PayPoint has integrated with the PaperRound news management system, allowing PayPoint One retailers to manage their newspaper and magazine stock from Smiths News or Menzies.
Retailers will have access to a free version of the tool, Counter News, which provides daily updates of publication barcodes and prices together with a firm or sale-or-return flag. Return quantities are automatically calculated for easy management of newspaper and magazine credit and wastage tracking. The service can also hold up to 30 customer accounts (‘Shop Saves’) where customers can pay for their goods on account.
The announcement marks the start of several supplier partnerships coming to PayPoint One users in the near future, with Nisa and Booker links already in live tests.
Discussing the launch, Lewis Alcraft, PayPoint’s Commercial Director, said: “News management is critical to running a successful convenience store and we’re delighted to be partnering with PaperRound to enhance our Epos capability. The development with PaperRound will be immediately available to the thousands of retailers who have adopted PayPoint One in their stores.”
PaperRound is available to PayPoint One retailers now, with further information on PayPoint’s website.
