Creating the future of retail with the ‘Store of Tomorrow’
If you’re struggling to picture how your customers’ online experience could be integrated with your offline presence, you’re not alone. It’s hard to picture how traditional brick-and-mortar stores could be transformed. But just imagine: customers walking into a store that instantly recognises them. Personalised digital displays. Effortless checkouts with no lines and no hassles.
At Truis, we don’t just imagine the future of retail — we’ve been hard at work building it. We call it the ‘Store of Tomorrow’. It’s a retail experience that gives you the opportunity to interact with advanced industry tech from the world’s leading vendors.

for your success
At Truis, our goal is to support you with the best solutions, designed to meet your unique needs. That’s why we partner with the world’s leading technology vendors, so we can provide you with the right solution based on our unbiased research.
When it comes to retail, we love partnering with vendors such as HP — a global market leader for retail IT solutions. Their hardware works exceptionally well with other vendors’ technology, and, because you’re not locked into one operating system, we can work with you to select and configure the best POS system for your team.
Along with HP, we’re bringing you four ways that technology can
completely transform your in-store operations. Let’s dive in.
Empowering your customers
If you’ve ever stood around in a store waiting to flag down a staff member, you’ll understand how valuable of an investment self-serve kiosks can be. In the ‘Store of Tomorrow’, customers are empowered to explore new products and access tailored advice — all using a self-service kiosk like the HP Engage Express.
At Truis, we’ll work with you to understand the basic tasks that your customers would like to complete on their own. From product discovery to checkout, your customers will be able to explore your range, find complementary products, navigate your store and check inventory levels, all with a few taps of the Engage Express’s highly responsive screen.
Mobilising your workforce
Having an engaging mobile team is one of the best ways your store can support customers, improve in-store experience, and speed up processes. Gone are the days of sending customers and staff back to a central retail counter to check stock levels, order products, or complete purchases. With a mobile Point of Sale solution (POS), like the HP Engage Go, your team will be able to perform all critical tasks from anywhere within your store.
This means staff can easily support customers wherever they find themselves. Your team can show them complementary products, which they’ll be able to pick up and examine — one of the key reasons that consumers choose brick-and-mortar stores over eCommerce. They can also look up the customers’ sales history easily to help them find products they’ve purchased previously, all within a few taps of the screen.
Protecting your profitability
No matter how large or small your business, your Point of Sale system is one of the most overlooked points of vulnerability for retailers. The more devices you connect to your central system, including handheld scanners, self-serve kiosks, and tablets, the more opportunities there are for malware, viruses, and other issues to invade your system.
The solution? To invest in a powerful and incredibly secure POS, like the HP Engage. You’ll be able to completely customise it to manage inventory, sales, and all your other critical business functions with ease. Not only that, it works with your choice of operating system so you can choose the best solution for your business.
Blending your online and in-store experiences
Your store likely has a wealth of data at your fingertips that could be used to make your in-store experience even better for your customers. Think: personalised recommendations based on past purchase behaviour, hyper-relevant messaging displayed throughout your store, and the ability to explore complementary purchase options.
By combining the power of machine learning, AI, and some cleverly positioned touchscreen monitors, you’ll be able to take all of the benefits of shopping online and make them available to your customers in a retail environment.
Our approach to building your ‘Store of Tomorrow’
Whenever we partner with a new retail client, we start by deploying on a small scale before we roll out your new solution nationwide. This ensures we’ve tested the system’s proof of value and measured the effects on the store.
