"Landed"
might be the wrong word because these things don't fly but they can be moved
and they do look a little futuristic. This is the latest take on how we might
raise the level of presentation at QVM whilst giving more convenience to
traders. Is this the future for "real" markets?
We
need to see a POD fully stocked to really assess how it looks and how it works.
The next few months will see plenty of experimentation, as trader feedback fine
tunes the format. How would you use a POD? Does it suit your business? What
changes would you like to see to accommodate your stock presentation or what
changes could you make to your stock presentation to accommodate a POD? You can
check out the first POD in C Shed.

Unless the pods are generic for all and then we just have our new style , much smaller ''storage' boxes . these will be minus all the heavy things like metal racks, trestles, table tops etc which ..take room, and space, not to mention cost...
instead of the the big bulky boxes we now have , wed have small slim ones to take some stock, for the next pod to use..
Needs a lot of fine tuning but its a good start." Andy
Good point Andy. I think the POD concept is intended for traders who stay in the same spot but you are suggesting they could still accommodate moving traders. - Ed
