CUMBERLAND, R.I. -- Torex Retail Americas, a global retail solution provider, announced today that contracts have been signed with Foodland, a division of the Sullivan Family of Companies. Foodland will be installing Torex Retail's supermarket solution, ISIS[TM], - a Microsoft.net based point-of-sale, back office and multi-store management solution. The ISIS solution, along with IBM servers and IBM SurePOS terminals will be installed in their chain of 29 Foodland supermarkets and in 7 Food Pantry and Malama Market stores over the next year.
Foodland chose Torex Retail's ISIS solution to enhance customer service and improve front-end operations and overall efficiency at their Foodland stores.
