[Retail Technology Innovation Hub](https://retailtechinnovationhub.com/home/2026/10/28/nisa-local-convenience-stores-deploy-quail-digital-headset-technology-to-improve-parcel-services) reported the deployment on October 28, 2026.\n\n## How Quail Connect Works in Nisa Local Stores\n\n[Quail Digital](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000bt5u/quail-digital) designed Quail Connect for small retail stores, typically accommodating four to six users, with the flexibility to expand as required. The headsets let colleagues communicate instantly across the shopfloor without leaving their positions or interrupting customer service, according to Kash Retail.\n\nKevin Polley, Operations Manager at Kash Retail, described the parcel collection process. \"When a customer arrives at the till to collect a parcel, the colleague serving them can contact a shopfloor team member through their headset and ask them to locate it,\" he said. Polley said the system removes the need to leave the till or call across the store, reducing customer waiting times.\n\nPolley said colleagues can also request additional till support directly through their headsets as queues build, allowing the team to react without leaving customers unattended. He said the technology is improving staff wellbeing by helping colleagues feel safer and better supported when dealing with potential theft and other security concerns.\n\nTom Downes, Founder and CEO at Quail Digital, said retailers are being asked to manage an increasingly complex range of in-store services while maintaining high standards of customer service. \"By giving colleagues, a simple, hands free way to communicate, Quail Connect helps ensure the right person can respond quickly, whether that means locating a parcel, opening another till or alerting a colleague to a potential security concern,\" he said.\n\n## Quail Digital's Retail and Voice AI Record\n\nQuail Digital designs and manufactures DECT wireless headset communication systems for quick service restaurants, healthcare and retail, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records show the company operates in 38 countries through specialist reseller partners, with 65 global resellers. In March 2026 it formed a global partnership with Audivi to launch a Voice AI hardware platform for QSR drive-thru operations across 32 countries, providing bundled hardware and AI voice ordering software at no upfront infrastructure cost.\n\n## Earlier Quail Digital Retail Deployments\n\nIn August 2026, SPAR International appointed Quail Digital as a preferred international supplier following the deployment of over 3,000 retail headsets across more than 500 stores in the UK and Ireland, Retail Technology Innovation Hub reported. The Beatles Story in Liverpool installed Quail Digital wireless headsets for about 30 staff across admissions, exhibitions and guest services in September 2026, the same outlet reported. In June 2026, Warner's Supermarket in Upton-upon-Severn became one of the first stores to deploy the Pro12 retail headset system, according to the outlet.\n\n## RTIH Innovation Awards Ceremony\n\nQuail Digital is among the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards finalists. Winners will be revealed at the awards ceremony at The HAC in Central London on November 4, 2026.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
