Beddgelert Woodcraft occupies an incredible location by the junction of two clear mountain-fresh rivers in what appears to be a perfect location for one of Wales’ best stocked gift shops. Nine years after their installation of their first Touchretail EPOS system, Beddgelert Woodcraft were ready to implement real-time data updating as their business embraces online technology.
Village in Bloom Winner
Beddgelert is renowned as one of the prettiest villages in North Wales, winner of many Village in Bloom competitions for Wales, Britain, and Europe.
Situated at the foot of Snowdon, the village centre is an ancient stone bridge near where two rivers meet. Stone houses are jumbled against each other below rocky outcrops, and riverside walks skirt tree-fringed rivers. This has got to be one of those places where doing your days work is a real pleasure.
Hand Crafted Gifts
Business owners Jane and James combine trips to the Far East to source genuine hand crafted gifts, with hectic days at the store juggling large containers deliveries and coach-loads of tourists. But then in between there is the joy of living in such a beautiful and unique setting.
Nine years on from their initial system, the back office is still going strong but the tills were slow by modern standards with small text-based screens. James has decided to go for Touchretail’s Toshiba B10 touchscreen option and was more than impressed with the instant sales information on the back office.
Real Time Updating
Beddgelert Woodcraft are considering an upgrade to the existing website and, like most retailers, agree that that it is important to have the latest real-time data updating between back office, EPOS and website that Touchretail offer.
Beddgelert Woodcraft is an incredible mix of gifts, so be prepared for a few surprises if you decide to visit this wonderful place. Good luck to Jane and James and I look forward to the next relaxed visit, including the sandwich at the local pub!
