CUMBERLAND, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Torex Retail Americas, a global retail solution provider, announced today that contracts have been signed with Foodland, a division of the Sullivan Family of Companies.

The ISIS solution, along with IBM servers and IBM SurePOS terminals will be installed in their chain of 29 Foodland supermarkets and in 7 Food Pantry and Malama Market stores over the next year.

Foodland chose Torex Retail's ISIS solution to enhance customer service and improve front-end operations and overall efficiency at their Foodland stores.
