In modern day, corporate owned businesses are forcing smaller retailers to adapt. Take for example Stein’s Home & Garden which has had to make necessary changes in their stores to keep up.

Across their 16 store chain Stein’s Home & Garden has about 120 POS terminals; about three times the amount needed, however, in their peak seasons they were struggling to keep up with the sales volume. That’s when they decided to go with Stratus Retail to help handle the high volume time periods.

“When you have 12 registers working at once in a single location and lines are filling up, you need a system that can handle that stress. I can’t describe how important it is for us to have that ease of handling to get through a transaction during those busy times. That ultimately leads to a pleasant shopping experience for the customer.”
– Bob Young, CEO, Stein’s Home & Garden
