AIM specialises in electronic systems for Point of Sale (POS), and is the leader in equiping stores with invoicing and banking verification tools. AIM systems can interface with scanners, cash registers and also with EDI systems. Highly automated, their use requires little human intervention.
AIM has among its customers Sainsbury's, House of Fraser, WHSmith, The Co-op Group and The Body Shop.
"We had tried other tools in the past, but when we heard about Four J’s we were interested by the quality of their documentation and the technical skills of its teams. We have been able to make our product -DIDOS - better without having to rewrite the whole application. We were also very satisfied with the level of technical support supplied during the installation at the point of sale. Brands better known than Four J's could learn a thing or two from the way they behave towards its customers."
