Roots will pilot the solution in May, and will begin a 120-store rollout this summer, installing more than 270 TeamPoS 3000 units across all Roots locations in Canada and the United States. The agreement also includes a five-year service agreement for the new POS hardware.

The TeamPoS 3000 POS system, based on Intel® Pentium® M and Celeron® M processors, offers improved reliability, enhanced serviceability and support for the latest peripheral technology. The terminals adhere to RoHS and WEEE "green" standards, and feature a strategically designed chassis that offers easy access to major components from the front, reducing retailers' downtime and maintenance costs.

Fujitsu's Retainer Plus Services Model redefines the store systems maintenance contract, and offers an incentive-based program under which the retailer and Fujitsu collaborate to reduce redundant and low-value service activity. The result is an efficient and effective program that continually lowers retailers' maintenance costs and improves equipment up-time.
