Zavvi Entertainment Group Ltd - Technology

Technology

The computer system at the heart of Zavvi was ELVIS (EPoS Linked Virgin Information System), that was designed for Virgin Megastores in 1991. ELVIS collects data from shop's point-of-sale terminals for stock and sales reporting, provides instant information for customers on all the shop's product lines and allows for electronic re-ordering from suppliers. In September 2006 ELVIS was updated to utilise "RealTime Polling", with inventory updates every 15 minutes providing accurate on-hand stock information and producing up-to-date sales reports. Zavvi also used an in-store customer ordering system named Zavvi Delivers. This service was withdrawn from use in November 2008 due to supplier issues relating to EUK.
