NCR Corporation today announced that Brown Shoe Company Inc has signed an order to equip all of its stores with NCR point-of-sale (POS) systems running on Microsoft's Windows Embedded for Point of Service software platform.
NCR and Brown Shoe also have signed a five-year maintenance contract.
Brown Shoe, which operates nearly 1,300 retail shoe stores throughout the United States and Canada, including the Famous Footwear and Naturalizer chains, is deploying NCR RealPOS 80 terminals, with flat-panel touchscreen displays and thermal receipt printers.
NCR is providing staging services to help assure quick and efficient installation with minimal disruption to store operations. Rollout is underway and will continue through 2006 and 2007.
"As we begin the replacement of our POS equipment across all of our retail businesses, we look forward to extending our long relationship with NCR, a partner which, for many years, has consistently provided high-quality hardware and strong service to our Famous Footwear retail division," said Richard T. Price, Brown Shoe senior vice president, Information Systems and Technology.
The NCR RealPOS terminals being installed by Brown Shoe utilize the retail-optimized Microsoft Windows Embedded for Point of Service software platform.
The first software platform to provide "plug-and-play" functionality for peripheral devices, Microsoft Windows Embedded for Point of Service facilitates implementation and integration with existing systems.
