HP has unveiled a point of sale (PoS) solution that it says helps retailers 'enhance the customer experience and maximise staff productivity'.
The HP ElitePad Mobile PoS Solution comprises the HP ElitePad and the HP Retail Jacket for ElitePad.
According to Enrique Lores, GM and senior VP of HP's business PCs and solutions, the PoS solution allows businesses to meet customer needs anywhere in the shop with mobile POS and assisted selling capabilities, and integrates into a retailer's existing IT infrastructure.
He said built-in functionality of the HP ElitePad Mobile PoS Solution includes a 1D/2D bar code scanner and a three-track encrypted bi-directional magnetic stripe reader for a fully integrated design with built-in PoS functionality.
Lores said these mobile sales tools allow businesses to engage more easily with customers on the sales floor. Another enhancement, the integrated detachable hand strap, provides extra stability and usability.
Lastly, he said the battery lasts more than a day, and an optional secondary battery enables the mobile solution to operate for extended hours to increase productivity and help make the most of every sales opportunity.
"With the rise of sophisticated e-commerce and mobile technologies, today's tech-savvy consumers expect instant, customised access to a brand's offerings."
