FROM:
FRITZ
DATE:
FEBRUARY 8, 1994
SUBJECT:
SCANNERS, UPDATE SOFTWARE
Changes in the liquor industry have required systems using scanners to maintain UPC
codes up to 11 digits. Our present system which is 8 years old will only handle 10 digits.
Three new scanners are needed to accommodate the 11 digit system. Also, parts are no
longer available to repair our present scanners.
Our software system that is 8 years old, is also outdated. An updated software program is
now available. See attached correspondence from Total Register Systems regarding
costs.
e
Total Register Systems has supplied North Bound with all our computer needs and is well
recognized in the liquor industry. They have in excess of 150 stores using their system.
Northbound was one of the first when we purchased the system 8 years ago.
The following are a number of municipal stores that use their system:
Richfield
Edina
Anoka
Rogers
Monticello
Thank you for your consideration.

There are a couple of 1-e,3;30ns for my recommending the:=.e upgro,d""E..
First of all changes in the liquor industry have required systems to
maintain UPC codes up to 11 digits. Your current software will handle
up to 10, and the upgrade will allow up to 12 digits. As for the
scanners, due to age, they are failing at an unexceptable rate and
parts are no longer available to repair them.
If you have any questions about these changes I can be reached at
537-1906. Thanks again Fritz, its been a pleasure doing business with
you.
