RESTON, Va. - Showroom Technologies Inc. announced in a news release that it has secured deals to place its SHOW/PRO retail kiosk system in a number of furniture retailers, including Furniture Fair of North Carolina, Oskar Huber Furniture, Interiors, and Miller Brothers Furniture.
Showroom Technology's installation of two pilot SHOW/PRO kiosks at American Furniture Warehouse, Colorado's biggest home furnishings retailer with well over $300 million in annual sales, has proved to be a success. "The Showroom Technology kiosk system has worked just as we thought it would. Even though our pilot was limited to two kiosks for ninety days, there is no question about the positive results obtained thus far," said Tony Mitchell, purchasing manager at American Furniture Warehouse. "The kiosk has improved our customer's shopping experience while contributing to the store's increase in sales performance."
The SHOW/PRO kiosks at American Furniture Warehouse are interfaced with CitiFinancial Retail Services' promotional credit system and Storis Management Systems' point-of-sale system. American Furniture Warehouse has plans to continue rolling out SHOW/PRO kiosks to other stores.
