NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 02/24/09 -- Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Inc. is unveiling a host of new "Univations" for retailers in the form of U-Serv® self-service hardware and partner software at the National Retail Federation (NRF) 98th Annual Convention and Expo, Jan. 12-13 in New York City.

The Fujitsu booth #411 will feature the newest U-Serv models and applications. These include:

  • The U-Serv 50 entry-level kiosk solution, which can be configured for countertop use or free standing on a pedestal. The U-Serv 50 will be displayed as part of the DeliVision System self-ordering kiosk, in conjunction with partner Modiv Media. Roche Bros, a New England-based grocer, recently began implementing this solution chain-wide.


  • The U-Serv 60 will feature theater ticketing, which allows movie patrons to forego long lines at the box office by self-ticketing with the kiosk. Patrons can either go online and order a ticket for will call pick-up at the kiosk, or browse the available movies and purchase on site. Today, Regal Entertainment and AMC Entertainment, the number one and two movie chains in the world, use Fujitsu ticketing solutions.


  • The U-Serv 75 is Fujitsu's higher-end kiosk solution. In concert with software partner Escalate Retail, the U-Serv 75 will feature assisted guided selling application. Guided selling allows consumers to help themselves by simple queries and unbiased suggestions and recommendations.


  • The U-Serv 150 exterior solution is ruggedized for outdoor use. It features a 17" touch screen color display, card reader, omni-directional scanner and high-end PC. The U-Serv 150 has been redesigned to make it more affordable for more locations like stadium and concert venues. The U-Serv 150 is a Univations solution but will not be displayed at NRF.


  • Med-Serv Patient Registration Kiosk. Along with sister company Fujitsu Computer Products of America, and partner Allscripts, Fujitsu is demonstrating a patient registration kiosk. The Med-Serv unit shows how a patient can register and be positively identified using Fujitsu palm vein biometric technology.


  • Fujitsu will also be demonstrating the power of multiple software applications on the same kiosk. A U-Serv 100 kiosk under the control of St. Clair Interactive Communication's multi-application software, will demonstrate Treo Systems Wayfinder software and Modiv Media DeliVision.

"Today, consumer demand for self-service options has become mandatory in the retail environment," said Peter Wolf, vice president of self-service and Univations operations at Richardson, Texas-based Fujitsu Transaction Solutions. "Fujitsu has a renewed focus on self-service technology in retail, and these new U-Serv solutions and applications represent that commitment to quality and affordable innovations that will further enhance customer service and satisfaction."
