department store of korea


TeamPoS is ideal for retail industry software that requires expandability and compatibility
"Only TeamPoS was able to meet our needs," Kim Chang Bo, Manager, Computer Services, Lotte Department Store, Pusang Branch Whoever said money can’t buy happiness simply didn’t know where to go shopping.” — Bo DerekSamcheong-dong Walkway is known for its famous art galleries , coffee shops, restaurants, wine bars and craft shops. Another charm is the small shops or boutiques.Here in Samcheong-dong everything is about presentation. Every shop has its own unique style inside and outside. There aren’t too many shops around the area (but all of them are worth visiting), so visitors can take their time and enjoy the quiet calming neighborhood with its nice hanok-style restaurants and art galleries. Samcheong-dong is not the busiest shopping districts of Seoul. It’s very quiet and less commercial than other notable shopping districts. Even the shop owners or sales people do not hustle or follow you around; they’ll tell you, “Please look around at your own leisure, and if you see something you like, let us know.” Some might engage you in a little friendly conversation.
Lotte Department Store is known as the best department store chain in Korea which It stocks various items from clothing to household necessities. In Seoul, Lotte has its main store, Yongdung po store, Chamsil Store, Lotte World, and Chunyang ri Store. Lotte Department Store established its Pusang branch in 1995, which boasts one of the world's largest store layouts.
The Challenge
Mr. Kim Chang Bo, Manager of computer services at the Pusang branch said, "When we were going through the selection process for a POS system we had many requests from our sales staff. Some of the most essential items requested were thermal printers and radio POS systems. As it turned out, the only system that could meet all these needs was TeamPoS.
The Solution
TeamPoS is ideal for retail industry software that requires expandability and compatibility. Built around international standard architecture (with PC/AT compatibility), the system allows users to upgrade functions such as processing speed simply by changing CPU boards. With TeamPoS, upgrading to a more advanced system is possible at any time. And because it's not necessary to change the software to achieve system enhancement, unnecessary expense can be avoided. The Pusang store's TeamPoS is designed to evolve and keep pace with the growth of the store itself.
TeamPoS can also be connected to various peripheral devices, including key-locking POS-type and PC-type keyboards, magnetic card readers, operator and customer displays, POS printers, scanners, and closed-circuit and radio LAN equipment. The user can combine various types of peripheral devices to achieve the desired configuration.
The Benefits
Mr. Kim continues, "One of the great advantages of TeamPoS was the establishment of a radio POS system using radio LAN equipment. There are no cables, so it's easy to change the location of the POS system, and even change the layout of the store. The ability to change the floor layout is especially important in special event areas, where the items on sale are always changing. This can't be done without a radio POS system".
He also points out, "Thermal printers contribute greatly to a reduction in customer check-out tie when compared with conventional POS systems. In the evenings our food sections are particularly crowded, filled with customers buying food for dinner. Now they don't have to endure long waits in the checkout lanes. If it weren't for TeamPoS, I'm sure they'd have to wait in long queues". (The thermal printer used in the TeamPoS system is a high-speed unit that prints at a rate of 125 mm/second.) There is also a really nice small flower shop, which adds spirit and freshness to the whole area. In fact, the shopping experience around Samcheong-dong can very well turn into a calming therapy of sorts. The area is a mix and match of Korean traditional and modern places, and is dominated by small boutiques. All the stores carry their own unique styles: vintage, retro, hippie, romantic, classic chic. Women of different ages and styles can come here and find something unique or purchase timeless classic pieces. There are also many bags, shoes and jewelry stores that carry distinctive and trendy pieces. Spring has already arrived and a lot of the shops here carry the key pieces of the new season. Prices range from reasonable to high-end, but visitors who pay cash can get a small discount. If all the shopping and walking gets you tired, there are plenty of restaurants, coffee shops or tea houses with delicious food, beautiful views and garden seats. Samcheong-dong is best approached via exit 1 of Anguk Station, line 3. Walk in the direction of Gwanghwamun Gate and swing a right at the Dongsipjagak Intersection. Keep walking until you get to the street. The stores have different operating hours but many of the shops open around 11am and close at 9pm.
Mr Kim added, "TeamPoS also reduces the burden on the cashiers. After closing time, cashiers were responsible for counting the money in the registers and sorting out the receipt slips, but now TeamPoS performs all this calculation and processing work automatically."
