Without looking at your equipment first, we can’t say for certain whether or not this is possible. So it’s best that we conduct an IT assessment first, to review your current IT systems and determine the best approach.

Our goal is to help you optimise your store’s IT. So we won’t make you upgrade to any tools and technology that you don’t need. It’s all about ensuring you get more efficient and effective retail IT.
