SAN DIEGO, CA – Auto-Star Compusystems Inc., an innovative developer of point of sale software, and Mercato, the online ordering and delivery platform for independent grocers, announced today the integration of the Star-Plus point of sale software with the Mercato online ordering and delivery service. The solution offers grocers the latest in retail technology, while expanding their business in the online space.
Mercato equips independent grocers with an easy to use platform of e-commerce, delivery, order management, marketing and customer service tools. Product and pricing information is automatically uploaded from the Star-Plus POS system, eliminating errors and manual data entry. With real-time inventory updates, grocery retailers ensure consistency in-store and online.
“We are committed to the success of our customers and partner with leaders in the grocery industry to give them the best tools available for their business,” said Robert Symmonds, President and CEO of Auto-Star. “Mercato’s feature rich offering provides grocers with an easy to use platform and paves the way for smooth online ordering and delivery.”
“Given Auto-Star’s commitment to independent merchants and progressive technology, this partnership feels very natural for us,” said Bobby Brannigan, CEO and Founder of Mercato. “We are excited to help our shared customers compete and win against the big chain stores.”
Auto-Star and Mercato will exhibit at the National Grocers Association (NGA) Show, February 24 – 27, 2019, at the San Diego Convention Center. Attendees can visit Auto-Star in booth #1627 and Mercato in booth #1006 to learn more.
