Represented in more than 55,000 stores worldwide and available in 14 languages, the company's technology manages billions of transactions annually under the brand names of IPMS, IP synaro, OnePointe and RetailPro, and is the leader in multi-channel retailing software.
"We successfully tested the Datamax E-4204 and E-4304, and these models will be added to the latest RetailPro Hardware Compatibility List on our Business Partner website," said Jon Cutright, RetailPro Software Quality Assurance Engineer.
RetailPro Product Manager, Bryan Burd, stated, "The primary use of the Datamax printers will be for receipts and Z-outs. We have a robust document design module, and the Datamax E-4304 is a perfect match for our functionality."
"While our E-Class has experienced worldwide acceptance in a variety of applications, we are very excited about this new relationship with RetailPro," said Steve Horrocks, Software Alliances and Integration Services for Datamax. "As more and more of our channel partners expand their business models, they communicate back to us the market segments in which they need our assistance. RetailPro owns an important part of the retail/POS space and this alliance will provide our partners with a significant application solution."
