Clarity Retail
4690 Integration
MATRA Systems is one of the world's premier providers of solutions and services that add value to the IBM 4690 POS systems environment. We employ some of the original designers of the 4690 and have a thorough understanding of the entire system.
Our highly-skilled 4690 team members regularly work on projects with major 4690 users around the world, offering development services and design consultancy, training and support.
More importantly, all of MATRA's FREEDOM products are able to integrate with the 4690, extending its capability significantly and delivering value to the business. Through straightforward integration of the FREEDOM modules, the 4690 can be enhanced with, for example, better promotional capability, refund management, real time information exchange, loss prevention, electronic gift cards, loyalty schemes, cashless environments and electronic payments.
For some retailers though the 4690 lacks the agility to keep pace with the increasing demands of modern retail. Our modern, multi-channel POS solution (FREEDOM-POS) is unique in its ability to work alongside or completely replace the 4690 environment in a low cost, low risk phased manner. FREEDOM provides a superset of SA and GSA function and supports 4690 functions, file interfaces, operational processes and messages. It can even operate on the lowest spec 4683 registers - allowing for complete re-use of the estate and a controlled hardware replacement strategy.
FREEDOM has already successfully replaced thousands of 4690 lanes across the world, delivering a rapid path to modern open systems and a strategic platform from which those retailers can create their future retailing concepts.
