The technology support, merchandising and distribution arm for ShopRite and PriceRite supermarkets, Wakefern Food Corporation, has again selected Datalogic Scanning’s Magellan® bi-optic scanners for its store point-of-sale (POS) upgrades in the northeast region of the United States. With their selection of the Datalogic Scanning Magellan® brand of scanner/scales, Wakefern is in good company, and joins the world’s top ten retailers.

Vice President, Wakefern, Alan Aront, said: “The key factors in our decision to recommend Datalogic Scanning scanner/scales to our ownership group for this major initiative were the performance of Magellan® 8400 and Magellan® 8500 across all bar code symbologies, as well as Datalogic Scanning’s proven track record of delivering high-performance, quality scanners”.

Wakefern has used, for 14 years, the Magellan® family of scanner/scales for its POS. To source and manage this conversion, Wakefern chose Agilysys Inc, a Datalogic Scanning EASEOFBIZ channel partner.

Vice President of Sales for the Americas at Datalogic Scanning, Glen Feeley, said: “The long-term business relationship with Wakefern is a testament to Datalogic Scanning’s commitment to high quality, reliable products; dedicated people; and flexible, responsive customer service”. “We are proud to offer the best-in-class line of Magellan® bi-optic retail scanner/scales to such a well-known retailer, as Wakefern Food Corporation.”
