Leading retailer deploys NCR’s sleek, fully integrated RealPOS™ XR7
alongside NCR retail solutions to improve performance and incorporating
multi-touch and gesture support
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 12, 2015--
NCR
Corporation (NYSE: NCR), the global leader in consumer transaction
technologies, announced today that Axfood, a leading Swedish grocery
retailer, has chosen innovative NCR point-of-sale (POS) and scanner
technology to engage and interact with customers more effectively and
help increase sales. Axfood is deploying more than 2,500 NCR POS
solutions during the next 24 months at its Willys supermarkets and
Hemköp value stores across Sweden.
Axfood is the second biggest food retailer in Sweden with annual revenue
of $ 4.8 billion. Axfood will deploy NCR RealPOS™ 60 terminals, NCR
RealPOS XT 15” multi-touch cashier displays, 12” LED customer displays,
7197 receipt printers, NCR RealScan™ 84 Hybrid Scanners and the NCR
RealPOS XR7.
“The significant upgrade will improve customer experiences and also
ensure a smooth migration from Windows XP. Enhancing our overall brand
over every channel is key to improving the shopping experience for our
customers,” said Jan Lindmark, IT-director at Axfood. “This improves
customer loyalty and the time they spend shopping with us, which
ultimately drives our profit and growth. NCR is helping us achieve this
now with the latest POS technologies which include support for
multi-touch and gesture-based interactions that can help engage
customers, and ensure higher levels of security. NCR’s future roadmap,
in particular around the RealPOS X series product family and reputation
for innovation, reinforces our decision to make them our partner of
choice.”
The deployment of 15-inch multi-touch XT displays and the NCR
RealPOS™ XR7 is one of the first in Europe. NCR’s versatile,
high-performance POS solution and scanner solutions process transactions
quickly and more securely, while the displays simultaneously run
marketing videos and promotions to better engage customers and help
increase sales.
"Consumers are increasingly influenced by a great experience across
multiple retail channels when they shop,” said Ronen Levkovich, EMEA
vice president, NCR Retail. ”Innovative NCR retail technology has
enabled Axfood to achieve this by delivering solutions that offer a
unique combination of elegant styling, high performance, retail
ruggedness, and extended product life cycles. This will help Axfood
create exceptional shopping experiences for years to come.”
The NCR RealPOS XR7 is powered by the 4th generation Intel®
Core™ processor family and delivers exceptional performance for today’s
solutions as well as those to come.
