To date, 16 redemption centres have had Encorp’s Ensys Connex Point-of-Sale (POS) system installed at their centre and the results speak for themselves.
Gilles Poirier, owner/operator of Billy’s Bottle Exchange in Dalhousie says that their business has improved since installing the POS system. “We’ve been able to set up accounts for clients and pay them via e-transfer,” says Mr. Poirier. “Our clients have told us that the service is a lot quicker, and they appreciate that they now get receipts when they deposit their bottles.”
Meanwhile, it’s a similar story in Memramcook at the Association pour integration Communautaire. Supervisor Kenny MacKillop says that since the installation of the POS system, it’s made things easier on staff.
“We’ve essentially stopped having to do manual math. Our counts improved and have been more accurate.” Mr. MacKillop says other centres who have not jumped on board with the system should do so quickly. “This system is so user friendly and it has made our lives so much easier as far as day-to-day operations.”
Along with the Association pour integration communautaire Memramcook and Billy’s Bottle Exchange, the POS system has been installed at two Valley Redemption Centre locations in Moncton along with their location in Quispamsis, Valley Glass Recycling in Dieppe, Acadia Bottle Exchange in Cap-Pelé, Porter’s Redemption Centre in Doaktown, and Sully’s Bottle Depot in Chipman among others.
The POS system will allow RCs to process and record transactions and will support the counting and sorting of beverage containers from walk-in and pre-count customers. Additionally, we will maintain the system for you! Most maintenance can be done remotely with limited impact on employees. Additionally, it will improve the customer experience by providing smoother and more transparent transactions.
