After many years of continuous effort to answer the in-store digital needs, we are ready to drive forward the deployment of our innovative next generation ‘’smart-store’’ solutions. Our stylish, high-quality hardware will benefit from a complete suite of innovative AI software that increases revenues and leverages speed of service.”
Co-CEO Jalel Souissi adds “This investment is a strong endorsement of our business direction. We know that partnering with the highly respected Glory Group will be reassuring for our extraordinary, world-leading customers, who can be certain Acrelec will continue to serve them with passion, devotion, and continuous innovation.
