Subtitle: Supply of mobile terminals and management software

Hannover / Germany, 06/12//2011. (euro adhoc) - A tried-and-tested
collaboration is set to continue: the grocery retailer tegut… has
ordered the latest skeye.allegro LS handhelds as part of a follow-up
order placed. Hoeft & Wessel will be delivering the mobile terminals
starting next year, in an effort to support tegut… in their continued
expansion drive. For the 400 new handhelds and the roughly 1,500
units of the predecessor type already deployed in its stores, tegut…
will also be opting for a software solution from Hoeft & Wessel AG,
the skeye.com management system. skeye.com handles the central
management, administration and configuration for all the mobile
terminals, greatly reducing the expenditure involved in deploying the
devices.

tegut… is a regional commercial retail enterprise located in central
Germany. The company´s head office is in Fulda, in the eastern part
of the German federal state of Hesse. tegut… became known primarily
thanks to its pioneering effort in promoting organic foods, which the
company has been selling in its shops with steadily growing success
since the beginning of the 1980s. Today, around 6,300 employees work
in more than 300 supermarkets in Hesse, northern Bavaria, southern
Lower Saxony, Thuringia and Mainz (Rhineland-Palatinate), in the
production facilities of herzberger bäckerei and kff - kurhessische
fleischwaren GmbH fulda, as well as in other tegut… enterprises. In
the year 2010, the family company generated EUR 1.15 billion in
sales. For the mobile terminals used in merchandise management,
tegut… has been relying on solutions from Hoeft & Wessel since as far
back as the 1990s.

Benjamin Beinroth, Head of IT at tegut…, is impressed with the
further technical development of the skeye.allegro. "The speed and
the integrative capabilities of the handheld deliver further support
to our strategic plan for mobile branch merchandise management on the
hardware side. Plus, the new unit allows us to use the previous
generation devices in parallel, which means it is not necessary to
completely re-equip our supermarkets. In the meantime, the
predecessor models from Hoeft & Wessel are also being upgraded and
fitted with additional memory so that they can handle the
ever-increasing complexity of software processes.

This is the third time already that the company has opted for Hoeft &
Wessel solutions. "The follow-up order once again confirms the
quality of our products and our leading role in mobile data capture
in the German retail market," says a delighted Andreas Gimpel, Senior
Key Account Manager, Skeye Enterprise Sales with Hoeft & Wessel. The
mobile terminals of the Skeye brand have stood the test of time in
the operations of tegut… very well, and once again they succeeded
against some renowned competitors.

The latest generation of skeye.allegro terminals features a very
powerful processor board and the highly successful display in
landscape format. The latter allows users to absorb complex
information much better and more quickly than the conventional
portrait format. To handle the merchandise management at tegut…, the
units loaded with the reliable Windows CE 6.0 operating system will
run the GK StoreWeaver program; the device has already received the
relevant certifications. Data transmission and the link to SAP will
be via WLAN and Ethernet.
