Background

Toys"R"Us & Babies"R"Us had been considering a transition to a tablet POS (mobile POS) system to reduce space and improve operational efficiency, prompted by the renewal of the maintenance contract for their long-standing POS system. The company required a solution that could meet complex operational demands unique to large-scale retailers, such as managing over 300,000 products, supporting diverse sales formats including bundle sales, and integrating with their core systems and proprietary point program. After comparing multiple vendors, "POS+" was selected as the only cloud-based mobile POS system capable of meeting these requirements, including through custom development.

With the introduction of "POS+", the company will not only benefit from the space-saving advantages and faster transaction processing inherent to mobile POS systems, but also achieve significant efficiency improvements in returns processing, which was previously very time-consuming due to complex sales formats. Furthermore, by integrating QR code payments directly into the POS, payment processing fees will be reduced. As a cloud-based system, it also allows for immediate adaptation to legal changes, such as consumption tax reductions, through app updates.

POSTAS will continue to support the improvement of operational efficiency and productivity for service providers by offering "POS+", a cloud-based mobile POS system designed to address the operational challenges of stores of all sizes and formats, from large chains to individual shops.

From Joe Rosolanko, Divisional Director IT – Japan, Toys"R"Us Japan, Ltd.

This upgrade of our point-of-sale system across all our stores nationwide is a significant step in fulfilling our commitment to providing a superior experience for both our customers and our store staff. While our previous system served us well for many years, the increasing operational risks associated with its aging infrastructure and the constraints it imposed on store operations led us to make this system upgrade a strategic priority.

Our partnership with POSTAS gives us great confidence. POSTAS's advanced solution will streamline the daily operations of our store staff and provide the technological foundation to support stable store operations, especially during peak seasons.

Furthermore, by right-sizing our cash registers, we will be able to effectively utilize the space at the front of our stores, leading to an enhanced in-store customer experience. POSTAS's solution also optimizes digital payments, enabling improvements in payment costs that were difficult to achieve with our previous system. Combined with a reduction in TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), we anticipate a high return on investment from a financial perspective.

We are extremely proud to be able to roll out this system across our entire store network nationwide. We are confident that this investment will form the foundation for Toys"R"Us Japan to evolve into a more modern, resilient, and customer-centric company.

From Shinsaku Matsunaga, Enterprise Sales Department, MSS Operations Division, POSTAS Co., Ltd.

This POS implementation for Toys"R"Us Japan has been a very significant project for us as well. We were able to drive this project forward as a unified team, based on the high expectations of our customers for a cloud-based mobile POS and a clear policy of maximizing the standard functions of POS+.

We believe that the successful nationwide rollout was made possible by Toys"R"Us Japan's commitment to high operational quality and their on-site expertise in store operations. We will continue to strive to provide ongoing value for the next phase to meet our customers' expectations.
