New products showcased at the Fujitsu booth poised to change employee roles and customer experiences in-store
NEW YORK, Jan. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Fujitsu today introduced new solutions for retailers to enable faster and easier transactions, optimize the role of the sales associate, implement wearable technology for employees and ultimately, significantly enhance customer experience.

Javits Convention Center in New York City.

"In today's retail environment, highly engaged shoppers are looking to get what they need in as short a time as possible, and retail technology is undergoing dramatic changes as a result," said Marc Janssens, executive vice president of Retail at Fujitsu America, Inc. "Fujitsu is meeting these new demands by introducing new solutions that help deliver omni-channel functionality and lower POS times, as well as innovations that empower retail staff to streamline sales activities through wearable technology, automated systems and easily navigable point-of-sale (POS) products, all of which deliver a superior in-store customer experience."
Fujitsu is showcasing its extended portfolio of retail solutions at the Fujitsu booth at NRF including:
-- FUJITSU Impulse(TM): The first self-service unit specifically designed
for a convenience store-type environment. With a footprint that is one
quarter of the size of the FUJITSU U-Scan® Genesis® II unit or a
traditional Self-Checkout unit (four Impulse units = one Self-Checkout
unit), it fits easily into smaller stores, leaving more room for
merchandise and working as an automated assistant to help manage lines
and purchase flow.
-- FUJITSU Fresco(TM): A new POS selling application that allows grocers to
increase profitability by boosting productivity in stores, operations
and IT groups. Fujitsu Fresco software offers a customizable POS and
cash management solution that builds upon traditional POS products to
deliver a seamlessly-integrated experience geared specifically at the
grocery industry, but also adapting well to food service, pharmacy,
cosmetics, clothing and other product areas. With omni-channel becoming
a key to success for retailers, Fujitsu Fresco software offers
functionality that allows in-store customers to buy items that aren't
physically available in the store.
-- FUJITSU U-Scan 6.0: This latest release of the new U-Scan 6.0 software
makes self-checkout faster and easier to use for the customer, more
practical for the attendant managing self-checkout, and includes
upgrades to security, as well as wearable tech compatibility. A suite of
features enhances the customer experience from colorful new screens to
configuration options that can reduce weight security issues by up to
40%. Retailers now have more direct control over the multimedia
experience, allowing them to include advertisements or to match their
seasonal in-store displays, by customizing the self-checkout experience
by season.
-- Retail Wearables: Fujitsu's patent pending wearable solutions in retail
represent a low cost and efficient way to manage customers and checkout
lanes on the go. Integrated with U-Scan, Fresco and Impulse products,
these wearable devices keep your staff in touch with management and with
customers who need help. Retail Wearables also keep associates' hands
free to prepare food, assist customers or work on other tasks, all while
managing checkout lanes. This new generation of smaller wearable
devices, adapted by Fujitsu for retail use, makes it easy to keep staff
simultaneously connected with management and customers. With Microsoft,
Fujitsu will be demonstrating this new technology at NRF on the
Microsoft Band 2 smart band, which offers a high-level of functionality
at a highly competitive price point. "Fujitsu and Microsoft have been
working together for nearly 20 years, and this latest collaboration
reaffirms why we've worked so well together during that time. The latest
innovation is the application of our Microsoft Band platform to the
retail environment, demonstrating new ways to drive value from the new
Microsoft Band, and also access an undiscovered market for wearable
technology," said Marty Ramos, head of Strategy and Innovation,
Worldwide Retail, Consumer Products and Services at Microsoft.
As a leading provider in retail platforms and products, Fujitsu has worked with retailers across the globe for three decades in more than 100,000 global terminals to provide seamless integration of software, hardware and multi-vendor support, which together enable an enhanced customer experience in an increasingly complex technology environment. The company's strong integration capabilities allow retailers to leverage new innovations and solutions that address technology-savvy consumers who increasingly expect an omni-channel retail experience.
Fujitsu America will be providing live-demonstrations of the new products and solutions at booth #3805 at Retail's Big Show.
