STORS can deliver category and product-specific information targeted to each connected PC. With STORS, each PC can display a comprehensive set of targeted, up-to-date information - including the latest prices and current promotions - in a compelling way that goes well beyond shelf tags, printed materials or un-connected demos.

STORS PC Highlights
