NCR deploys self-serve kiosks in Canada's Bay and Home Outfitters
August 8, 2010
Hudson's Bay Company, Canada's largest diversified general merchandise retailer and provider of Canada's largest gift registry, and NCR Corp. officially announced a partnership that sees NCR's SelfServ 60 kiosk systems deployed in-store at the Bay and Home Outfitter locations across the country.
Through this national rollout, which took place between December 2009 and March 2010, customers receive increased versatility, improved speed, enhanced graphics and larger, brighter monitors, according to the announcement. Using capacitive touch technology, customers are able to navigate easily through bridal registry screens with a single tap of the finger. The new kiosks feature reduced power consumption and offer double-sided printing with NCR's 2ST, both designed to lower carbon footprint, consumables usage and waste, and other environmental impacts.
NCR SelfServ 60 incorporates Intel's Active Management Technology (AMT), which enables remote problem diagnosis, updates and repairs — even when the device is turned off or the operating system is not functioning.
