Success stories
> ALTADIS: development of an application for sales
and shop management
Pentalog was entrusted by Strator – Altadis Group with the development of a new
optimized application with additional functions for sales management (book shops,
tobacconists).
The goal is to create a software, named Gamme6, that has 2 sections:
• a Desktop application (heavy sales client) installed in the cash register in the
store (application developed by Strator)
• a Web Strator application (light management client) installed on a Strator
server in an Altadis environment available via Internet, like a Web application
(developed by Pentalog)
These 2 applications will exchange information on the same database, by using Web Services.
The software will be available via the shop and mobile systems, like PDA for example.
The Pentalog team will increase in size during the project. Different teams will be working on 3 offshore sites: Iasi (Romania), Chisinau
(Republic of Moldova) and Hanoi (Vietnam).
