The fastest way to bring innovation into your stores

Minimizing time-to-store in five steps

 

Customization

STEP — 01

Basic Customization through Parameters

Even the most complex corporate structures can be managed with a small footprint. The OmniPOS® multi-client capability allows you to run different business areas or sales lines in parallel on one database installation. This lays the foundation for running the solution either as a software-as-a-service or in the cloud.

 

Process Modelling

STEP — 02

Process Modelling

A Domain-Specific Language (DSL) defines the internal workflow and checkout operation procedures. Retailers can directly adapt, transfer, and activate the generated process descriptions in real time, without a software update or separate rollout.

 

User Interfaces

STEP — 03

Implementation of User Interfaces in HTML5

Implementing the immediate user environment is achieved by customizing the structure and design of the graphical user interface. It is based on HTML5 and CSS, making it extremely flexible and easy to adapt to the needs of different device classes.

 

App-Enablement

STEP — 04

App-Enablement

App-enablement for OmniPOS® is a revolutionary expansion concept. It allows retailers to integrate external apps directly into the POS interface. They can communicate with the checkout and access external web services via an API. As a result, functional extensions can be carried out very quickly, without interference with the core system. The apps provide additional features for the user or useful end-user applications right at the POS. Examples include customer and context specific product recommendations, detailed product information, and third party systems process-oriented integration.

Extension by Programming

STEP — 05

Extension by Programming

OmniPOS® provides a complete software development kit (SDK) that enables release-compatible extensions at all levels of the system. Rigorous development patterns ensure that customer-specific adjustments and extensions do not alter the standard product. Documented APIs, a clear layer architecture, and technologies such as Inversion of Control and Dependency Injection prevent changes to the product core and reduce migration complexity.

What our customers say

“Thanks to GK Software, we now operate all Austrian and Italian MPREIS supermarkets, and all branches of our gastro sales line, BAGUETTE, with a uniform POS solution. We are much more efficient than in the past, especially regarding country-independent functional extensions and in the operation of our POS systems.”
Martin Tscherner
CIO, MPREIS

Andreas Bierlmeier
Senior Director Digital Store Solutions, adidas
"We chose GK AIR Personalization as our personalization solution because it achieved the best results in our A/B/C tests compared to the other competitors. For us, good consulting and support was also important. During the PoC, we were encouraged that GK was the right partner for us."
Holger Stary
Director Digital Technology at HSE
“We’re still a relatively young retailer and our partnership with GK has been instrumental in helping us execute in the present and prepare for the future. Its highly responsive solutions and team have made it easy for us to meet our customers’ exact needs.”
Ignacio Ibarguen
Director, Business Analysis & IT Development, PGA TOUR Superstore
"We used this project to further optimize the collaboration between Thalia and GK. We’re seeing huge benefits: We are much faster and no longer require significant additional effort when it comes to driving new release or product updates. It’s a great advantage that OmniPOS gives us the opportunity to integrate our own apps into the checkout. As a result, we see ourselves today at an operational level as a large cross-location and cross-company project team that works together on solutions."
Francesco Di Maggio
Manager SAP POS Thalia
"We were completely won over by the results of GK AIR Dynamic Pricing, so we decided to use the AI solution in the long term. By quickly adjusting prices, we can compensate for fluctuations in demand or rising commodity prices. At the same time, we are able to increase gross profit and margin through intelligent pricing."
Oliver Schepers
Managing Director
“GK has delivered on schedule. The results were better than expected.”
David Cohn

GK’s dedicated and professional support performance has been vital to the ongoing success of our partnership since 2012.”
