Pointofsale has completed a successful rollout of POSitive and HeadOffice for Welcome Break, throughout the UK. An aggressive rollout of three sites per day took place over a three week period during December, totaling twenty three sites, with 177 Stores, close to 500 POSitive POS terminals, 100 Kitchen Production Monitors, 50 Workstations & Back Office Servers. All Positive workstations and point of sale terminals are linked to Pointofsale Ltd's Positive HOST Server at Welcome Break's Head Office, with centralized management of procis, promotions, suppliers, and keyboards at the till level.

Pointofsale Ltd. has established a permanent, UK-based Project Management and Support Organization, which is provided to Welcome Break under a long-term Service Level Agreement. Future phases of the project may include Fuel & Forecourt Management, Inventory Management, Time & Attendance Management, Labor Scheduling, OLAP Decision Support Software, and on-line credit card authorization (EFT).

Tesco Stores are the leading food retailer in the UK with 550 Superstore complexes and another 150 stores recently acquired in Ireland, Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic. In 1995 Tesco commissioned POS, through SNI UK, to provide what was then termed their "next generation" PoS" software product. Following delivery in 1996, Tesco entered a 3 year 'roll out' agreement with POS for 21,000 licenses in the Tesco Supermarkets, Garage and Coffee Shop checkouts. By end 1998, over 50% of the roll out plan was already accomplished.

In November 1999, the Pilot of the new NT Fuel system at Ongar, a convenience store in North London, went ahead. On this system, the Fuel layer interfacing to the Site controller (pump controller) and to the Till checkout, using on-line authorization (OLA) for credit cards.
Tesco are planning to pilot a second store in February 2000 and full rollout to 200 stores in June-July 2000.

The fuel system is built using a component-based architecture, where most components are generic and used in different projects around the globe as well as in different Pointofsale environments i.e. POSware, Iss45 and Positive. The same presentation layer (PosPump application) and the same business rule manager (PumpSrv) are used, the only difference is the one layer which is replaced according to the customer's specific controller (usually known as the convert layer).
