DALLAS--June 25, 2001--
Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Inc. announced today the purchase and implementation of the Fujitsu TeamPoS(r) 2000 point-of-sale system by brand-name specialty retailers worldwide. The popular POS system is widely available through Fujitsu`s expanding network of retail-specific, value-added resellers that can provide a range of software and services optimized for the TeamPoS 2000 and tailored specifically to specialty retailers` needs.
"Specialty retailers are finding a competitive advantage with the Fujitsu TeamPoS 2000," said Bruce Minale, vice president of indirect channel sales at Fujitsu. "They`re able to reduce costs, improve customer service and loyalty programs, and streamline their in-store technologies while gaining the extra advantage of working with some of the best VARs in the business."
Among others, some of the specialty retailers recently selecting the Fujitsu TeamPoS 2000 include:
- Best Cellars, an eight-store chain based in San Diego, served by Kliger-Weiss Infosystems Inc. (KWI), based in Port Washington, N.Y.
- Felissimo Universal Corp., a five-store chain based in Tokyo, Japan, served by Tesoro Technologies Inc. based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The TeamPoS 2000 is a point-of-sale system that adapts easily for POS, customer kiosks, multimedia displays or management terminals. Its powerful, modular construction enables the system to grow and change with the retailing environment, resulting in the elimination of costly system replacements, maintenance and upgrades. It also interoperates with Windows 98, Windows NT and Windows 2000 operating systems and was the first to earn certification by Microsoft Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL). Retailers can also choose from a wide range of configuration options - including processors, hard drives, CD-ROM and DVD - to fit their specific in-store objectives.
TeamPoS 2000 supports the most powerful POS applications for both fat and thin-client architectures. It features substantial memory and disk capabilities, plus on-board, high-speed LAN connectivity to help manage multimedia, CRM and e-business applications.
