Company

30 years. 5th generation.
And with AI / Codex, we are preparing the 6th software generation.

Technology, precision, and Swiss quality – that is what Adega stands for. We combine many years of retail experience with state-of-the-art software development.

The Challenge

Retail software suffers from complexity. Not so with Adega.

Internationally active branch companies face a challenge: every region has different tax laws, different payment methods, different languages. Most systems do not scale.

ADEGAPOS is a platform of pioneering retail solutions that enables the same solution with the same payment systems in all branches. Local infrastructures become obsolete – cost-effective and efficient operation becomes possible.

The Team

The people behind ADEGAPOS

Several interdisciplinary teams of developers, software architects, and retail experts work daily on your software. Each team contributes specialized know-how – from interface integration to global rollout.

Team leaders meet regularly in Switzerland for an exchange. This ensures high quality – no matter in which country your branches operate.

1995

ERP for Retail

It was actually supposed to be a winery – but Adega ended up becoming a software startup.

1995 was the era of Microsoft Windows 3.1 and the first programming languages for Windows. At that time, there was no merchandise management solution for Windows PCs, leading to the creation of the first complete solution featuring purchasing, delivery management, inventory, price control, recipes, and shelf labeling.

Scaling for 250 Stores

From the beginning, Adega focused on the retail sector and produced software for SMEs. Over the years, customers not only became more numerous but also larger. The breakthrough came in 2001 with 250 branches at Pick-Pay, the leading food discounter in Switzerland at the time.

Rollouts of 250 branches require systematic and automated processes to maintain homogeneous and stable systems that are easy to maintain remotely. With the help of its subcontractors, Adega can also professionally master international rollouts.

First Web Backend

Adega realized very early on that the future lies in the internet. In 2006, the first web-based retail solution was presented at EUROSHOP in Düsseldorf. The first customer was Bose, with 20 of its own flagship stores in Germany, England, and Italy at the time.

Freitag Lab also chose Adega in 2006. Through partners in Germany, Adega gained significant customers such as Bahlsen from Hanover or Griesson de Beukelaer. In the non-food sector, customers like DSPX with the entire outdoor segment also joined.

International + fiscalized

Through expansion into various countries, solutions for international payment systems and fiscalization are developed. By the end of 2014, Adega products were already in use in 15 countries in Europe, Japan, and the USA.

At Euroshop 2014, Adega presented mobile POS systems for Android tablets for the first time.

Mobile POS Systems

Adega is entering the market with its latest product line, Storepad2. As early as January 2015, several locations were installed in Zurich. Storepad2 is a consulting and checkout system in one – and far ahead of the competition.

Adega operates a new server for fair-trade and organic products, on which small businesses that meet fair-social-ecology guidelines can operate their systems cost-effectively.

Omni-Channel

Retail is under pressure – online trade is increasingly penetrating sectors that were previously excluded due to logistical or product-specific factors: fresh food/groceries, clothing, shoes.

Adega offers omni-channel solutions where customers shop online via the web shop and pick up in-store, or can view in-store availability online and reserve items or have them delivered to their home.

Adega accompanies you in your challenges as a partner and solution provider.

ADEGAPOS

Sometimes you have to create something from scratch to be prepared for the future. The ADEGAPOS POS solution from the POS4retail platform is a pure Windows system without detours or compromises: 30 years of experience combined with the best current methods and tools.

Features like Bonus Buy, Mix and Match, Best Price, and a central Gift Card and Voucher system bring SAP functionalities directly to the POS front end.

Intelligence and Monitoring

Let the software optimize your processes and watch it happen—with event-driven monitoring supported by AI. The POS4retail backend analyzes transaction data from the POS systems for deviating characteristics and generates events for loss prevention and security breach detection.

AI influences the business logic of the POS systems and automatically generates situational actions and promotions to increase net revenue and minimize losses.
