Source Technologies, a leading provider of integrated solutions for managing financial transactions and other secure business processes, announced the availability of TreoSystems’ interactive iPAL product locator system for large-format retail stores on their new interactive kiosk. The new kiosk will be introduced at the National Retail Federation annual convention Jan. 13-16, 2008, in New York.
"Today’s consumers are very open to using self-service applications when they realize how it benefits them," said Robert Johnson, TreoSystems’ co-founder and chief executive officer. "We designed iPAL with this in mind, offering an extremely powerful yet simple-to-use tool for not only customers, but employees as well. Source Technologies offers a wide range of interactive, self-service kiosks that are a perfect platform for our system. We are pleased to partner with them to help retailers provide the highest level of service and convenience for their customers."
Source Technologies’ interactive kiosks feature an open, Windows® Embedded operating system that supports a virtually unlimited number of applications, maximizing the value and usability for retailers. TreoSystems’ iPAL product locator system is an integrated set of software tools developed specifically to help both customers and store staff find items faster and easier in large retail operations, such as discount superstores, home centers, department stores, supermarkets and other specialty stores.
“Customers are increasingly familiar with self-service kiosks to speed their retail shopping experience. By integrating our kiosk hardware with TreoSystems’ product locator application, retailers can offer customers the option of locating products quickly using an interactive kiosk display,” said William Bouverie, CEO of Source Technologies. “Using the iPAL product locator, a customer entering a large store can quickly locate a specific product on the sales floor. The customer finds what they are looking for faster which makes their visit to the store more enjoyable, eliminates frustration and increases their likelihood to return again.”
Source Technologies will showcase the new kiosks in booth #779 at the NRF show.
