C-CO Technologies Expands Product Offerings
This week, C-CO Technologies, Inc. (C-CO) of Newtown, a leading provider of commerce solutions for retailers, announced the expansion of its in-store systems Point of Sale (POS) product line beyond the traditional chain store retail environment with the signing of The Villages. A retirement resort community located in Central Florida.
Located at 30 Church Hill Road, C-CO has three divisions: Software, Cable and Installation, and Internet Services.
C-CO will provide its AS/400 Server-based POS application for use in The Villagesâ company-owned retail stores. This application will tie together The Villagesâ various retail store formats into one comprehensive, centralized database that will provide them with real time, interactive access to sales and inventory data. The product will also be customized to interface to The Villagesâ in-house golf tee time reservation system allowing tee time reservations to be paid for at the point-of-sale and simultaneously updating the tee time reservation system in real time.
âOur agreement with The Villages allows us to realize one of our Year 2000 strategic initiatives â entry into new markets for our in-store systems solutions,â said Gregory Cinicolo, President and CEO of C-CO Technologies, Inc. âThe development of our product lines beyond our traditional retail applications opens us to new opportunities in resort facilities, theme parks and similar venues. Weâre looking forward to working with The Villages and continuing to demonstrate the tremendous adaptability of our AS/400 product line,â he said.
âWe looked at several different solutions for POS, before finally selecting C-CO Technologies,â said Dale Borrowman, director of information systems for The Villages. âBesides the features at both the host and POS levels, the fact that C-CO was capable of interfacing to many of our existing AS/400 based systems was a big selling point for us. We consider this transaction to be as much about relationship with the vendor as it is the actual software solution itself and The Villages is looking forward to working with the staff from C-CO as our business continues to grow.â
