HP has announced a new Point-of-Sale technology solution to help retailers manage, secure and enhance the sales process. The powerful HP rp580r0 Retail System is a high-performance point-of-sale (POS) solution that combines enhanced processing and functionality to meet the needs of even the most demanding retail environments.
“In many cases, stores are playing catch-up with shoppers accustomed not only to the speed and convenience of purchasing online and on mobile devices, but also to the control it gives them,” said Kobi Elbaz, Director, Client Solutions and Workstations Business Unit, HP EMEA. “To level the playing field, savvy retailers are upgrading their in-store technology – especially at the point of sale – to streamline the management process and provide a positive shopping experience for their customers.”
The HP rp5800 Retail System boasts advanced POS performance, manageability and security features that enable retailers to standardise on one system throughout their stores. Second-generation Intel® Core™ processors with Intel vPro technology provide a stable and reliable IT infrastructure, while dual-integrated graphics ports that support both clerk- and customer-facing displays create a rich and engaging customer experience.
The HP rp5800 also enables enhanced manageability and control for retailers through compliance with industry-leading manageability standards, including Intel AMT (Intel vPro), DASH, WMI and DMTF, and support for Microsoft® Windows 7 Professional, Microsoft Windows POSReady 2009 and Microsoft Windows® XP operating systems.
With extra memory slots, multiple PCI Express slots and optional optical drives, the HP rp5800 can be customised for a variety of retail environments. It can easily be connected to a range of optional peripherals such as receipt printers, monitors, cash drawers and scanners. New optional peripherals include:
HP Integration Assembly: The HP Integration Assembly is a four-part, mix-and-match kit for retail locations. The Terminal Enclosure provides extra security and protection for cables and I/O ports and against dust, while the Integration Tray Assembly keeps peripherals neatly contained – either secured on top of the HP rp5800 Enclosure Assembly, the Heavy Duty Cash Drawer or directly on the counter. With room for a keyboard, printer and barcode scanner, the flexible design allows for various configurations depending on retailers’ needs. The Pole Mount Assembly and Optional Display Arm Assembly enable the mounting of multiple monitors for customer and employee use.
The flexibility and management features of the HP rp5800 enable it to be used as a manager’s workstation, placed within a kiosk or as a player for HP Digital Signage.
