Consumers are looking for a shopping experience that is quick, easy, and valuable. As a result, smart retailers are doing everything possible to shop for new technologies, specifically mobile computers and point of sale (POS) terminals, to add value to the brick-and-mortar shopping experience.

With these devices, retailers can effectively make sales to customers and ultimately provide more value. If you're a retailer working towards the overall success of your organization, here are the three main reasons why you should shop for rugged mobile computers and POS terminals:

1. Line-busting

When sales associates are equipped with rugged mobile computers and POS terminals, customers can "skip the line". In other words, they can make a purchase right from the sales floor without having to stand in an unnecessarily long line. Employees can not only reduce congestion at the checkout counter but also check out customers at the point of purchase.

In doing so, a retail store can improve its customer service. With more associates on the sales floor, more customers' questions can be answered. The goal is to provide customers with an in-store experience that is more valuable than shopping online.

2. Increased Sales

Every retailer’s target is to drive sales while providing a positive customer experience.  Rugged mobile devices and POS terminals help retail professionals to reach this goal. For example, devices like bar-codes and RFID scanners let sales associates check stock and perform price look-ups. POS terminals, credit card readers and signature capture terminals enable transactions from anywhere in the store.

Equip your workers with these tools to ensure they have the necessary resources on hand to help any customer in your store. At the tap of a finger, they can receive payments from customers anywhere in the store.

Also, with these devices, your staff members can pull up inventory information, order an out-of-stock item, and allow the customer to choose whether they want an in-store or home address delivery, bringing flexibility to sales.

3. Improved Customer Service

Retailers can leverage their rugged mobile computers and POS terminals as a brand advocate or effective tool to increase the shopper’s experience. With these devices, not only will you have the resources on hand to avoid situations that result in angry and impatient customers; you’ll also be equipped to impress customers and ensure that they pay you another visit in the near future.

Some mobile POS devices allow employees to provide customers with more information, such as sizing charts, inventory availability, and shipment schedules. The more customers can make more personalized connections with sales associates, the better they can understand your mission, message, and products. You can help them establish an even stronger and better relationship with your brick-and-mortar store than when they shop online.

Besides, many customers might feel that waiting until they reach the checkout counter to ask their questions isn't worth waiting. So in cases where customers have questions, they won't have to wait until they get to the counter; they can simply ask a mobile employee. Overall, the increased attention sales associates can provide to customers makes their shopping experience easier, quicker, more enjoyable, and more valuable.

Wrapping Up

As a retailer, you can't afford to compromise when it comes to mobile devices. They are means by which your workers can confidently take the best action to keep customers happy, prevent losses, and protect revenue.
