Virgin Media Chooses Cybertill Epos For New Stand-Alone Stores

Published 14th June 2007

EPoS technology company, Cybertill Limited, has revealed that its point-of-service software is driving Virgin Media’s first own-fascia stores and underpinning the retailer’s plans for expansion.

Virgin Media operates in 100+ ‘shops-within-shops’ in Virgin Megastores nationwide. After its acquisition by NTL Telewest last year, it now has five stand-alone stores as part of a strategy to create a nationwide chain.

Virgin Media’s new distribution strategy and the requirement to support Chip & PIN processing prompted an evaluation of its incumbent EPoS system. The time was felt right to move to a more contemporary and functional system and, after considering a number of alternatives, the cybertill solution landed the contract.

Delivered as an ASP service over a virtual private network, cybertill reduces the cost, risk and management overheads of traditional EPoS systems.

Ian Villalard, Operations Manager at Virgin Media, was responsible for selecting Cybertill. He explains: “Cybertill ticked all our boxes, both as a supplier and a solution. The company is forward-looking and its software is innovative, cost-competitive and scalable. All this makes Cybertill an ideal partner as we grow our store estate.”

Once the contract had been won, development started to customise the solution to Virgin Media’s needs. These included Chip & PIN implementation and integration with the retailer’s Strategix stock management system.

The cybertill software is installed on J2 920 integrated touchscreen computers supplied by J2 Retail Systems via their Box Technologies distributor. This is the company’s de facto choice for clients requiring a Chip & PIN-compliant point-of-sale solution.

Part of cybertill’s appeal is its ability to customise the point-of-service to a client ‘look and feel’. In the case of Virgin Media, the till points display its trademark brand values of ‘cool and contemporary’, designed to appeal to the retailer’s predominantly youthful target customers.

The ease of reporting offered by cybertill was seen by Virgin Media as another big plus. Continues Villalard: “One of our main business drivers was......"
