ACR Epos Systems Brings Cutting-Edge Technology to Islay

Enhancing Islay’s Businesses with ACR Epos Systems

At ACR Epos Systems, we’re dedicated to bringing cutting-edge EPOS solutions to businesses across Scotland, no matter how remote. Our latest journey took us to the breathtaking Isle of Islay, where we upgraded and installed advanced EPOS systems for key businesses across the island.

A Journey to Scotland’s Whisky Isle

Our team traveled to Islay via CalMac Ferries, heading straight to some of the island’s most renowned businesses. From world-famous distilleries to hotels, restaurants, and community stores, our mission was clear: to enhance efficiency and streamline operations with Vmax Epos Terminals, SPOS Software, and SPOS Cloud Backoffice Software.

Ardnahoe Distillery

Nestled on Islay’s northeast coast, between Port Askaig and the famous Caol Ila and Bunnahabhain distilleries, Ardnahoe Distillery boasts stunning views of the Sound of Islay. With a visitor center, retail facilities, and a whisky bar, it’s a must-visit for whisky lovers.

We conducted a system check to ensure all EPOS technology was running optimally. Our team also introduced the distillery to advanced features that could further enhance their stock management system.

Bowmore Distillery

Located on the southeastern shore of Loch Indaal, Bowmore Distillery is one of Scotland’s oldest, dating back to 1779. This historic distillery continues to produce world-renowned whisky.

Our visit focused on system maintenance and advising the team on ways to maximize their EPOS software’s efficiency. Their integrated stock management system is essential for keeping up with high demand.

Laphroaig Distillery

Founded in 1815 by Donald and Alexander Johnston, Laphroaig Distillery sits on the south coast of Islay near Port Ellen. Known for its distinctive peaty whisky, it’s a favorite among enthusiasts.

We ensured that their EPOS systems were performing optimally and introduced features to improve efficiency. Their stock management integration continues to support their busy operations.

Kilchoman Distillery

As Islay’s smallest and only independent farm distillery, Kilchoman produces whisky entirely on-site. Since acquiring Rockside Farm in 2015, they’ve expanded their operations significantly.

Our visit included a full system check and software upgrades, particularly for SPOS Remote Handheld Ordering, allowing for faster service and improved efficiency.

Peatzeria

Since opening in 2017, Peatzeria has become a favorite dining spot on Islay, offering delicious pizza and pasta. Owned by a local entrepreneur, it’s a perfect blend of modern dining and island hospitality.

The restaurant upgraded to a faster VMAX Terminal and SPOS EPOS Software. We also optimized their SPOS Remote Handheld Ordering system, streamlining their ordering process.

Port Charlotte Hotel

A charming four-star hotel in the conservation village of Port Charlotte, this family-run establishment is a favorite for both locals and visitors.

We upgraded their EPOS software and introduced the Time & Attendance feature, making staff management more efficient.

SeaSalt

Situated in the harbor of Port Ellen, SeaSalt is a lively bistro-takeaway, ideal for ferry travelers and locals alike.

We performed a system upgrade, ensuring the latest EPOS software was in place for seamless transactions.

Port Askaig Hotel

Overlooking the Sound of Islay, this family-run Highland Inn has been in operation for over 50 years. Due to its location, it serves as a hub for travelers heading to Jura, Colonsay, and the mainland.

With an aging EPOS system in place for 15 years, the hotel opted for a full upgrade to a modern, high-speed system. We installed VMAX Epos Terminals and SPOS Epos Software, preparing them for a busy season ahead.

Jura Community Store

The only general store on the island of Jura, this shop serves both residents and local businesses.

After years of using an outdated system, they upgraded to a faster, more reliable EPOS solution. Their customer account system, which emails monthly balances to residents, remains seamlessly integrated.

McTaggart Leisure

This community-owned facility in Bowmore has grown from a simple swimming pool in 1991 to a state-of-the-art leisure center.

We installed VMAX Epos Terminals with SPOS Software and SPOS Cloud Backoffice Software, improving transaction efficiency, real-time reporting, and management control.

Expertise in Action

Our engineers, Euan & Logan, worked diligently to install and configure these systems, ensuring every business was set up for success. Thanks to their expertise, businesses across Islay now benefit from faster, more reliable, and more efficient EPOS solutions tailored to their needs.
