KickOff Event 2023

Every year at PHILOSHOPIC we have a Kick-off event to reflect on last years performance, celebrate accomplishments and align the team around the objectives and targets for the year. This year, the company organised a 2-day trip to Kalopanayiotis on the 25-26 February, with various events planned, including seminars, brainstorm sessions, board game challenges, lovely food, nature walks, fun in the snowy Troodos mountains, and quality time together as a team including our partners in life. The process started with pre-kick off sessions in our office the week before and some post-event activities the following 2 weeks.

The 2023 Kick-Off event was a great opportunity to come together, reinforce the company’s culture and team spirit, and develop momentum to achieve the goals set for 2023. Every PHILOSHOPER had the opportunity to contribute to sessions around improving our processes as well as to learn on our solutions roadmaps, the key wins we had in the previous years and the main areas we shall focus in 2023. For the first time, we all had the opportunity to be accompanied by our partners in life and kids, realizing the vast diversity of our extended work-family in terms of nationalities!

After 2 days filled with work and fun related activities each PHILOSHOPER remains committed to serve our customers, expand our portfolio and be more productive and fun while at work. A post-event survey will provide guidance on what to keep and what to improve in future kick-off events where we expect to have new PHILOSHOPERS joining and more customer successes to share! The entire team is grateful for what we have achieved together in 2022 and excited for 2023 and what it can bring to our team, our customers and each PHILOSHOPER’s professional development!

Saudi retailers trust PHILOSHOPIC to comply with ZATCA eInvoicing mandate

When new regulations are in place, the challenge is to comply without reducing value and without missing the focus to the core business. It is thus important to rely on solutions that can meet all the requirements, are cost effective and can be implemented on time with the minimum impact and stress to the organisation. 

January 1st has marked the beginning of the 2nd phase of ZATCA eInvoicing mandate for retailers in Saudi Arabia with more than 4bn of SAR revenue required to comply.  

After investing for the past few months to build a solution that can meet the demanding requirements of ZATCA and enable retailers to comply, we are excited to welcome the first users of the PHILOBROKER ZATCA eInvoicing solution.  

Some of these are existing users of PHILOSHOPIC solutions while others are using our solutions for the first time. Common to all is that they trusted our team’s professionalism and worked closely together to meet the objectives. The journey for compliance is though not static. The ZATCA requirements and platform are still under finetuning thus we remain committed to work closely with our partners and users on an ongoing basis. At the same time, we are looking forward to welcome more users in Q3 when a new wave of retailers will be requested to start their compliance journey.

How Kronos uses SMASH eVouchers to transform the bus experience

PHILOSHOPIC contributes to the efforts of the local authorities to improve public transportation aiming at reduced traffic jams and environmental impact, by enabling the purchase of bus travel cards re-charge at hundreds of convenience stores served by Kronos and other large supermarkets and digital channels. The innovative SMASH eVouchers solution was integrated with the Cyprus Public Transport (CPT), now enabling Kronos and its merchants to sell eVouchers to top up rechargeable, personalised and student cards. 

The SMASH eVouchers solution has made topping up of smart cards easier than ever before as customers are able to top up their E-Wallet at hundreds of points of sale such as the closest Kiosk in the neighbourhood with face-to-face payment including cash. No longer will customers in Cyprus have to top up their cards at the CPT offices as their only option, improving the experience for people who ride public transport by making purchasing bus rides more convenient.

For us, this is another project demonstrating the increasing flexibility of SMASH eVOUCHERS to integrate with various operators and enable distributors and merchants to remain competitive with modern technologies that are cost effective, flexible and facilitate a seamless customer experience.
