- International project in more than two dozen countries
Schöneck, 22. December 2011 - An important international fashion retailer
has engaged the services of GK SOFTWARE AG to equip its stores in more than
two dozen countries. The project will involve introducing new store
software and central control solutions for more than 700 stores of the
company. One of the major focuses of the project is the close integration
of the store solutions within the central software provided by SAP.
The Management Board at GK SOFTWARE AG is not expecting the project to
trigger any significant effects on sales in fiscal 2011 and is therefore
continuing to stand by its current forecast for the ongoing business year.
Company profile GK SOFTWARE AG:
GK SOFTWARE AG is one of the leading technology developers and providers of
standard software for the retail sector in Europe and has an extensive
range of products for stores and enterprise headquarters. As a result of
its open software solutions in the GK/Retail Suite, which can be used with
any platform and is fully programmed in Java, the company has established
itself on the market as a leading provider of technology and innovations.
The software provides ideal business organization for retail companies with
many stores and therefore offers significant potential for cost savings and
customer loyalty programs so that companies can increase their
competitiveness.

company headquarters in Schöneck and four other business locations in

with strong growth since 1990.
