(AWI), offers the resources of the latest technologies in store operations. This includes direct-store receiving and point-of-sale systems. StoreWin and viPOS software afford retailers a state-of-the-art, point-of-sale scanning system as well as solid price maintenance, host support and a Direct Store Delivery (DSD) software package.

From the latest Windows operating systems to retail peripherals from the leading manufacturers such as Preh, APG, Symbol, Epson, NCR, and others, Independent Retailers can have the very same capabilities and technological advantages the large store chains use, but at a fraction of the cost.

Technology is the key to managing any retail food store, but the customer also sees the impact.

Front-end checkout systems – with large readable flat screen monitors – elicit an immediate and positive response from consumers.

At the back of the store, the retail systems back-office offering consists of our Windows-based flagship StoreWin program. StoreWin is installed in hundreds of locations nationwide. Equipped with a comprehensive suite of features, it enables retailers to gain control over the massive amount of information that surrounds today's retail operations. Timely and accurate information helps retailers make sound business decisions with confidence in order to enhance the bottom line.
