Wakefern Again Selects Datalogic Scanning's Magellan Scanner/Scales For Supermarket Conversions

Eugene, OR - Wakefern Food Corporation, the technology support, merchandising and distribution arm for ShopRite and PriceRite supermarkets, 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. Wakefern is in good company, and joins the world's top ten retailers, with their selection of the Datalogic Scanning Magellan brand of scanner/scales.

"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," said Alan Aront, Vice President, Wakefern.

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

"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," said Glen Feeley, Vice President of Sales for the Americas at Datalogic Scanning. "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."

Datalogic Scanning is the recognized worldwide leader in high-performance retail point-of-sale scanners. For the last three years running the company was the worldwide leader in total global shipments of stationary bar code scanners, as measured by Venture Development Corporation (VDC), an independent technology market research and consulting firm.
