                          Customer expectations for the shopping experience have grown tremendously
                          in the past decade with the proliferation of internet-based retailing and the
                          empowerment of the consumer to comparison shop using ever richer detail and
                          instantaneous information. The more recent onset of mobile phone-based retail
                          integration has served to raise these expectations even higher, with consumers
                          demanding fast and superior service from anywhere and at any time. This

                          The use of mobile point of service devices helps retailers provide superior service to
                          customers from anywhere on the shop floor. With mobile POS, retailers can:

                          l	Implement effective queue busting, reducing checkout lines and customer exits
                          l	Increase conversion rates and average ticket metrics
                          l	Empower sales associates to influence the sale during the most critical decision
                            point of the buying process
                          l	Increase POS capacity without using floor space
                          l	Enable fast, easy price and inventory checks
                          l	Improve customer satisfaction
                          l	Establish a digital e-link with customers for direct interaction and increased loyalty
                          l	Improve the productivity of sales associates

                          On the cost side of the equation, one problem mobile solutions have in the retail
                          space is that the relatively low number of units manufactured makes the individual
                          units very expensive even when purchased in bulk. The market leader for retail
                          mobile POS devices for many years was Symbol Technologies, which has since
                          been purchased by Motorola. Typically, the retail-specific hardware devices cost
                          approximately twice as much as an iPhone, even when purchased in bulk.

However, consumerizing IT can make a significant impact on the cost implications
                           for mobile POS. Today’s smart phone is much more powerful than the latest
                           generation of purpose-built handheld mobile computers and, because they are
                           consumer technology, they are manufactured in sufficient quantities to drive
                           down per unit costs. When combined with the hardware sleeve that provides a 2-d
                           barcode scanner and an MSR, the total hardware cost is still less than half that of its
                           industry counterpart. The smart phone has proven itself to be a viable competitor
                           to the purpose built retail devices. In addition, because of the user-friendly and
                           intuitive interface of the smart phones as well as the likelihood that employees are

   reduce overall costs.
                                   Newly revamped Disney Stores are leveraging Oracle technology to facilitate mobile
                                   sales via iPod touch devices and portable printers. Store associates can look up products,
                                   print gift receipts and suspend the transaction if the customer needs to complete it at the
                                   traditional point of sale. During the holiday season, in the 40 stores that implemented
                                   mobile POS, mobile sales accounted for 15-18% of total sales. Disney expects to have
                                   140 of the 200 U.S. stores outfitted with mobile POS by the 2011 holiday season.3



                           Empowering sales associates to close a transaction without being at a physical
                           checkout counter is only one component of the opportunity that mobile POS
                           offers to retailers. Arming them with full access to the rich information and custom
                           business logic of the existing POS from anywhere on the shop floor means they
                           can provide superior service and help influence the sale directly during the
                           most critical part of the decision-making process. For some types of retailers,
                           this integration will be extremely important. Electronics retailers, for example,
                           will benefit greatly from direct integration for full order management including
                           merchandising, pricing, warranty contracts, etc. For all retailers, integration enables
                           richer interaction with the customer to build loyalty and customer satisfaction.

                           In order to achieve this, however, the mobile POS system must be a true extension

of the retailer’s existing POS system, with seamless integration. The mobile
                           interface, therefore, should be just another view into the retailer’s traditional POS
                           environment.

                           Direct integration between multiple front-end devices and back office systems
                           implies considerations both for security as well as management and support.
                           An ideal solution would incorporate an abstraction layer that acts as a mediator
                           between the two environments both to provide isolation as well as to simplify
                           deployment of enhancements or changes on either side. This approach will enable
                           the greatest agility for the retailer to get started quickly with core functions and to
                           seamlessly roll out additional capabilities over time.

                           In addition to increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of your sales associates,
                           a mobile POS solution that is tightly integrated with your existing POS will greatly
                           reduce your support and maintenance resource requirements. If the mobile POS
                           solution is a completely different system that integrates peripherally, then you’ve
                           effectively doubled the number of POS systems you have to support and maintain.

                            While mobile POS implementations are on the rise for certain retail segments,
                            there are a few barriers to entry preventing a more immediate uptake. One
                            of the primary concerns retailers have is the lack of integration of the mobile
                            POS with their existing POS environments.4 Retailers should ensure the system

                           utmost strategic importance.

                           Retailers considering the move to a mobile POS environment can leverage the cost
                           advantages of consumer devices, such as the Apple iPod touch, as long as they also
                           invest in the appropriate remote management software solutions that are available
                           on the market today. Several reputable companies offer solutions for security and

                                                       asset tracking. In some cases, the advanced software
                                                       solutions even enable tracking through GPS in order
                                                       to ensure devices do not leave the premises unless
                                                       warranted.

                                                         When considering the use of a smart phone or iPod

                                                         investing in a device for which established tracking,
                                                         monitoring and managing solutions are readily
                           available. As long as the software enables adherence to corporate standard
                           policies, the results will be increased IT efficiency, reduced support costs and
                           improved employee satisfaction.

With the governance and support of the major credit own retail franchise card companies, online transactions quickly became standard business practice for most large retailers. Today, we are seeing the convergence of i-retailing and by empowering its in-store processes, with retailers setting up kiosks for centralized inventory store associates with searches and product delivery, as well as customers reserving products online but managing pickup and returns within the stores. hand-held iPod touch- Just as i-retailing is more than e-commerce transactions alone, m-retailing, or based POS systems— mobile retailing, is more than just enabling shoppers to transact via their mobile effectively enabling full phones. Innovations on mobile consumer devices are making them prime targets for in-store retail applications that would normally be the purview of customer service from only expensive, retail-specific hardware. A great example is the mobile point of service capabilities for smart phones and other mobile consumer devices. Apple anywhere in the store. transformed its own retail franchise by empowering its store associates with hand- held iPod touch-based POS systems—effectively enabling full customer service from anywhere in the store. The impact has been profound. Lengthy shopping lines can now be avoided; customers are able to move from product search, to information gathering, to full check-out in less time. Establishing an electronic relationship with customers has become part of the standard process, enabling direct interaction for improved loyalty. A recent Gartner survey notes that, across all retail segments, customers cited faster check-outs as a top three priority Establishing an while shopping.1 However, a customer electronic relationship walking away from a sale due to long lines or inadequate service is an avoidable with customers has opportunity loss for retailers whose operations are well-suited for mobile point become part of the of service solutions.

  • 3. MiNiMiziNG COStS / MaxiMiziNG REtuRNS Customer expectations for the shopping experience have grown tremendously in the past decade with the proliferation of internet-based retailing and the empowerment of the consumer to comparison shop using ever richer detail and instantaneous information. The more recent onset of mobile phone-based retail integration has served to raise these expectations even higher, with consumers demanding fast and superior service from anywhere and at any time. This consumer mind-set extends itself full circle back onto the shop floor as well, with “The success of the customers expecting to find what they need and get information on products mobile channel by immediately, and to be able to complete the transaction quickly and securely. 2013 should not Mobile technologies have the potential to make a consummate impact on the landscape of retailing.

In developing countries, the ubiquity of mobile its percentage of phones as compared to Internet connections makes it the clear choice for retailers overall sales, but by looking to enhance sales through digital channels. Gartner, in its recent retail predictions report, identifies that the mobile the sales uplift it can channel will exceed direct sales capacity of other create across all the offline channels, such as catalog and call center sales, within just two to three years. They also cite retailer’s channels.” that mobile technologies will drive significant sales indirectly and may have an even greater HuNG LEHONG impact than e-commerce by the year 2013. With Gartner analyst this is mind, Gartner recommends a multi-channel mobility strategy for retailers.2 November 2010 The use of mobile point of service devices helps retailers provide superior service to customers from anywhere on the shop floor. With mobile POS, retailers can: l Implement effective queue busting, reducing checkout lines and customer exits l Increase conversion rates and average ticket metrics l Empower sales associates to influence the sale during the most critical decision point of the buying process l Increase POS capacity without using floor space l Enable fast, easy price and inventory checks l Improve customer satisfaction l Establish a digital e-link with customers for direct interaction and increased loyalty l Improve the productivity of sales associates On the cost side of the equation, one problem mobile solutions have in the retail space is that the relatively low number of units manufactured makes the individual units very expensive even when purchased in bulk. The market leader for retail mobile POS devices for many years was Symbol Technologies, which has since been purchased by Motorola. Typically, the retail-specific hardware devices cost approximately twice as much as an iPhone, even when purchased in bulk. 2 Predicts 2011: Consumers Push Emerging Retail Channels Into the Mainstream, Hung LeHong, Gartner 3 Publication ID G00208590, November 16, 2010
  • 4. However, consumerizing IT can make a significant impact on the cost implications for mobile POS. Today’s smart phone is much more powerful than the latest generation of purpose-built handheld mobile computers and, because they are consumer technology, they are manufactured in sufficient quantities to drive down per unit costs. When combined with the hardware sleeve that provides a 2-d barcode scanner and an MSR, the total hardware cost is still less than half that of its industry counterpart. The smart phone has proven itself to be a viable competitor to the purpose built retail devices. In addition, because of the user-friendly and intuitive interface of the smart phones as well as the likelihood that employees are Retailers considering already familiar with the look and feel of the device, training costs and user error will be minimized. the investment in Retailers considering the investment in mobile POS solutions should therefore mobile POS solutions consider options that support the use of consumer device-based implementations, should consider options such as the Apple iPod touch or smart phones, in order to further increase returns and reduce overall costs. that support the use of consumer device- SEaMLESS iNtEGRatiON witH yOuR ExiStiNG POS based implementations, such as the Apple iPod “We’re trying to use [technology] to animate activity touch or smart phones, and personalize their store visit.” in order to further StEvE FiNNEy Senior vice President of Global Operations increase returns and Disney Store reduce overall costs. Newly revamped Disney Stores are leveraging Oracle technology to facilitate mobile sales via iPod touch devices and portable printers. Store associates can look up products, print gift receipts and suspend the transaction if the customer needs to complete it at the traditional point of sale. During the holiday season, in the 40 stores that implemented mobile POS, mobile sales accounted for 15-18% of total sales. Disney expects to have 140 of the 200 U.S. stores outfitted with mobile POS by the 2011 holiday season.3 Empowering sales associates to close a transaction without being at a physical checkout counter is only one component of the opportunity that mobile POS offers to retailers. Arming them with full access to the rich information and custom business logic of the existing POS from anywhere on the shop floor means they can provide superior service and help influence the sale directly during the most critical part of the decision-making process. For some types of retailers, this integration will be extremely important. Electronics retailers, for example, will benefit greatly from direct integration for full order management including merchandising, pricing, warranty contracts, etc. For all retailers, integration enables richer interaction with the customer to build loyalty and customer satisfaction. In order to achieve this, however, the mobile POS system must be a true extension 3 Disney Sees 2.5% Increase in Comp Sales with New Oracle POS, Retail TouchPoints, January 13, 2011 4
  • 5. of the retailer’s existing POS system, with seamless integration. The mobile interface, therefore, should be just another view into the retailer’s traditional POS environment. Direct integration between multiple front-end devices and back office systems implies considerations both for security as well as management and support. An ideal solution would incorporate an abstraction layer that acts as a mediator between the two environments both to provide isolation as well as to simplify deployment of enhancements or changes on either side. This approach will enable the greatest agility for the retailer to get started quickly with core functions and to seamlessly roll out additional capabilities over time. An ideal solution would incorporate an CASE STUDY: Global Apparel Retailer abstraction layer that An industry leading global apparel retailer with headquarters in the US rolled out an acts as a mediator iPod touch-based mobile POS solution with tight integration into their Oracle Retail Point of Service (ORPOS) environment across several stores. Their solution leveraged between the two Infogain’s Mobile POS solution components and services in order to isolate the back- end and mobile environments while at the same time simplifying the full integration environments both between their mobile and fixed POS systems. to provide isolation By empowering sales associates to provide better and broader guest services and administrative functions, the client realized an immediate increase in customer as well as to simplify satisfaction. The client is also able to demonstrate the value of assisted selling and tendering at the point of interaction from anywhere on the shop floor, rather than just at deployment of the register. Associates are able to perform the following functions from their hand-held iPod touch enhancements or POS devices: changes on either side. l Scan or Manually Enter Items l Delete Items l Cancel Transactions l Tender the Sale l Credit Card Tender (swipe/manual) l Electronic Signature Capture l Print or Email Receipt l Suspend and Retrieve Transactions l Item Lookup and View Item Details l User Authentication and Security l Gift Card Issue l Gift Card Inquiry and Print Balance l Gift Card Reload and Activation l Credit Card Hard Stop In addition to increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of your sales associates, a mobile POS solution that is tightly integrated with your existing POS will greatly reduce your support and maintenance resource requirements. If the mobile POS solution is a completely different system that integrates peripherally, then you’ve effectively doubled the number of POS systems you have to support and maintain. Ideally, the new mobile POS system will be able to leverage all of the special 5

While mobile POS implementations are on the rise for certain retail segments, there are a few barriers to entry preventing a more immediate uptake. One of the primary concerns retailers have is the lack of integration of the mobile POS with their existing POS environments.4 Retailers should ensure the system CASE STUDY: Global Merchandise Retailer A mobile POS solution A global retailer of consumer products, including toys, home décor, books, magazines, interactive games, food and beverages, stationery, electronics, and fine art, has rolled out that effectively their iPod touch-based mobile POS solution in less than 12 weeks.

A customer may interact with a single or several different sales associates with their mobile POS devices on the shop floor and then decide to shop around more before going to the checkout counter.
