ATLANTA & SACRAMENTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 12, 2007--PAQ Inc., a 15-store Northern California supermarket chain, has deployed a point-of-sale (POS) software and hardware solution from NCR Corporation (NYSE:NCR). NCR RealPartner, SNCR California, is responsible for the sale and installation as well as ongoing support of the solution.

The PAQ supermarkets, which operate under the Food 4 Less and Rancho San Miguel banners, are located in the California communities of Stockton, Lodi, Manteca, Los Banos, Salinas, Ceres, Atascadero, San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles.

"A number of our locations include restaurants or fuel operations or both, and we were looking for a single POS solution that could manage all of these activities," said PAQ Director of Strategic Alliances Dennis Cove. "SNCR recommend NCR Advanced Checkout Solution (ACS) software. We have been very pleased - not only with the performance of the software but also with the quality of support from SNCR and NCR."

In addition to NCR ACS software, PAQ selected NCR RealPOS(TM) 80c POS terminals with the NCR DynaKey cashier interface, as well as NCR thermal receipt printers and NCR RealScan(TM) bar-code scanners.

"The combination of NCR ACS with NCR DynaKey and NCR RealPOS terminals provides retailers with a truly significant improvement in checkout productivity," said SNCR California President John Creamer. "PAQ's cashiers have been very complimentary of the new system, and shoppers have also noticed the increased speed and accuracy at checkout."
