While still in the development process, the first contacts had been realized in Tanzania and a great deal of interest had been shown which resulted in the beginning of export, just after gaining certification, into the African country.

HCP has recently come back from the biggest global retail fair- Euro Shop in Dusseldorf which opened for the company many business opportunities, and provided it with numerous new important acquaintances and fresh ideas.

INNOVATION

For years, HCP has succeeded in providing the local and global markets with an assortment that is always up to date with the newest global trends.

Symphony POS is a locally produced product which has been developed to make the use of POS terminals easier during business transactions for people who have to use this method in their economic activities. This is an innovative, all in one product whose characteristics are a combination of a touch screen device and fiscal printer, while still featuring all the qualities of a computer.

Symphony POS is user-friendly with easy menu navigation which complies with all necessary needs, while fulfilling user requirements and fiscal legal obligations.

The touch screen Symphony POS is compatible with Windows, Linux and Android and apart from its basic use it can also operate as a fiscal device. The other part of the device functions as a fiscal or non-fiscal printer, depending on the law regulations of the country it's being exported to.

Even though the Symphony POS is a symbiosis of two devices, it is of compact and elegant design and can blend into any work environment.

This project has improved the payment process and made it easier by providing a device which shortens the time of price calculation and docket printing to just a few seconds – depending on the number of items bought.

The dimensions (WxHxD = 278x239x121mm) allow the Symphony POS to easily blend into any retail store, whether it's to be used in a large chain or smaller retail store.

One of the advantages of the device is that there are numerous models, so that the user can choose a model depending on their needs (some of the variables are: operational system, screen size, printer speed). Considering that HCP is equipped with the necessary machinery (Pick&Place machine, Through hole machine, 3D prototype machine, CNC machine, laser machine and others), the company is able to manufacture a completely locally made device, whose array of characteristics make it a strong competitor on the global market.

SOCIAL UTILITY

The Symphony POS device is economical and it is a great money saver for its users. In our country, one sales point has to have a computer base unit, monitor, fiscal printer and sometimes even a display for the buyers. Having a HCP device makes the price of a sales point much lower because it is a replacement for all of the devices previously listed.

The manufacturing of this device has no negative effect on the environment.

The components used cause no environmental pollution and the small percentage of waste that is created during the manufacturing process is stored compiling to all laws regarding environmental protection.

The product is one of local “know-how”. Invested in it is a decade of experience and work of a hardware and software engineer, and having in mind that it has caused interest globally, this product is representing its country in the best possible way – as an innovative, modern country with big technological potential.

Symphony POS has attracted a lot of attention by appearing on the market (locally and globally), in a way that makes us guess what future growth and success is awaiting it. If we were to judge according to the current situation, Symphony POS is threatening to take the place of the current leader on the market – BEST LC, a device that has held the title of the “most sold HCP device”, rightfully for years now.

FINANCIAL POTENTIAL

The Symphony POS is applicable to any workplace where fiscal receipts need to be issued: supermarkets, pharmacies, shopping centers, restaurants etc.

Since it first arrived on the market (October 2013, Tanzania market) the Symphony POS has recorded a great rise in demand, and judging on the current orders, this trend will only continue to grow.

While still in the development process, the first contacts had been realized in Tanzania and a great deal of interest had been shown which resulted in the beginning of export, just after gaining certification, into the African country.

In Serbia, the device is awaiting certification after which it will be released for sale.

As it has proven, for many years now, the HCP company in Serbia and even in some parts of the world, is the undisputable leader in its domain, which has been reconfirmed many times by awards (e.g. the ProLeader of the year award), certificates from renown global (e.g. Mikes testing partners) and local (SGS) institutes for the whole assortment of devices in the manufacturing program as well as years of partnership with the company “Gemalto” (ex. “Simens”) – who is also the licensed distributor for the southwestern region of Europe etc.

Symphony POS is the result of years of accumulated knowledge, skill and quality of HCP, all incorporated into one product that will provide the market with the best device possible.
