The team at Retail-J has been at the forefront of store systems since 1990 and was one of the first to build retail applications using DOS, UNIX, Windows 16 bit and 32 bit platforms. The series of firsts continues: Retail-J was the first company to install a web-based J2EE™ technology retail system with Hutchison 3G – recognised when Retail-J won the European Retail Solutions Awards in 2003 – and the first to deploy a POS system on a Linux open source platform in Matalan. The team continues to strive to bring new, functionally rich and highly flexible products to market to meet the demands of modern retailing.

Retail-J is a core package. Not only does this make it much simpler than heavily customised or bespoke systems to roll out, it also means that all our customers use consistent versions of the software. Our strategy is to continue to enhance this core, while developing our application development expertise and resources. By remaining focussed on products and their core technologies we keep abreast of the latest developments and produce generic applications that satisfy a wide range of retail sectors.

Retail-J software products are sold, deployed and supported through a network of specialist retail systems integrators. Click here for more information about our partners.
