GuestLogix plans on-board ticketing

Toronto-based GuestLogix, a provider of on-board retail systems to the passenger travel industry, will release an on-board Broadway ticketing service on flights to the New York City area, says IT News.

The GuestLogix plan includes a multi-year agreement with Broadway Inbound, a division of Shubert Ticketing, dedicated to wholesale theatre ticket distribution to the travel industry.

The companies expect this first-of-its-kind ticketing service to go live on-board a major North American airline by late summer 2008.

New sensor-based technology developed by Indian IT services company Infosys Technologies provides information to retailers and consumer products companies on shopper behaviour, states Networkworld.

The technology, called ShoppingTrip360, can serve as the basis for a variety of applications at the retail level, such as better planning of store layout, including checkout counters; better utilisation of electricity; location of new products and promotions; and using location-based services to reach out to in-store customers on their mobile phones, Infosys executives said.

The company is already doing pilots of this technology with some of its customers in the retail industry.

Retail software provider, Celerant Technology introduced CommandRetail.com, a product-specific Web site for the retail technology market, reports PR Inside.

The new site is named after Celerant Command Retail, which is the company's real-time retail management system, and acts as a complete resource for the software and related products.

"CommandRetail.com allows for immediate access to information regarding the Command Retail product and has a greater focus on the technical side of the system," says Ian Goldman, Celerant president and CEO.
