Company background

Intelligent Retail is the first company to design a computer and point of sale (PoS) solution specifically around the needs of the specific UK independent  retailers, starting with the giftware sector. We prefer to look at it as a business management system because it helps in so many areas of the business.

Giftware Connect is developed by a team that includes an independent gift shop owner, a qualified business analyst who trained at Harrods and a specialist computer development company with 17 years experience and an MBA qualified business manager with strong record of business success and turning businesses around.

It came about because, the owners of an independent giftware shop identified many ways to improve the business through IT.  However a suitable product could not be found. So, Intelligent Retail was founded and we developed our own. It is now helping many shops across the UK reap the rewards of improved profitability from increased revenue and reduced costs. As the team expanded we have moved into new sectors with brand new products for Nursery and Homeware retailers. Each of the products is based on the intelligent retail platform, but has been designed around how these different retailers operate their businesses.

"Giftware Connect is a proven solution. Proven reliability and proven to improve profits."

Why Intelligent Retail?

There are so many companies selling PoS computer systems the choice is bewildering to say the least. Busy independent retailers with little experience of technology and limited funds for IT are understandably cautious.

Now there is a new option. Intelligent Retail have designed a solution specifically for certain independent retailers. As your expert IT partner we have selected hardware for you and spent over £¾M developing software. We have other expert partners are on board to help you get the most out of your investment.

Why we are different

Intelligent Retail understand that most independent retailers are not IT experts, but business people with no desire to become knowledgeable about IT, just need a tool to help run the business better. It is vital with software systems like these that they are fully compatible with a business is run, that's why we believe the right product for the right job, not generic tools made to fit. This is why we designed the Connect range of products for complete simplicity.

Now you don’t need to be a computer geek to benefit from IT as our ‘oneClick’ technology and visual stock management means powerful business functionality is available to business owners at the touch of a button. This really can significantly improve your giftware business regardless of your IT proficiency.
