A revenue generation solution for the hospitality industry from Octepos

ipa is delighted to announce that it has recently added Octepos to its list of nominated suppliers. Octepos provides a unique solution to managing all payment, transaction and EPOS requirements in one convenient and easy to operate system. What makes Octepos distinctive is that it is able to seamlessly integrate and manage a number of profit generating elements into one single unit, saving precious time for the business owner. Their revenue generating elements include the ETopUp module and the Text Messaging module.

ETopUP module
 
The ETopUp module offers businesses a new revenue stream for no outlay and with virtually no extra work, enabling customers to top up their mobile phone airtime with immediate effect, whilst increasing both footfall and profit for the business.
 
The Prince Arthur pub in Windsor, Berkshire, was one of the first in the country to offer mobile phone top-ups at the till. Licensee Emma Ballin was looking for a way to supplement her business's income. Top-ups were the answer. Emma was already using the Octepos system, so it was simply a case of adding the ETopUp module to the pub's existing software.
 
Wherever pre-pay users see the green top-up logo they know they can buy airtime.
With promotional stickers and posters provided and all mobile networks covered, take-up has been good. At least £400 worth of top-ups have been sold each week and sometimes a lot more.

The pub receives a commission on each transaction, depending on the mobile network. There is no stock to hold and with each transaction taking less than 10 seconds, Emma has found that it doesn't get in the way of the primary business of serving the customer – while it does add a small but valuable amount to the bottom line.
 
ipa has negotiated with Octepos to provide the ETopUP module free of charge for a limited period of time to all their members.
 

Text Messaging module
 
The Octepos Text Messaging module allows you to make the most of your marketing potential by texting your customers directly about upcoming promotions and offers, or using the service to reconfirm bookings.
 
ipa has negotiated to provide this module free of charge for a limited time period; the only purchase being the text messages.
 
Support
 
On-line backup ensures that your data is secure and on-line support is provided. By remotely dialling into your till the Octepos team are able to fix issues in real time, with minimum impact to your on-going business requirements.
 
Octepos' Account Managers work closely with prospective customers to create a bespoke solution integral to the business. The result is a fast, reliable and easy to use service, tailored specifically to the clients' particular commercial requirements. Octepos is offering ipa members complimentary stock, accounts, customers, bookings and table planner modules for a limited period, when purchasing Octepos Core Software.
