TO help its 300 Scottish customers stay on the right side of minimum unit pricing regulations The Retail Data Partnership has updated its ShopMate EPOS system.
The system now features a dedicated report to highlight any alcoholic products sold in the last 28 days which fall below the minimum legal price.
The Retail Data Partnership said this function will enable users to amend their prices quickly and ensure compliance with the legislation.
It also warns the retailer of any non-compliance issues when there is a new price for any alcohol product.
Marketing manager James Loker explained how the software works during a sale: “As well as confirming compliance before any price changes are committed, ShopMate also checks for the minimum unit price of any alcohol product when it is scanned.
“If it deems a price to be non-compliant, a warning is presented to the user allowing them to update the information held on ShopMate about the product, modify the price to ensure compliance, ignore the warning or void the product from the transaction.”
