Fashion retailer turns to kiosks for high-tech help

September 26, 2002

WADDINXVEEN, Netherlands -- Fashion retailer Mexx is bringing the catwalk to kiosks as it offers shoppers more high-tech help. The Germany-based chain has teamed with n-store multimedia to add touch-screen kiosks to its stores in France, Germany and the Netherlands.

By the end of the year, Mexx will have either stand-alone or wall-mount kiosks with Internet connections in its Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Belgium, Hungary and the United Arab Emirates locations. The kiosks use Kudos remote management software, according to a Mexx news release.

Shoppers can use the kiosks to watch models parading down the catwalk or zoom in on the detail of materials. A restricted-access Internet browser links users to Mexx's corporate Web site and its e-Shop.

Netherlands-based n-store multimedia is managing the project. Mexx, based in Germany, operates 840 stores worldwide.
