Solution brief Mobile Point of Sale
ThinkPad Tablet 2 Mobile Point of Sale (mPOS) *
An enterprise-class retail solution that will impress your customers
Give customers the experiences they want 61% of shoppers believe they have access to more information about products than store associates.1 Mobile point of sale (mPOS) solutions meet the challenge by empowering sales associates to interact with customers in new ways: providing immediate service and expert advice, turning shoppers into buyers, eliminating check-out lines, and freeing up more space for sales and merchandising. Touch interface tablets are a powerful mPOS solution, but implementation may
not be so easy. Everyday consumer-grade tablets are difficult to manage, deploy, and secure, and they can be fragile. And the consumer tablet ecosystem forces enterprise users to adopt such practices as shared sign-ons per device, mandatory app store accounts for each user, and using custom apps from an authority that does not have a vested interest in your success.
