PXtech makes Midlands Business Awards shortlist

We pride ourselves on providing innovative business intelligence solutions specifically tailored for each client, whether they’re based down the road or across the pond.

Over the last few years we’ve been working for more and more businesses from countries all over the world, and it seems that our international success is getting us noticed here at home - securing us yet another award nomination.

We are pleased to say that we have been shortlisted for the Exporter of the Year title at the Midlands Business Awards 2012.

Coming hot on the heels of the “Achievement in International Business” gong which we received at the Derbyshire Chamber of Commerce’s Best in Business Awards, and the “Technology Vendor” award presented by Subway, making the Midlands Business Awards’ shortlist rounds off a very successful period of recognition for PXtech.

The winners will be announced at the Midlands Business Awards 2012 held on Friday 3rd February so we’ll be keeping our fingers firmly crossed until then.

The Sweet Smell of Success

IT business solutions are all about delivering rapid, specialised and effective responses to the client’s needs and when leading independent greeting card retailer Penmark Cards approached PXtech to devise a till solution for their new concept store, Aroma, we jumped at the opportunity to provide a tailor-made product for a Midlands’ business that is really going places.

The team at Aroma was looking for a till solution which encompassed all the key controls needed for their store set-up including sales, labour management and stock control but most importantly, the management team needed business performance information at their fingertips, delivered in real-time.

We put together a solution using the PXportal product linked to ICRtouch POS software, providing the all-essential live access to real-time sales data allowing them to:
• effectively monitor the store’s performance
• identify the success of individual product lines and store layouts
• drive Aroma’s business performance forward

The solution was up and running within two weeks of order, providing the controls the business needed, as swiftly as it was needed so that Aroma could get on with bringing handmade, natural cosmetics and all things home fragrance to their customers.
