Mail Boxes Etc., Inc. (MBE), a wholly owned subsidiary of UPS. Its point of sale (POS) system is the heart of the retail operation, allowing stores to perform retail transactions, and delivering up-to-date retail data that helps MBE headquarters make daily business decisions. MBE's aging in-house-developed POS system was difficult to maintain and lacked critical features. MBE needed an agile solution the IT team could quickly and easily update, and a single source for in-store technology. Above all, the company needed a stable POS solution. Working with ISS Retail, an HP strategic in-store solutions provider, HP brought together the special expertise MBE needed, and pulled together a POS hardware solution - including the HP rp5000 Point of Sale System and dozens of components.
