PayPoint has announced a new partnership with the Association of Convenience Stores (ACS) to make their Assured Advice programme available to all retailers via their PayPoint One platform. Retailers can access industry leading support on all aspects of regulatory compliance for onvenience retailing via their device or the PayPoint website. ACS is the voice of over 33,500 local shops and offers comprehensive advice as part of their Assured Advice guides and Training Scheme.
Steve O’Neill, Group Marketing Director at PayPoint, commented: “The ACS is a fantastic organisation providing industry leading support for convenience retailers. Working together with the ACS on their Assured Advice programme is a natural partnership that supports our commitment to helping independent retailers improve their businesses alongside our continued focus on innovative services that provide a platform for growth for stores across the UK.”
Association of Convenience Stores chief executive James Lowman said: “We are delighted to be working with PayPoint to utilise their in-store technology, giving retailers and their colleagues the power to access up-to-date advice and guidance from the shop floor. Adding ACS Assured Advice to the PayPoint One platform gives retailers further support and access to information about how they can stay on the right side of the rules and regulations affecting their business”.
Assured Advice is free for ACS members, providing one set of in-store standards that must be respected by local enforcement authorities. To date, the Assured Advice guides at ACS.org.uk have been downloaded over 100,000 times.
All of the guides are available to download free at www.acs.org.uk/advice
