Layout and fixture planning
Aisle flow, category adjacency, counter position and cold chain placed around how customers actually move, then specified as a fixture schedule you can price.
Retail Solutions
Convenience Store Setup
Layout, fixtures, POS, stock control and surveillance delivered as a single project with one schedule — and cabled for the systems you will want in three years.
A store that opens on the date you announced, with every system commissioned before the first customer walks in.
What we deliver
POS, billing and stock control
Tills, scanners, receipt printers and the stock system behind them, configured with your product file and tax rules before opening rather than during trading.
Surveillance and loss prevention
Cameras designed to identification standard at the till, entrance and stockroom door — the three positions that matter — plus access control on the back of house.
Sourcing and procurement
Shelving, refrigeration, counters, signage and hardware sourced against the specification, with real lead times quoted rather than optimistic ones.
Five vendors, five schedules, one delayed opening
The usual way a store gets opened is that the fit-out contractor finishes late, the POS supplier arrives to find no data cabling, the CCTV installer drills through the fresh shopfront, and the stock system is configured the night before trading. Every one of those is a handover failure rather than a technical one.
How we work
-
01
Concept and layout
Floor plan, category plan and fixture schedule agreed against the trading format you are running.
-
02
Specification and sourcing
Full bill of materials for fixtures, systems and hardware, with lead times that drive the build programme.
-
03
Fit-out and installation
Trades sequenced so cabling precedes finishes and nobody drills through completed work.
-
04
Commission and train
Systems tested with real product data, and staff trained on the till before opening day rather than on it.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to open a convenience store?
From an agreed layout to trading is typically eight to fourteen weeks, and the critical path is almost always refrigeration and fixture lead times rather than the build itself. That is why we specify and order before the fit-out starts instead of after.
Can you work with our existing POS system?
Yes. If you already run a POS across other branches we configure the new store on the same platform, because a chain running two different tills has two different sets of reports and no consolidated stock position.
Do we need RFID in a convenience store?
Usually not on day one. At convenience-store basket sizes barcode at the till is cheaper and perfectly adequate — we would rather say so than sell you tags.
Talk to us about Convenience Store Setup.
Site surveys and first consultations cost nothing. If RFID or surveillance is not the right answer for you, we will say so.
