Epos specialist Henderson Technology has enhanced its EDGEPoS system with digital media screens, upgraded Electronic Shelf Edge Labels and an automated date checking feature.
Available in a range of sizes, the LED displays enable retailers to schedule content in advance, ensuring promotions are always timely and relevant throughout the day.
By replacing static signage with digital displays, forecourt operators can adapt messaging in real time – from breakfast offers to evening meal deals – helping to increase engagement and drive incremental sales, particularly in high-margin areas such as food-to-go.
The screens form part of a wider, fully integrated EDGEPoS system, allowing retailers to manage promotions, pricing and content from a single platform. This joined-up approach is particularly valuable in forecourt environments, where speed, clarity and consistency are essential across both shop and fuel operations.
In addition, Henderson Technology has introduced updated ESEL templates featuring a new four-colour format, designed to deliver greater visibility and stronger in-store impact. The enhanced templates help retailers create more eye-catching pricing and promotional displays, while maintaining consistency across digital signage and shelf-edge communication.
A new automated date checking feature has also been launched to streamline one of the most time-consuming in-store tasks. The system automatically flags products for review based on configurable ‘offset days’, enabling staff to quickly identify which items require attention.
Early trials have delivered significant results, with stores reporting a minimum saving of one hour per day in labour, as well as reductions in waste and improvements in gross profit. The feature is available with an introductory three-month free trial, allowing retailers to evaluate the impact on their operations with no initial commitment.
Darren Nickels, Retail Technology Operations Director at Henderson Technology, said: “Forecourt retailers are under constant pressure to do more with less – whether that’s managing labour, reducing waste or driving additional spend in-store. These latest innovations are all about giving retailers practical tools that make a real difference day to day.
“Digital media screens allow stores to bring their offers to life and react quickly to trading opportunities, while our updated ESEL templates help create stronger visibility and a more consistent in-store experience across promotions and pricing. Features like automated date checking also take away manual processes and free up valuable time for staff. It’s about using technology to simplify operations, improve efficiency and ultimately create a better experience for both retailers and their customers.”
