The retail world descended upon NRF Europe 2025—the continent’s premier retail gathering, formerly known as Semaine du commerce de détail à Paris—for a dazzling demonstration of next-generation technology. Telpo, a global leader in terminaux intelligents and solution provision, was front and centre, showcasing its commitment to ‘Seamless Payments’ and the new retail POS, capturing the attention of retailers and industry veterans alike.
What New Retail POS Technologies Have Been Shown at NRF Euro 2025?
Telpo’s stand focused entirely on the theme: “Seamless Payments, Boost Business.” Telpo showcased a comprehensive portfolio of new retail POS hardwaredesigned to strip away the friction points in the payment process, allowing European businesses, both large and small, to accelerate their digital transformation and drive bottom-line growth. It was clear from the outset that Telpo had its finger firmly on the pulse of the market’s need for retail efficiency and elegance.
Dispositif de paiement intelligents: Elevating Business Efficiency
In modern retail, a seamless payment isn’t merely a fast transaction; it’s an invisible one. Telpo demonstrated how theirsmart payment devices transform what used to be a necessary chore—the checkout process—into an efficient, almost pleasurable customer experience. They frame their devices not as simple payment boxes, but as integrated tools for digital operational uplift.
By integrating next-generation intelligent hardware with software-defined payment capability, they facilitate a higher velocity of sales. This holistic approach resonated strongly with European retailers, who are grappling with evolving consumer expectations for speed and choice, particularly among small and medium-sized businesses.
SoftPOS Devices: Empowering Retail Spaces with Intelligence
SoftPOS (Software Point of Sale) emerged as a definitive highlight of the exhibition, signalling the rapid shift away from bulky, single-function traditional payment terminals in retail transactions. Instead, Telpo demonstrated intelligent devices that integrate SoftPOS functionality with versatile Android hardware, bringing new intelligence to the retail space.
Visitors were captivated by the practical integration of devices such as the Android Smart POS M8, M10, and M1. These terminals boast full mobile functionality and meet the crucial Google Mobile Services (GMS) certification requirements for SoftPOS applications.
Crucially, the SoftPOS device concept clearly extends beyond handheld terminals. The SoftPOS + Kiosk K1, for example, demonstrated how retailers can flexibly deploy self-checkout capabilities anywhere, accelerating cashless acceptance. Meanwhile, the SoftPOS + Cash Register C9 presented a sleek, compact counter-based Solution POS that visualises the customer journey and enables real-time interaction. This efficient, refined form factor delivers significantly enhanced operational effectiveness across the board.
Smart Self-Checkout: Maximising Efficiency and Cost Savings
As digital retail deepens its penetration into smaller stores, the adoption of self-checkout elevates the traditional face-to-face scanning and checking process. This simultaneously reduces pressure on employer labour costs and enhances the customer’s “grab-and-go” experience.
The star of the stand was the Kiosque libre-service K1, a compact, all-in-one terminal. Its built-in printing and full EMV payment support make it the ideal plug-and-play solution for quick-service or lightweight retail environments. Demonstrating a technological leap, the C50 AI self-checkout terminal showcases the incredible potential of computer vision in retail, achieving lightning-fast and highly accurate product identification—truly pushing the traditional boundaries of the till system. Building on this ingenuity, the C9 Dual-Screen POS cash register features a clever design: the customer-facing secondary screen supports NFC payments and provides an interactive display, transforming what was once a passive screen into an engaging, transaction-boosting asset.
Compact Contactless Terminals: Intelligence in the Palm of Your Hand
The era of cumbersome, wired Machines POS appears to be over. Telpo’s product range highlights a clear design philosophy that prioritises contactless payment and compact terminal design. The new-generation terminals are inherently portable, robust, and designed with real-world usability in mind—a welcome relief for staff working long shifts.
Le terminaux M10 and M8 are all-in-one wonders: compact and ergonomic, yet powerful and equipped with certified security features. Equally impressive are the P9 and P9 PDA terminaux. These devices shed the slow and heavy burden of traditional POS terminals. They integrate multiple payment methods, comprehensive authentication, and the latest physical and software encryption standards. Their bright, modern design and exceptional indoor/outdoor performance make them ideal for any mobile or counter retail business, from market stalls to high-end boutiques.
Retail Digitalisation Benefits the Many, Not the Few
How does digitalisation enhance European retail? While large retail chains often take centre stage in digital transformation, digital development for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) remains the driving force in Europe. At NRF Europe 2025, Telpo highlighted how its payment and retail terminal solutions directly address the needs of crucial small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are major drivers of digital transformation. With the rise of e-commerce and digitalisation, small businesses—such as independent gift shops, local clothing stores, or boutique eateries—are often left behind due to cost and complexity.
Telpo’s sleek and compact POS terminal design offers a unique advantage in the European market. They emphasised that their hardware products, leveraging innovative design and efficient manufacturing capabilities, enable cost-effective integration into advanced retail technologies and localised solutions. Combined with Telpo’s renowned customisation services, they can perfectly match smart hardware solutions to the specific and unique digital needs of small business owners. This compelling approach has the potential to democratise retail digitisation across Europe.
