In a significant development, Postas Inc., headquartered in Chuo, Tokyo, has rolled out its innovative cloud-based mobile POS system, named POS+ retail, at three locations of KidZania, a unique children’s career and social experience center managed by KCJ Group, also based in Chuo, Tokyo. This implementation represents a substantial improvement in cashless payment capabilities in these interactive educational environments, allowing for greater convenience and enhanced purchasing experiences for visitors.
Background of the Implementation
At KidZania, previous attempts to facilitate on-site sales through moving carts selling various goods were constrained by the need for a traditional wired register. The sale locations frequently changed depending on the day and time, making conventional cash-only transactions less viable. Following extensive evaluations for a more flexible solution, the decision was made to adopt Postas's wireless moving POS register system, which includes payment terminals.
The deployment of POS+ retail enables these mobile sales operations to accept cashless payments, enhancing the overall convenience for guests visiting the park. Initiating trial operations in mid-July, the full-scale use of this system began on July 24, coinciding with the launch of a new children's passport program designed to promote various educational activities at KidZania. The integration of this POS system not only allows for seamless transaction processes but also consolidates sales data in the cloud. This enables headquarters staff to monitor performance data continuously and manage product registrations and modifications efficiently—streamlining operational tasks at both onsite and HQ levels.
The KidZania Experience
KidZania presents a miniaturized city where children can explore and engage in various professions, promoting both education and entertainment under the concept of ‘edutainment’. Located across Tokyo, Koshien, and Fukuoka, this vibrant place serves as a hub for children to experience jobs they are interested in while learning about the mechanisms of society in a hands-on environment.
