- Two major companies opt for GK Software solutions in the USA
Two major companies in the USA opted to use GK Software solutions during the first quarter of 2015. These firms operate in the fashion/sports and specialist retail sectors. This will involve equipping approx. 3,200 stores with solutions from GK Software in future.
The license revenues will form part of the planned goals for the 2015 business year. The Management Board is therefore standing by its forecast to further enhance turnover and improve profitability at the same time.
