Livewire to supply kiosks to Pfaltzgraff Stores

Retail stores will offer self-service gift registry and other functions

Livewire Kiosk announced today that it has signed an agreement with The Pfaltzgraff Co. to provide a network of web-connected interactive kiosks to Pfaltzgraff's 70 retail outlets.

Using the kiosks, Pfaltzgraff customers will be able to access Pfaltzgraff’s gift registry, its database of patterns, and its online catalog. Livewire is known for its expertise in developing kiosks for the retail environment, having deployed over 120 retail kiosks in the past 3 years. The Pfaltzgraff kiosks will be based on Livewire’s proven web-enabled kiosk technology. Livewire expects to have the first kiosks in place by January 1, 2003.

Howard Blumenthal, Pfaltzgraff’s Director of E-Commerce said "We’re always looking for new ways to serve our customers and this system will allow them to easily establish and access a national gift registry while in our stores. In addition, the kiosks will also provide an easy way for customers to find all available items in their dinnerware patterns or place special orders. With Livewire’s assistance, we believe that we’ll be able to add even more customer benefits to the kiosks over time."

According to Roy Smith, Livewire’s President, "We are delighted to have Pfaltzgraff as a customer for our retail kiosk business. Pfaltzgraff is known for doing things the right way and we are pleased to have their vote of confidence in our abilities. We are anxious to help them create a customer experience that is second to none."
