Matrebellerna has selected Focalpay to enable unified commerce experience for its customers, and improve user experience for in-store staff

Stockholm, Sweden, DAY, DATE, MONTH 2022 - Grocery retailer Matrebellerna and commerce software provider Focalpay today announces a strategic partnership. Focalpay will roll out checkout, payment, backoffice software across Matrebellerna stores in Sweden. 

In order to digitize and harmonize checkout and payment journeys for customers and staff, Matrebellerna has selected Focalpay to support their journey. After a comprehensive market review, Focalpay was selected as Matrebellernas strategic partner. 

Matrebellerna is a collective of independent grocery stores across Sweden. A part of the Axfood group, the grocery retailers serve consumers across the country. 

Andreas Rosensparr, owner of three Matrebeller stores in Sweden, said: “I have been looking for an innovative, secure checkout- and backoffice infrastructure with competitive pricing, and Focalpay ticks all the boxes. 

“With Focalpay, we can unify our systems and create great customer experiences, while also ensuring that the in-store staff can complete their daily tasks efficiently and from anywhere. Close partnerships with innovative software providers such as Focalpay is a huge advantage as it future-proofs our offering to the end consumer and enables fast adjustment to the ever-changing retail landscape.”

Olof Henriksson, Chief Commercial Officer at Focalpay, said: “We are thrilled about this partnership, where we will bring innovation, security and sustainability to the Matrebellerna stores and enable the in-store staff in completely new ways. Using a universal interface, staff can complete a sale in a manned till, mobile POS or via a tablet. Being built with a service-oriented architecture and open APIs instead of with legacy technology, we have broken down the boundaries between retail, payment and store administration - redefining the concept of what a retail platform is.”

“Focalpay is a cloud-native software provider created by innovators, engineers and thought leaders within payments and retail, and we are looking forward to bringing our technology to life with Matrebellerna. Our skilled team of technology experts enables us to bring new functionality to the market faster and more securely than normally in the grocery industry. While enabling in-store staff staff, Matrebellerna can also offer customers new ways of shopping via Scan & Go and remote ordering - via journeys that can be started in their own device and then moved to self checkouts or manned tills freely and seamlessly.”
