By Home Furnishings Business in High Point on October 2008 Dell has teamed up with the High Point Market to supply computers that power new Product Locator and Internet access stations in several showroom buildings, event organizers announced Friday.

Dell operates a 750,000-square-foot desktop computer factory just west of High Point. New Product Locator stations will be located in the lobbies of major multi-tenant buildings across the city. There will also be Internet access terminals in several locations, including Merchandise Mart Properties, the domestic buyer center in Showplace, the International Home Furnishings Center and the Media Center.

“Dell is happy to work with the High Point Market Authority and support the High Point Market,” said Mehran Ravanpay, Dell’s director of North Carolina operations. “This sponsorship is an excellent opportunity to showcase our world-class computers in the ambiance of the world’s most beautiful furnishings.”

Market Authority President and CEO Brian Casey said, “With more than 70 product categories and thousands of new product introductions from more than 2,000 exhibitors spread across 12 million square feet of showroom space, navigating the High Point Market can be a daunting task. The new Product Locator stations are designed to provide access to core information essential to both our seasoned buyers and first-time visitors and to make the buying process more efficient for all.”

With the technology, buyers can search a product category and map their route to the showroom they select, complete with a map of shuttle routes that serve their destination.
