Airport Retailer to Deploy Retail.net Solutions to Accommodate Aggressive Growth Strategy
Tomax Corporation is pleased to announce Airport Wireless' selection of Tomax' Retail.net solution to support the rapidly growing 32-store airport retail chain.
Based on agreements reached this week, Tomax and Airport Wireless will work together on the initial implementation of core merchandising, store operations and point-of-sale solutions. Additional Tomax solutions to be implemented include Tomax Portals, Workflow and Activity Management and Retail Analytics to deliver timely, relevant and actionable information across the business to enable better decision-making and ensure process optimization.

About Airport Wireless
In 1996, the principals of Airport Wireless opened The Cellular Shop, a cellular telephone and accessory store in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. The next year, Airport Wireless began selling wireless phones and accessories from a small merchandise cart in Terminal B of the Philadelphia International Airport followed in 1998 by locations in Philadelphia, Cleveland-Hopkins and Newark Liberty International Airports. In 2003, Airport Wireless signed an exclusive agreement to operate Palm's airport locations. Airport Wireless has since become a successful retailer with large in-line stores. Currently, there are 32 Airport Wireless stores and now TechShowcase (the group's latest and most innovative high-technology concept) locations serving travelers in major airports around the country.
