• About Fujitsu

As one of the leading convenience store chains in Taiwan, FamilyMart operates more than 2,000 stores. And to stay competitive, it has been necessary to continuously develop promotional activities, such as offering discounts on out-going products, or point accumulation campaigns. The cash registers, therefore, need to have the capability to adapt speedily to such customer needs in a minimum amount of time.

Convenience stores have limited space, and are often located in fast-moving urban areas, so controlling inventory has been of utter importance to secure sales. Change in the day's temperature or a sudden rain around lunchtime can drastically change the popularity of certain products. Therefore, speedy and reliable processing of up-to-the-minute POS data can be crucial.

The convenience retail industry is a very competitive market. We have adopted a rather aggressive marketing strategy and operate more than 2,000 stores in Taiwan to stay among the top convenience store chains. And thanks to this, we are currently one of the leading convenience store chains in Taiwan with the support of the compact-sized PRIMERGY servers.

Fujitsu has helped us in achieving stability and high-speed performance in our IT systems throughout our stores. Their products have proven to be of outstanding quality. But they are much more than a provider of comprehensive IT solutions; with their experience and expertise, they are truly an important business partner to us.

Do you trade reliability for more shelf space? Do you give up speed to gain a bit more elbowroom?

Fujitsu would like to suggest that you give up neither. Our highly reliable yet ultra-compact-sized PRIMERGY servers incorporate leading edge technologies to save you a significant amount of space-in fact, two of these servers can be installed in the space where a conventional-sized server once loomed large.
To make them even less obtrusive, they run whisper-quiet, thanks to an enhanced "heat-pipe" method used to cool the CPU. And with adoption of reliable RAID, you can enjoy 24/7 operation without compromising on cost efficient performance.

Speed, reliability and more space. Surely your business has room for that.

Speed and reliability in a compact package.
