CLEVELAND - Oct. 4, 2011 - Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative information technology and hospitality software solutions, today announced that SAVOR, a food concessions and catering management company headquartered in Philadelphia, has selected the Agilysys Eatec® inventory and procurement system to streamline operations and enhance guest service. Venues that initially will use the solution include: Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Ok.; Hawaii Convention Center in Honolulu; Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center in Long Beach, Calif.; and Savannah International Trade & Convention Center in Savannah, Ga. "When selecting a solution to control our inventory and catering operations, we determined that the Agilysys Eatec system provided the best value and has the functionality necessary to handle our diversified business model," said T. J. Heininger, corporate finance director at SAVOR. "We use standardized systems in concessions and accounting, and we wanted to close the loop on all critical information pathways. The Eatec solution's core inventory system, along with its add-on modules, will enable us to do that while strengthening our competitive advantage. We believe the implementation of this system will materially demonstrate additional SAVOR value in the eyes of our current clients and will also help us attract new business opportunities." The Agilysys Eatec software solution is a Microsoft Windows®-based full-featured inventory and procurement system designed specifically for the foodservice and hospitality industries. Along with its core purchasing, inventory, recipe, forecasting, production and sales analysis functions, the system also offers modules for buffet management, catering, nutrition, retail management and cycle planning. The modular structure enables customers to construct the exact set of features they need - whether it is an enterprise-wide solution for multiple sites, or a single-site system for multiple functions. The Agilysys Eatec suite also offers more than 400 standard reports, which will allow SAVOR customers to make more informed business decisions. "In an industry where margins are tight and mistakes are costly, an automated inventory and procurement solution is an essential management tool," said Jim Dennedy, president and chief executive officer of Agilysys. "The Agilysys Eatec system, which is one of the most flexible foodservice management solutions on the market, will modernize operations at SAVOR's customer locations around the globe, helping ensure reductions in food costs and labor, higher inventory turns and improved visibility. Best of all, it will provide the information necessary for insightful analysis, which will result in more informed and profit-driven decisions."
