Grocery
Fujitsu's grocery lifecycle solution centres on GlobalSTORE - a fully functioning and robust point-of-sale software application that is based upon state-of-the-art architecture. Used by the world's leading retailers and installed in Australia with Coles Myer and leading independent food retailers like Ritchies, GlobalSTORE combines operator ease-of-use with excellent customer service.
Add Fujitsu's range of top-quality hardware (from point-of-sale through to self-checkout and mobile handhelds), and its end-to-end services capability and you have a total store solution that is unparalleled in the industry. That's why Fujitsu leads the grocery market with a huge installed base.
GlobalSTORE POS is the retail trading solution that allows customers to shop in-store, at home, at work or on the move. It provides retailers with Web-based technology for management control and reporting that can continue to develop and underpin the organisation's corporate retailing goals.
Based on a flexible client-server architecture, GlobalSTORE POS divides applications into three tiers: graphical user interface (GUI), business functions and a database compliant with the Association of Retail Technology Standards (ARTS) data model. This design accommodates the need for total functional flexibility, allowing for unpredictable changes, and the geographic diversity and international variations required in today's worldwide retailing environment.
Freedom of choice
The GlobalSTORE POS open platform enables retailers to adopt and adapt the best hardware and customer-interactive technologies as they emerge, whilst still protecting their initial investment.
Responsiveness
Changes can be implemented quickly, so retailers can go to market faster with new systems, processes or approaches - thus gaining a real competitive edge.
Enhanced customer information
GlobalSTORE POS gathers, consolidates and manages trading information throughout the retailer's organisation, providing essential data for better business decision-making, faster customer service and more targeted customer relationships.
Cost reduction
GlobalSTORE POS cuts costs in three key areas:
- Its intuitive interface cuts training time dramatically
- By capturing sales transactions centrally, it manages cash and item replenishment automatically
- It lets retailers deploy new technologies, enabling customers to do more for themselves
