Sandwich chain Subway signs BI contract

The UK's PXtech will provide its cloud BI solution to 35,000 stores

The Subway sandwich chain has signed a multi-year global contract with UK-based IT solutions developer PXtech.

The company has taken on PXtech's cloud-based PXportal business intelligence system, which will provide each of the chain's 35,000 stores with real-time data from point-of-sale systems across multiple outlets.

PXtech managing director Richard Dorf said: "Growing franchises need brand consistency and having a clear view of the detailed business performance data from each store helps with this.

"PXportal will provide opportunities to drive sales, detect anomalies and eliminate wastage.

"Some 11,000 stores have already joined the service and there are now thousands of hits daily on the site."
