Boca Raton, FL. DataMax System Solutions, a leading provider of in-store technology solutions to the retail industry, announced the sale of a terminal and biometric keyboard solution to The Men's Wearhouse, Inc. (NYSE: MW). Houston-based Men's Wearhouse is one of North America's largest specialty retailers of men's apparel with over 500 stores in the U.S. and Canada. Under the multi-million-dollar agreement, DataMax sold to The Men's Wearhouse the customized Key Source keyboard with the retail industry's first integrated biometric device to be used at point of sale. Included as part of the keyboard are a three-track MSR and a bar code port. "The biometric device will serve to facilitate and provide a more secure method to identify an employee and will allow proper access to our point of sale systems. This is an ideal option for us in eliminating the need for employee badges, key cards, or codes," said Harry Levy, executive vice president of The Men's Wearhouse. Levy continued, "The employees may leave their card at home, but will never leave their finger (print) at home."
