GS1 workshop: Atos Worldline participates at GS1 workshop on the mobile commerce in Japan.
GS1 is a leading global organisation dedicated to the design and implementation of global standards and solutions to improve the efficiency and visibility of supply and demand chains globally and across sectors.
Within the framework of its contribution to “Mobile Commerce” GS1 working group, the Atos Worldline R & D and Business Marketing & Strategy departments took part in a workshop in Tokyo in November 2007 in order to observe the usages of the mobile in a country much more advanced in this sector than Europe or the United States.

France Loisirs launches a new automated phone order service in voice recognition with Atos Worldline
Atos Worldline was awarded by France Loisirs with the design, build, run and hosting of its new automated order phone service. Based on voice recognition technology, this innovating service called “Order Flash” makes the order process quicker (less than 3 minutes) and more user-friendly for the customers, while reducing the number of calls towards the platform. Atos Worldline voice application offers a simplified ergonomy: the customer just needs to give verbally his client’s number as well as the products’ references to be ordered, and is thus released from typing constraints.
