Retail

Innovative and easy to use technologies for businesses of all sizes in the retail sector, from corner shops to department stores. Solutions to improve customer service and convenience and drive footfall.

Technology has never been more important for the retail sector. In a competitive marketplace, technology can be used to capture the attention of potential customers and create an engaging shopping experience. Sharp can help you to deliver a seamless customer journey, from before customers approach your store right through to processing a sale and managing your accounts. 

The retail sector is one of the largest customer sectors that we serve, providing innovative technologies to supermarkets, retail chains, smaller independent stores and more. 

Digital Signage Displays 

We understand the importance of distinctive shop front and window installations, and the critical role of eye-catching digital signage displays. Stand out from the competition and drive footfall with powerful 4K images and videos on Sharp’s professional-grade screens. 

Our digital signage displays offer many benefits: 

  • Make an impression and drive footfall with striking product images and videos 
  • Increase purchases with sales, offers and promotions 
  • Update and manage your content wherever you are, onsite or remotely 
  • Communicate news, stock status or health and safety updates to colleagues and visitors

Managed Print Services 

Whether you’re an independent local store requiring one or two desktop printers, or a large multi-site retailer with staff at shops and offices accessing a fleet of printers and photocopiers throughout the UK, Sharp has a solution for you. 

We have a series of capable yet compact printers allowing you to make the most of your available floor space, and a wide range of advanced, high speed, multi-functional devices for enhanced back-office productivity. 

Our managed print services offer many advantages for retailers, allowing you to: 

  • Ensure staff focus on customers, with automated toner and supplies delivery, as well as proactive maintenance 
  • Make the most of valuable floor space with fewer but more productive printers and photocopiers 
  • Monitor and control printing activity and costs across all sites and departments 
  • Reduce waste, associated print costs and environmental impact 

When coupled with our document workflow software, Sharp’s secure print solutions simplify your accounts payable processes and reduce HR administration.

Retail Digital Transformation Services 

We are proud of our suite of innovative and easy to use technologies, but we believe that these should enhance retail interaction, not replace it.

We work with our clients to understand your processes and your customers, and design bespoke solutions to enable the digital transformation your organisation needs.
