Panasonic, an industry leader in retail technology solutions
designed to enhance customer and employee experiences, today
announced it will highlight a host of Android™-based retail
applications optimized to run on the Panasonic Toughpad™ A1 tablet
computer at the National Retail Federation (NRF) Convention &
Expo in New York City (booth #2239). Solutions to be showcased at
the event, which runs from January 16-17, include retail management
and communications applications from Stratix, RBM Technologies,
Data Capture Solutions and MagTek.
Panasonic’s Android-powered tablet has the potential change the
way stores do business and enhance the shopping experience for
customers. The Toughpad A1 is designed with enhanced security, long
battery life and device management in mind. The device can also be
used as a tool to optimize business processes as a cost effective
pen / paper replacement. The Toughpad A1 features a stylus and
active digitizer for signature capture and handwriting recognition
functionalities – ideal for sales, customer service and mobile
point-of-service environments.
“According to global research and advisory firm, IHL Group, more
than four million tablets will be used in retail by 2015,” said Ed
McCabe, National Sales Manager, Panasonic Solutions Company.
“Unfortunately, the vast majority of tablets on the market today
have been designed with consumer use in mind. Our Android-powered
Toughpad A1 is an exception to this rule. Since it is designed with
the durability, functionality and security needed for enterprise
use, it allows retailers to create a reliable, collaborative mobile
computing experience – customer facing, in the back office or
warehouse – that will improve business processes.”
Stratix Field Service, available from Stratix Corporation, is an
end-to-end field service application. The system provides back
office capabilities for asset management, inventory, dispatch and
scheduling, along with a mobile client that automates the data
collection process for field personnel. Stratix Field Service can
be used in a standalone fashion or integrated with existing back
office scheduling/ERP systems.
RBM Technologies offers a retail communications platform
designed for the Toughpad A1 that ensures store compliance with
fixture-based planograms and localized execution. RBM’s web-based
visual merchandising management solution cuts the cost of in-store
merchandising and promotions and drives revenue with localized
campaign planning and compliance reporting.
The Retail Mobile Manager from Data Capture Solutions integrates
with industry leading back-office applications for labor costing,
workforce management, merchandising, point-of-sale and warehouse
management. The Retail Mobile Manager can also be used by sales
associates to integrate multiple sales channels and provide fast
and easy price and inventory checks without leaving the customer’s
side.
MagTek is a leading manufacturer of electronic devices and
systems for the reliable issuance, reading, transmission and
security of cards, checks, PINs and other identification documents.
Its products for the Toughpad A1 include secure card readers, check
scanners, PIN pads and distributed credential issuing systems.
