In the market for a comprehensive POS solution? Let us know how the NCR RealPOS 80 can help.

With its 122-year tradition of meeting the office product needs of Canadian businesses, Grand & Toy has continued its commitment to customer satisfaction by selecting a comprehensive point-of-sale (POS) solution from NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR). Rollout of the NCR RealPOS 80 solution began this spring, with the systems now fully operational in more than 70 Grand & Toy stores across Canada.

"Grand & Toy prides itself on providing exceptional customer value and quality product selection and advice - all of which is pivotal to maintaining our position as an innovator and market leader in the office products industry. Providing quality customer service also extends to the POS," said John Melodysta, vice president of information technology, Grand & Toy.

"Grand & Toy selected NCR for a number of reasons, including the operational efficiency and reliability of the NCR POS technology, which will allow us to further strengthen customer service and satisfaction at the checkout and help to ensure greater customer retention in Canada's competitive office products industry," said Melodysta.

The new POS solution includes NCR RealPOS 80 terminals, NCR RealScan bar-code scanners, NCR printers, displays and other peripherals. NCR is also providing services such as project management, staging, on-site installation and ongoing maintenance support.

Brian Sullivan, vice president of NCR's Retail Solutions Division in Canada, said, "NCR's retail solutions continue to reflect the strong commitment to product and service excellence upon which we were founded in 1884. The NCR RealPOS 80 terminal provides Grand & Toy with retail-hardened construction and industry-leading serviceability, which will translate into reduced operational costs and long-term investment protection. Ultimately, it is a solution that will more than meet Grand & Toy's POS needs now and into the future."

Introduced in 2003, the NCR RealPOS 80 is the first POS terminal to allow for comprehensive accessibility and serviceability on replaceable parts - without the use of tools. Routine maintenance can be done with a pair of hands, minimizing service time and increasing system availability. As easy to configure as it is to service, the system is available in either modular or integrated configurations and functions as a traditional POS or self-service device. Running on the NCR RealPOS 80 is POS application software from Triversity, an NCR solutions partner.
