2015-01-14 / 09:22
- Equipment for 250 stores for a specialist retailer in the USA and Canada
- Migration from the old SAP POS solution to SAP Point-of-Sale by GK
The first customer with stores in the USA has decided to implement the store solutions developed by GK Software. A North American specialist retailer with 250 stores in the USA and Canada decided to purchase SAP Point-of-Sale by GK. This project will involve equipping about 500 systems with the POS software developed by GK Software and sold by SAP. It is the first project where a customer has migrated from the old SAP POS solution to SAP Point-of-Sale by GK. The project will be handled by a local partner with support from GK Software US Inc. This is the first new project being completed in the USA and it will therefore provide an important reference for this market.
GK Software was therefore able to gain five new customers (including this project) during 2014; three of them are based in South Africa and two in North America.
