• great customer service in-store with the help of intelligent sales associates;
• efficiency when purchasing with little or no wait times at checkout;
• accuracy of product information that’s available at their fingertips;
• personalized offers; and
• availability of goods with proper and connected inventory management.

In the past, we saw e-commerce dominate in these areas, pushing customers away from the in-store experience that requires a higher level of touch and decision making. And yet, each of these factors can be brought into a store using solutions and technologies that are available today.

Customer experience is key to retaining their loyalty. Figures from Capgemini’s Digital Transformation Institute show that two in three consumers see long lines at checkout counters as their main frustration, and 48 percent of brands were found to have a significant disconnect between consumers and retailers.

Retailers which have introduced solutions and technology that have addressed these issues have seen an improvement in customer satisfaction levels. By allowing customers to scan products for checkout using their mobile devices, letting associates use tablets/mobile phones to provide better information to consumers, checking stock availability before visiting, same-day delivery of products, and in-store personalized alerts, retailers can deliver increased engagement with customers. That added layer of satisfaction can match the efficiency of e-commerce. By focusing on operations that enable an enhanced shopping experience, retailers can build better connections with customers, creating repeat visits over and over again.

The DNA behind a business that can succeed in today’s environment includes a retailer that’s strongly integrating initiatives such as mobile payments and inventory management across all its channels. In addition, it’s critical that retailers train their sales associates to use in-store digital technology. This keeps them engaged and better equipped to enhance customers’ experiences. Furthermore, it enables associates to provide feedback and help deliver constant improvements to the in-store experience.

Take this blueprint and you can design a successful environment for a retail store. In today’s ecosystem, loyalty comes by showing how much you value the customer. Retailers that strive to improve customer satisfaction will continue to succeed. There’s no shortage of solutions to help improve the infrastructure for the right experience for each individual.

Andrew Graham, founder and president of Infinite Peripherals in Elk Grove Village, shows an inventory scanner.

Today, the 80-employee company develops and sells printers, bar code and credit card scanners, and other devices that connect to Apple iPhones, iPads, iPods and other mobile devices for the retail, logistics, delivery and medical industries, as well as small businesses. IPC's portfolio accounts for more than $50 million in annual sales, according to Graham, IPC's founder and president.

While there are other, much bigger companies that sell mobile point-of-sale devices, printers, inventory scanners and other peripherals, IPC's products are built to connect and adapt to consumer devices like the iPhone, which Graham says makes them a more cost-effective alternative to a business owner.

"We're adapting Apple for enterprise use," he said. "If you can adapt a consumer Apple device to an enterprise, then the enterprise gets the advantage of the constantly changing technology, and they are already used to the interface.

Dung Lam: Enterprise technology means any technology that is used company-wide to enable the company to do business. Whether this is to improve a process, augment a workflow or facilitate visibility, enterprise technologies all impact the business in one valuable way or the other. 

MP: What are some tools or software that you use regularly to manage innovation for your company or product?

DL: Innovation within our organization occurs in a number of different ways. Innovation can be organic, collective through discussion and debate or based on customer feedback and gaps we see in the market. A lot of this collaboration happens through multiple, different forms of communication. Therefore, any tool that enables us to communicate more effectively and efficiently helps us innovate. Some of the applications we use include WebEx, GlobalMeet, Oovoo, Scrum, Salesforce.com and Dropbox. 

MP: What questions should a company be asking themselves before seeking out new technologies to fulfill selective IT solutions?

DL: Companies should ask themselves several questions before they seek out a new technology to solve their challenges. First, what is driving the need to look for a solution? Is the need impacting business, and does the company have the most effective resources to solve that problem?

If there is a real business need, a company must start building the requirements so that the solution addresses a set of defined parameters instead of a moving target. Once the foundation of a business-impacting need is defined, along with its requirements, the company then can start its evaluation process of vendors and solutions. 

MP: Can you describe a situation when you have seen first-hand the impact that innovative technology can have on a firm?

DL: I’ve seen many innovative technologies be quite impactful to organizations of all sizes. We helped changed the way a nonprofit organization tracked and distributed resources and food to local villagers. With technology, what once took 20 people and two weeks was reduced to five people and no more than three days.

IPC also transformed the way one airline provided customer service. Passengers formerly were known as a seat number, but with mobile technology, flight attendants now can address passengers by name, understand their airline status, provide upgrades on the fly and offer travelers their favorite beverage every time they fly.

MP: What is an emerging industry initiative or trend that really excites you? One that frightens you?

DL: The emergence of wearable technologies excites me. As technology and manufacturing improves, products will get smaller and closer to the user. We used to use a computer at work, then brought it home when it mobilized with laptops. With smartphones, we have computers in our hands and now with smart watches, we have capabilities on our wrists 24/7.

Data security keeps everyone up at night. Technology that is smaller and closer to the user enables opportunists to find ways to access that data, which is typically more personal and inflicts more anxiety when lost. 

Here’s a glimpse of what retailers experienced during the recent five-day span:

• The NRF 2015 Thanksgiving Weekend Survey found that 56.7 percent of smartphone owners used their device to research products, make purchases, check in-store availability of items, and to conduct other mobile shopping activities. Some 57.7 percent of tablet owners used their device to search for holiday deals and make purchases.
• Adobe said that mobile devices accounted for 49 percent of online shopping visits on Cyber Monday, but reported fewer actual purchases from those devices. Smartphones accounted for $313 million in purchases on Cyber Monday. Consumers purchased $205 million via iPhones and $107 million via Android. The large discrepancy between the platforms supports the argument that Apple users are more affluent consumers.
• Adobe estimates that consumers spent more than $11 billion in online sales for the five-day period. That’s an increase of 15 percent from 2014.
• IBM said that while online sales slowed on Cyber Monday because consumers started shopping over the weekend, smartphones accounted for 15 percent of Monday's purchases. Adobe said that retailers sold a little over $3 billion in goods on Cyber Monday.

What does this all mean?

1. The mobile shopper's rise to prominence puts retailers under pressure to provide a purchasing experience that comes across as intuitive to consumers using smartphones and tablets. Executives who spoke at the recent Money 20/20 conference in Las Vegas hammered this point home across many panel discussions. The message was this: If you don't have a coherent mobile strategy in place right now, you might as well close up shop today.
2. Consumers who browse for deals on their mobile devices don’t necessarily purchase them from a smartphone or tablet. Retailers still have an opportunity to lure consumers into their physical locations. But that's a double-edged sword because showrooming is alive and well with consumers despite some retailers' willingness to price match on the spot. Consumers love to comparison shop on the go. Most won't think twice about making a two-minute walk across the street to save $5 at a different store.
3. Adobe predicts that shoppers will spend almost $1 billion per day online until Christmas. Retailers still have time to tweak their mobile strategies.

The consumer's shopping experience now more than ever starts on a mobile device. Even if a consumer never intends to make a purchase from the device, they're using the mobile Web at least to comparison shop. The next step for retailers and payments providers is to make the mobile checkout process easier. We could see even greater gains next year in mobile purchases as a result.

The increased use of mobile devices has created the problem of how to keep them all charged and synchronised with the same data. Using the PP15S, you are able to simultaneously manage up to 15 devices. Through ChaSync, our free app, you are able to simultaneously charge and sync the devices rather than having to choose and switch between charging mode and sync mode. This minimises the complexity of operation while reducing the time which the device has to be attached to the cable. ChaSync also works with older tablets such as the iPad 1/2.

The PP15S unit incorporates a future proof design, when your current mobile devices are upgraded or new ones purchased, they will still function normally when plugged in. This is managed through firmware updates which are available through our free updater app available at cambrionix.com.

The PP15S also supports our LiveView app which allows you to control and monitor the PP15S remotely. Monitor parameters such as port status, power consumption, current, voltage, time on charge, security and temperature.

Applications:

• Retail fixtures where tablet devices are used as an integral part of the sales & marketing process (for example: digital advertising, in-store entertainment, information kiosks or simply charging your display devices).
• Charge & sync cart/case designers who wish to enter this rapidly expanding market with a pre-certified, class-leading product.
• Defence, security and wearable camera companies who wish to offer a large scale charging and data transfer product to complement their existing technology.
• Mobile device OEMs who require a fully configurable, controllable, scriptable appliance to assist with large scale device testing. 
The P15S is also available in an 8 port variant, the PP8S, perfect for smaller deployments! 

United Airlines and United Express operate an average of nearly 5,000 flights a day to 362 airports across six continents. On board, their flight attendants had been using a mobility device with limited functionality: it could accept payments, but it could not perform other important functions like viewing the seating chart and checking flight delays. The device’s inability to adapt to other needs meant lost opportunities for increased efficiency and elevated customer service.

In a push to upgrade its mobility operations at the end of 2014, United provided Apple® iPhone® 6 Plus devices to its 22,000 flight attendants. Once equipped with the iPhone 6 Plus, United contacted several companies seeking a mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) device compatible with the iPhone 6 Plus. Unfortunately, there were very few commercial adaptations for the new 6 Plus available in the market that met United’s needs.

Solution

As the leader in enterprise mobility solutions, Infinite Peripherals (IPC) was ready with a powerful commercial adaptation for the iPhone 6 Plus: the Infinea Tab M. IPC was also the only company that could provide a fully PCI-SRED certified mag-stripe version within United’s accelerated timeline.

United already had an application ready to go that performed transactions and other airline specific functions. However, United deferred to IPC’s software expertise and asked them to create an additional custom application to ensure extra credit card security for protecting customer information.

IP completed the tailor-made United solution with a sleek custom case featuring their brand colors and identity, with a strategically placed ergonomic hand strap for ease and comfort. In all, Infinite Peripherals responded quickly and accurately to United’s desire for a mutually better experience for their employees and their customers.
