Aldata to supply logistics and cash terminal system to Swedish railways

"The decision about the new store management system was easy to make, since Aldata has previously supplied the system for our Linx trains in Scandinavia. No other system supplier was able to deliver so quickly for SJ's technically complex environment a mobile standard solution that is reliable and fits in so well with our business," states Pentti Huttunen from SJ AB.

Henrik Lindström, managing director of Aldata Solution AB, comments: "The contract is important for us in many respects. It reinforces Aldata's position as a leading supplier of store management systems in the speciality goods and retail sectors. In addition, we see the contract as the start of long-term cooperation with SJ. The contract also demonstrates that Aldata is a safe choice as system supplier."
