Tantalus has opened in Macclesfield, Cheshire as a purveyor of fine wines and select malt whiskies. The new venture is targeted at discerning consumers who are looking for a wide range of quality wines and choice malt whiskies that would not be commonly available from the usual supermarkets or discount off licences.

When looking for an EPOS partner, it was important for Tantalus to select a company that offered a cost effective ‘starter’ solution, but which could be added to when their business requirements evolved.

Mike Pattison, co-owner of Tantalus, explained: ‘Tantalus has been created to offer a personal service for customers looking for quality wines and malt whiskies. We offer tastings of selected wines and malts, and will endeavour to meet any special orders.

‘Our business plan includes an integrated website and instore customer database, with special promotions, tastings and events to keep our customers informed and interested. It was very important for Tantalus to partner with an EPOS company that had a track record of successful e-commerce clients, and proven support for independent retailers.

‘Touchretail were able to offer a prompt implementation for our new store, and already have the added requirements in place for our business expansion plans. We’ve been impressed by their service and support, and we look forward to the next phase of our business plan that will bring the website sales into the mix.’

Tantalus offer a special order service for many non-stocked items, free gift-wrap service and business customer monthly accounts. Sitting happily alongside the vintage Dom Perignon champagnes are bin ends at less than £5 a bottle. And with excellent malt whiskies from over £1000 a bottle to under £20, the choice is staggering.

Touchretail are pleased to provide the business solution to such a customer–focused and progressive retailer as Tantalus.
