by | May 16, 2017 | News | 0 comments

London?s most historic garden centre Clifton Nurseries is using Vector EPOS from CSY Retail Systems for seamless transactions and stock management in-store and online, following the store?s acquisition by Gavin Jones Ltd.

As part of its acquisition, Gavin Jones has renamed its original garden retail centre, The Plantation, as Clifton Surrey.? CSY?s Vector EPOS Systems is already installed there and the new EPOS tills at the Clifton London branch are fully integrated in to the Group?s system.

?For us it was important to install a system which allows us to integrate our online and in-store stock so that customers get the brilliant experience they expect from Clifton Nurseries,? said Alison Durnford, marketing and Ecommerce manager, Gavin Jones Ltd.

?Vector EPOS from CSY allowed us to connect a new branch to the group system easily. Our online shop is fully integrated via API to Vector, so we can sell from our live stock system and price changes and details automatically update.

?It makes it easy for us for ordering stock too. We can make big orders and easily transfer the right amounts between each branch and online. The system makes everything run more smoothly.?

Clifton Nurseries has been Inspiring gardeners since 1851, so it?s seen many changes in retail. The CSY Vector EPOS System keeps it up to date with the latest technology to give customers the same great service they?ve had for over 150 years.

CSY is the leading provider of EPOS systems to garden centres, with over 70 outlets across the UK using the Vector EPOS System.
