StoreNext, mCosm offer self-service suite for grocers

February 27, 2006

PLANO, Texas - StoreNext Retail Technologies LLC announced an agreement with mCosm LLC to offer a suite of self-service applications to independent grocers. mCosm products also deliver in-store advertising and promotional content to shoppers.

Two new mCosm all-in-one computer products - the FanlessTouch&Go Paige and the Touch&Go Messenger self-service kiosks - will be offered with StoreNext's Connected Services Internet-based applications under the agreement, to create a centralized kiosk management system for small-chain grocers.

Designed for mounting on a store shelf end-cap or on an in-line store shelf, the Touch&Go Paige Computer is powered by the Intel Pentium M processor. It allows shoppers to look-up prices and store locations of available products, match wine with food and access new promotions.

The Touch&Go Messenger is a portrait- or landscape-mounted, all-in-one computer with an LCD touchscreen, ranging in size from a 32-inch to a 45-incj unit.

The systems allow retailers to better feature in-store promotions, announce upcoming events and relay more detailed information to customers.
