REW Tech integrates Star hardware

Modern cloud-based POS software is supported by reliable hardware components and Star thermal receipt printers have been integrated as a core component of REW Tech’s POS-as-a-Service offering.

As receipt handling is an essential function in retail, reliability is critical and REW Tech has found Star printers to deliver high speed and stable thermal receipt printing, seamless compatibility with Android-based POS environments, reliable connectivity alongside a compact and modern retail design.

Linus Rosing, Project Manager, REW Tech, comments: “The consistency and operational stability of Star hardware enable us to deliver a standardised and scalable store setup across our customer base.  Integration has been smooth and straightforward with Star products working seamlessly within our Android-based POS architecture, requiring minimal configuration and support. The compatibility and reliability have made it easy to standardise deployments across multiple stores, and it is precisely this simplicity that is essential for us given our model is built around efficient rollouts and predictable implementations.”

Flexible and Modern Solutions for Retail

REW Tech focuses on providing solutions that facilitate a more agile store environment aligned with how modern retail operates today.  Across several retail customers, the company has seen:

– Up to 50% reduction in network-related costs

– Approximately 75% reduction in POS hardware investment when replacing traditional Windows-based POS terminals with Android devices

– Lower total cost of ownership

– Increased operational flexibility

Customers benefit from a modern, secure and scalable setup while significantly lowering their capital expenditure, as highlighted by one satisfied customer.

Kristoffer Olsson, IT Manager, Life Stores AB: “As part of our strategic review of store operations, it became clear that we needed to reassess our entire store IT environment. Our previous setup required significant upfront investments and lacked the flexibility needed to support a modern retail operation. Implementing REW Tech’s Store as a Service model became a pivotal step in our modernisation journey.”

Kristoffer Olsson adds: “The solution allowed us to transition from traditional, capital-intensive POS environments to a fully managed service covering both network infrastructure and POS operations. Hardware, support, lifecycle management and security were consolidated under one agreement and one accountable partner.”

He further explains how this was not just a technical upgrade but a business-critical decision: “We were able to significantly reduce our upfront investment costs while simultaneously gaining a modern, mobile and more secure store platform. The service-based model provided improved cost control and predictability, which was essential given our financial situation. Partnering with REW Tech has simplified our day-to-day IT management and given us confidence that our store infrastructure is stable, scalable, and future-ready. Store as a Service has been a key enabler in our modernisation strategy and has laid the foundation for a more sustainable and flexible IT structure moving forward.”
