HP has announced two versatile new point-of-sale systems designed to deliver fast, effective customer service while enabling retailers and hospitality business owners to better manage their operations.

The HP RP3 Retail System, Model 3100 is a compact and versatile retail system that provides options for multiple store environments. Despite its small footprint, the HP RP3 does not compromise on the connectivity and reliability features that retailers of all sizes depend on.

“Retailers require highly reliable systems that can withstand the demands of a variety of environments,” said Carl Hansen, Market Development Manager, HP New Zealand. “With these new offerings, HP is broadening our portfolio to meet the unique needs of our customers. Both platforms are assembled locally in Australia, which provides an unique value-proposition to the Australian retail market by offering a high degree of configurability and reduced leadtime.”
