FATFACE
200+ store rollout of hp Engage One POS devices across stores in the UK & USA
Background
FatFace is a British lifestyle clothing and accessories retailer, operating out of 200+ stores across the UK and USA.
An in store infrastructure and mobile POS upgrade was required across all stores (post MS Dynamics 365 implementation).
The Challenge
The deployment of new POS devices throughout the country during the COVID-19 pandemic was a challenge, but working collaboratively with Life Style Sports, software providers and KFP’s POS partner – hp – they were able to deliver a successful rollout during early 2021. From the KFP facility based out of Dublin, the team were able to provide local build, deployment & support functions without disruption, with flexibility being the key to a successful partnership.
The Solution
With over 25 years experience providing retail IT services & support, KFP were confident that they could provide FatFace with a full and professional rollout service across stores in the UK and USA. Additionally, this could be achieve both within the required timeframe and budget.

KFP supplied, built and installed circa. 450x hp Engage One/Go POS devices to circa. 180 stores across the UK as well as the supplying, building and assisting with the rollout of a further approx. 50x Engage One/Go POS devices in circa. 20 stores in the USA. In addition, KFP implemented Wi-Fi services and network cabinet installations as part of the project to support the overall upgrade.

Shaun Chrimes, IT Operations Manager, FatFaceWith an extremely aggressive roll-out timeline across a very diverse store estate, we needed a partner we could trust to act with speed, flexibility and reliability.
