• 02.10.09 - GIVe George Davies

• 

  Unless you’ve been a clown in space for the last few days, you will be aware of the publicity attracted by George Davies’ fourth project aptly named GIVe (the roman numerals theme is used for sizing too, which is okay for togas but a little misunderstood in a modern store environment).
  
  October 1st was the launch date for the first wave of GIVe stores – some operated by GIVe, and others on a partnership basis within established department stores. Barkers department store in Northallerton, North Yorkshire was selected as one of the first wave of independent department stores to feature an area of around 1,000 sq. ft. dedicated to GIVe. After assessing potential suppliers for the stock control, EPOS and data transfer requirements Barkers awarded the contract to Touchretail. There is a close synergy between the GIVe multi-channel strategy and Touchretail’s existing range of multi-channel software solutions.
  
  The interchange of software between the GIVe system, Barkers EPOS and stock control is handled by Touchretail’s real-time data exchange software module as used by other multi-channel systems installed by Touchretail.
