New IBM SurePOS™ 700

Retailers need smarter store solutions.  The award-winning, energy-efficient SurePOS™ 700 is IBM’s most powerful point-of-sale system, delivering maximum performance, service-ability, energy efficiency and adaptability to drive today’s smarter store solutions.  When combined with industry-leading IBM software, system and data integration and management the latest SurePOS 700 models take IBM Smarter Store Solutions to new levels of power in transforming the point of sale to a cross-channel point of service.  Innovative, retail-optimized technology makes the SurePOS 700 more valuable to retailers than ever before.  With next generation Intel Core i3 processing as an option, scalable memory choices up to 8 GB, and hard disk or solid state drives options, the SurePOS 700 packs 10 percent to 50 percent more performance power, faster processing and extra storage capacity to drive the most demanding consumer service and enterprise applications.  High speed networking enables consumers and employees to rapidly access cross-channel offerings.  Support for dual video displays with superior graphics helps deliver an engaging, interactive customer experience.

Increased efficiency and reliability means fast ROI and more profit.  Checkout lanes that can be put into service in a matter of seconds help lower employee costs and satisfy shoppers who, too often, abandon their purchases rather than wait in line.  The IBM SurePOS 700, with easy-to-wake deep sleep, enables stores to provide customer service on demand, saving up to 47 percent in energy and optimizing staff time.  IBM Light-Path Management visual indicators on the front panel of the SurePOS signal potential system failures and allow easy diagnosis and correction before problems occur, keeping business moving.  Remote monitoring of environmental variables enables proactive servicing and maintenance.  Retail-hardening helps insure systems provide reliable service in the most harsh and rigorous store locations.  The open standards platform reduces the complexity of system integration with new and legacy systems, and the virtually tool-free design helps lower service costs.

The IBM SurePOS 700 offers a new low profile, distributed cover that increases opportunities for store placement while promoting energy efficiency and easy maintenance.  Built to accommodate performance enhancements that might result in overheating, discreet air vents on the bezel allow front-to-back airflow and eliminate the need for side vents, providing flexibility in placing the system under counters or tight spaces in the store.  Models are also available in distributed and integrated configurations with traditional covers.  Virtually tool-free, secure and easy front access to internal components maximizes uptime and usability.  Additionally a service lifecycle of up to seven years and highly scalable technology that integrates with legacy systems helps retailers get maximum use of their SurePOS 700 now and into the future.
