As the leaves start to turn and pumpkin spice scents fill the air, big box retailers are ramping up for one of the busiest shopping seasons of the year: Halloween. While consumers focus on costumes and candy, behind the scenes, retailers are ensuring their low voltage technologies are primed and ready for the influx of ghostly shoppers. Let's explore why these technologies are crucial and how the right technology services vendor can make or break the Halloween rush.
The Backbone of Halloween Retail: Low Voltage Technologies
1. Point of Sale (POS) Systems
POS systems are the unsung heroes of the retail world, especially during high-traffic periods like Halloween. NET can help make sure they’re all online and ready for:
- Quick transactions for last-minute costume purchases
- Inventory tracking to ensure popular items stay in stock
- Integration with promotional campaigns and discounts

2. Wireless Access Points (APs)
With more customers using smartphones for price comparisons and digital coupons, robust Wi-Fi is essential. Wireless APs must provide:
- Seamless coverage throughout the store
- Increased employee use of handhelds for price checks and inventory control
- Capacity to handle increased user load
- Secure connections for both customers and internal operations
3. Digital Signage

4. Security Systems
Enhanced security is crucial during busy periods:
- CCTV systems to monitor high-traffic areas and self-checkouts (SCO)
- Access control for staff-only areas
- Inventory tracking to prevent shrinkage
