Research and Markets: Mobile POS: Reaching Escape Velocity - All Systems Go
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/csgr9g/mobile_pos)
has announced the addition of the "Mobile
POS: Reaching Escape Velocity - All Systems Go" report to their
offering.
Mobile in retail is now a $7.8 Billion business worldwide and one that
continues to grow rapidly
In fact, it is the single fastest moving trend in retail since Internet
was added to the stores. Mobile and the buzz about Mobile in Retail has
been increasing ever since Apple (News - Alert) began using it in their stores. Of the
various store functions that can be performed using Mobile technology,
one of the most interesting is that of Mobile POS. This report looks at
the current state of Mobile POS in North America, the adoption rates of
the various retail verticals, and the shipment and installed base
details by type of device (Rugged Handheld, Non-Rugged Handheld, and
Tablets).
We also provide forecasts for shipments and installed base of these
devices, as well as an estimate of the impact that these devices will
have on the use of traditional POS hardware. From the C-Level on down,
the buzz about Mobile in Retail has been increasing ever since Apple
began usingit in their stores. Retailers desire the same experience and
the same throughput, and one of the most attractive functions they see
is the use of handheld devices for Mobile POS. The use of Tablets (such
as the iPad) is especially pertinent, since double-digit growth in
shipments of these devices for Mobile POS use will be the norm for the
foreseeable future.
This report looks at the current state of Mobile POS, the adoption rates
of the various retail verticals, and the shipment and installed base
details by type of device (Rugged Handheld, Non-Rugged Handheld, and
Tablet). We also provide forecasts for shipments and installed base of
these devices, as well as an estimate of the impact that these devices
will have on the use of traditional POS hardware. We also provide some
operational insight on the issues that retailers face in incorporating
these devices into their stores (for instance, do you know about Momma
Duck Syndrome or the Teenager Syndrome?).
