Retail store IT setup in Sydney, from ordering to opening day
Opening a new store or refitting an old one? I handle the whole technology side: ordering the hardware, POS and internet, setting it all up and testing it, getting it to site, installing it, then supporting you for the first 30 days so any problems after opening get sorted quickly. One person looks after it from start to finish.
The whole rollout, handled
- Plan and order. I work out what the store needs, then order the POS hardware, computers, network gear and internet service so it all arrives on time.
- Build and test before it ships. Equipment is set up and tested ahead of time, so on install day it's a matter of plugging in, not troubleshooting.
- Ship to site and install. Hardware goes to the store, gets installed, and every register, terminal and printer is tested before you trade.
- 30 days of support. After opening I stay on call for 30 days to sort anything that comes up once real customers start coming through.
What I set up in a store
POS and registers
Registers, receipt printers, scanners and cash drawers connected to your POS system, such as Shopify POS, Square or Lightspeed, plus back office computers.
Payment terminals
EFTPOS terminals on their own separate network connection, so payments stay fast and aren't sharing a network with guest Wi-Fi. Your payment provider supplies and supports the terminal itself.
Internet and backup
The internet service ordered and connected, with a business router that switches to mobile data automatically if the main connection drops, so you can keep taking payments.
Network and Wi-Fi
Tidy network cabling and a wall mounted or standalone cabinet, with separate Wi-Fi for staff, devices and customers.
Questions retailers ask
Do you build counters or do the shopfit?
No. I handle the technology only. I work with your shopfitter to plan where power and data points go, so the cabling for registers and terminals ends up in the right spots.
What happens if the internet drops on a busy day?
The router I install has a mobile data backup built in. If the main connection drops it switches over automatically, so your registers and EFTPOS stay online.
Can you connect the store to our Shopify website?
Yes. If you use Shopify POS in store, I set it up so in store sales and your online stock come from the same system. I also build Shopify stores if you need the online side too.
What does the 30 days of support cover?
Anything to do with the setup I installed: a printer that stops printing, a terminal that drops off the network, staff who need a hand with the registers. You call me directly, not a helpdesk.
