Salvation Army Trading Company Ltd has selected retail technology company Azurri
to implement Gift Aid in its nationwide chain of charity shops. The roll-out has
already begun following a successful two month trail in two shops. It has generated
more than £100,000 already.

Azurri is rolling out its Gift Aid system on Toshiba POS, including a touchscreen
terminal, within 135 of the Salvation Army shops over an eight week period.

The system simplifies the Gift Aid process, including inputting donor names and 
addresses; capturing Gift Aid and sales data; providing sales reports and preparing
completed donor letters and Gift Aid documentation automatically for submission 
to HM Revenue and Customs.

Beverley Phillips, Finance Director at the trading company, said: "The fact that
[Azurri](http://www.azurri.com/azurriCharity/GiftAid.aspx) handle all of the Gift
Aid administration enabled us to implement the system quickly and launch Gift Aid
with our customer loyalty scheme, with no additional resource requirement or disruption
to our current operations".

It has also removed the need for Area Managers to call in to collate information.
Shop staff have required "only a few minutes to become confident in the sales process"
according to SATCoL.
