Since the local shop closure the village of Findon, in West Sussex had been left without a Post Office and with no home news deliveries (HND). After a successful fund-raising drive by the local community, the premises (previously occupied by the village shop) were purchased and permission obtained to retain the Post Office and National Lottery.

Norcon Computers had provided News Slave for Windows to the previous owners (to manage their HND) and were again approached to supply software which would manage both the retail and newspaper delivery aspects of the business. It was also important for the shop that accurate recording of the sales of Post Office services through the till could be easily identified and reconciled with the Post Office accounting system.

As space was at a premium, the shop decided to have a single till which would run both the newspaper management and EPoS software, with an integrated chip & pin device. The News Slave software could be run on a laptop computer, which would also give access to ICRTouch Office Web the cloud-based EPoS back office, when required.
