99p Stores planning wide-scale expansion into Scotland

Northampton-based discount retailer 99p Stores has set itself some very ambitious expansion goals, as the company plans to expand onto the Scottish market, a news report reveals.

According to the company’s representatives, 99p Stores plans to open 25 new discount stores across Scotland, which will lead to the creation of no less than 500 new jobs. The first store in Scotland is set to open in Ayr, Ayrshire, in May 2013.

99p Stores owner Hussein Lalani said: “Ayr is very much on the up and we are delighted to be opening our very first – of many – planned Scottish stores.”

When any retailer or company sets up plans for such a wide-scale expansion, thoroughly planning their workforce management system is always a good idea, and this is exactly where Tensor’s WinTA.NET Enterprise solution comes into play, as it provides corporate users with total control over the creation of working rules, Access Control, Job Costing and System Security.

The WinTA.NET Enterprise is a complete smart card time and attendance system including European Working Time Regulations checking and reporting that can cater to the needs of companies with workforces ranging from 20 people to 10,000+.

The system also offers a Fire Roll Call feature, reporting directly from clock controlled Ethernet connected printers, automatically triggered by fire alarm activation, as well as an On-line Self Service module allows staff to clock IN or OUT, check hours, request leave + other functions via internet, mobile or other communications.
