Retail Technology Solutions

With decades of experience in operational technology, Kestronics supports organisations in the retail sector with solutions that improve visibility, accuracy and productivity. Our approach combines mobile computing, scanning, RFID, printing, networking and managed services to underpin critical daily store and fulfilment operations.

Supporting Everyday Operations in Retail

Modern retail spans stores, concessions, dark stores, click-and-collect, e-commerce fulfilment and returns. Whether you are focused on shelf availability, price accuracy, queue reduction or back-of-store efficiency, Kestronics brings together the hardware, software and services required to raise performance across your estate.

Our approach typically helps retailers achieve:

• Better visibility of stock, locations and movements across store and DC
• Faster, more accurate data capture for replenishment, markdowns and stock counts
• Improved checkout and payment experiences at fixed and mobile POS
• Greater consistency across multi-site and multi-country operations
• Reduced downtime through proactive monitoring, staging and managed services

These benefits are supported by our wider platforms, including Operational Workflow Solutions, Hardware Solutions and Software Solutions.
