Retail software portfolio acquires expanded functionality

Wincor Nixdorf has expanded its portfolio of software for international retail companies to include new functions for the central control and administration of all the systems in a store. The goal of these expansions is to improve reactivity and process efficiency with a holistic solution, and at the same time to reduce IT costs for users. In addition, the solutions in the Retail Application Suite have been developed further and are now ready for use in near-retail environments such as hospitality, postal services and service stations.
TPEnterprise, which is the comprehensive suite of solutions for the central management of a retail company’s store landscape, contains two software packages that can be used independently of one another to control and administer business processes and store IT. With TPAdmin, tasks such as store configuration, software distribution, system monitoring and the targeted design and execution of company-wide marketing and pricing strategies can be initiated and tracked. TPAnalyze is the business intelligence component of this suite. It can be used to provide business administrative results and analyses across the company, online and tailored to the company's wishes. 
In addition to the ongoing functional development of TP.Net und TPLinux, Wincor Nixdorf has focused on adapting these solutions to the demands of a wide variety of retail formats, checkout scenarios and sales concepts. In line with this strategy, the company is introducing solutions that meet the requirements of near-retail installations such as those in the hospitality, service station, or postal services segments. 
“With this portfolio, Wincor Nixdorf achieves a unique position as the provider of a software range that can meet the needs of ten different market segments and is installed on four different continents,“ says Dr. Michael Schulte, head of software marketing at Wincor Nixdorf.
