Bransom & Pay4Later Announce an Exclusive Integrated Consumer Finance Solution for Retailers

Bransom Retail Systems, the largest supplier of computer systems to the jewellery trade, has partnered with Pay4Later, the UK’s fastest growing consumer finance provider to offer an integrated point of sale finance solution.

By integrating a financing option within their EPoS system, jewellers can increase sales and improve the customer experience by pre-populating credit application forms and streamlining the service.

Chris Garland, MD of Bransom said, “Credit applications can now be submitted directly from our touch screen tills. The customer details, purchase price and description of goods are automatically entered to speed up the process and ensure accuracy. The exclusive deal with Pay4Later is an excellent opportunity for Bransom clients to offer interest free or credit terms in one simple process and stay ahead of the competition.”

Scott Law, Pay4Later CEO added, “Chris and his team have done a great job integrating our breakthrough e-signature process. Retailers can now use their Bransom EPoS system to propose and manage finance sales.”

Bransom sponsor NAG Jet 1 Project Awards in association with the National Association of Goldsmiths . . . .

Each month the best final JET 1 assignment will be chosen by the NAG and the winner will receive a certificate, choice of champagne or gift vouchers and an invitation to the NAG’s prestigious annual Presentation of Awards at Goldsmiths’ Hall.

As featured in The Jeweller June 2010 . . . .

Said Victoria Wingate, Education & Training Manager, National Association of Goldsmiths –
“This is a great way for the NAG and Bransom to acknowledge all the hard work JET 1 students put into their assignments and to recognise their future within the industry.  There are five assignments in JET 1, which can be taken over three to six months. However, the final assignment is longer and more involved.  Successful completion of the five assignments entitles students to enter JET 2 and the completion of the Professional Jewellers’ Diploma.”

Said Chris Garland, Managing Director, Bransom Retail Systems Ltd –
“We wanted to get involved because we believe in education and supporting the next generation of jewellery professionals.  By encouraging the best performers we hope it will raise the overall level of achievement and final grades.  Bransom strives to provide the highest level of training and support as part of its Stock Management System which is a key factor in our continued success.  Therefore it is a privilege to be able to support this new initiative to acknowledge and reward the future professionals within the trade.”

PANDORA UK choose Bransom as partner

It gives me enormous personal pleasure to announce that Pandora have chosen Bransom as their partner for all Pandora Concept stores.

This is a great achievement as there was very strong competition from a number of competitors including an existing Pandora supplier from Europe trying to win the business. However, I believe Bransom was chosen because of our strength in the UK market together with a unique blend of size, reputation, experience, and infrastructure required to undertake and support a project like this in the UK.

Pandora are a dynamic company and it is great to work with such a dedicated team of people who are as focused on their product and aims as we are on ours. With another 60 plus Pandora concept stores to open this year we look forward to working closely the lucky franchisees.

A NEW initiative for the independent jeweller...

Bransom Retail Systems Ltd has agreed a program with GfK Retail and Technology UK Ltd which will offer participating retailers market reports entirely free of charge.

About GfK and Bransom...

Market research and up to date market intelligence are important tools that all major retailers and suppliers have access to.  This extremely valuable data enables these companies to monitor trends in the market place and act accordingly but for the independent retailer accessing this information can be very expensive.  However, Bransom and GfK Retail and Technology UK Ltd are delighted to introduce an opportunity for the independent jeweller to access intelligent data that could help businesses to spot trends, improve business management and, in turn, improve profit margins at no cost at all.
