ATLANTA, June 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative information technology and hospitality software solutions, today announced the availability of its new mobile point-of-sale solution. The Agilysys InfoGenesis™ Mobile POS system, designed to increase efficiency and enhance guest service, is being introduced at HITEC 2012 in Baltimore.
The Agilysys InfoGenesis Mobile POS solution is a full-featured mobile point-of-sale application that integrates seamlessly with the Agilysys InfoGenesis POS system. Built on Android, the world's most popular mobile platform, the solution leverages a Mobile Device Management (MDM) system to allow remote deployment of the application. Features include: support for multiple check types, both at time of creation and while checks are still open; support for both required and optional modifiers; one-click item reordering; summary check item view; and typed special instruction capabilities. The next version will add seat assignment support, barcode scanning, magnetic strip reading, signature capture, remote Bluetooth printing, split check capabilities, multiple language and currency support, and the option of charging items to a guest's credit card or posting charges to the guest's hotel folio.
"We have used the Agilysys InfoGenesis POS system for many years and were eager to implement the new mobile application," said Ram Patrachari, vice president of information technology at Viejas Casino in Alpine, Calif. "We have found it to be a very comprehensive and powerful solution, yet easy for users to learn. It has enhanced guest service by streamlining food and beverage delivery and allowing servers to spend more time on the floor. The system has a wide range of features and functionality. We are still in the learning phase and look forward to expanding its use."
The Agilysys InfoGenesis Mobile POS application is based on key functionality found in the award-winning Agilysys InfoGenesis POS system as well as user recommendations and industry demands for wireless and handheld solutions. An intuitive modern design coupled with a straightforward user interface make the system easy for staff to learn, and minimal administration is required. Screens, items, tables and check type configurations are handled centrally within the Agilysys InfoGenesis POS system.
"The InfoGenesis Mobile POS solution combines a wide range of capabilities with exceptional flexibility and reliability, so that servers can work smarter and more efficiently," said Jim Dennedy, president and chief executive officer of Agilysys. "This feature-rich solution helps increase order accuracy, speed of service and check amounts. It also enables hospitality venues to deliver a more satisfying customer experience by enabling staff to focus on the guest rather than the technology."
Agilysys will demo the InfoGenesis Mobile POS solution at HITEC, June 26-28, in Baltimore, Booth #808.
