SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Fujitsu, a
leading information communication technology (ICT) company, today
announced an International Distribution and License Agreement with
OnCue Technologies, a developer of in-aisle point-of-information
solutions that are designed to enhance the consumer shopping
experience. Through this relationship, Fujitsu will resell OnCue
Technologies' InfoCue and Expert OnCue mini kiosk solutions to
big-box, grocery, beverage and hardware retailers in the United States.
OnCue Technologies' cloud-based, customizable mini kiosks
benefit retailers by enabling them to deliver expert advice and
product information to customers in the aisle without requiring
employee training. The responsive touch screen kiosks feature
capabilities, including complete SKU data, audio and video

shopping list and coupon printing. The solutions empower consumers
with immediate information needed to make a purchase decision.
"We're excited to expand our consumer-focused offerings as a
reseller of OnCue Technologies' solutions," said Marc Janssens, executive vice president of
retail and platform products at Fujitsu America, Inc. "These
solutions fill the gaps that exist today in the aisle by providing
comprehensive knowledge about products, inventory and availability
for when your smartphone isn't smart enough. Our relationship with
OnCue strengthens our ongoing commitment to helping retailers
improve the consumer shopping experience."
Fujitsu is a recognized leader in a wide range of retail
solutions, including point-of-service (POS), self-service, mobile
and omni-channel solutions, applications and services. Fujitsu has
built a deep retail expertise over the past 30 years with more than
500 customers and 82,000 stores in more than 50 countries.
"We believe that retail stores are at a tipping point and there
needs to be a dramatic change in customer engagement to leverage
web technologies to improve the bottom line," said Dionne van Zyl, chief executive officer at OnCue
Technologies. "The new OnCue / Fujitsu relationship is the first to
bring an exciting solution to the industry that can truly change
the way vendors communicate with the end consumer in the aisle. In
short, OnCue and Fujitsu are offering the entire industry something
they have never seen before - a means to influence a buyer at the
point of decision with expert information and content. This is a
game changer and we are excited about our new relationship with
Fujitsu to help retailers address the pressing issues of online
shopping and customer engagement in the 21st century."
