AAFES Teams With NCR for Chainwide POS Replacement

DALLAS — The Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) will replace 6,000 point-of-sale terminals with NCR Corp.'s RealPOS 72XRT systems.

The new technology will replace non-NCR terminals at both AAFES retail and foodservice locations, and be maintained globally by NCR Services.

"The Army & Air Force Exchange Service needed a flexible and dependable solution to deliver its high levels of customer service worldwide,” said Stan Ratcliffe, president of NCR Government Systems LLC. “We are pleased to be working closely with them as they enhance their store experience to families on-location worldwide.”

The NCR RealPOS 72XRT system features the EZ-Glide Blade System and provides tool-free access to components, enabling fast and easy services and upgrades, according to NCR. It also provides access to system health with advanced remote management capabilities intended to reduce downtime and trim support costs.

Duluth, Ga.-based NCR Corp. enables nearly 550 million transactions daily across retail, financial, travel, hospitality, telecom and technology and small business.

Dallas-based AAFES is part of the U.S. Department of Defense. It is intended to improve the quality of the lives of soldiers, airmen and their families through goods and services and provided.
