iVend MobileMobilizing shop floor with Mobile POS

iVend Mobile works in two modes

Online Mode: In the online mode, the handheld device is connected in real time to the Store or HO server either over a WiFi connection or over the internet via 3G/4G/LTE. In the online mode the transaction validations like – special pricing, promotions, coupon based discounts get applied in real time with updated values. The transactions done at the mobile POS are also synchronized with the store server or the HO server in real time. Whereas the updates from iVend Enterprise to iVend Mobile get synchronized at the defined frequency.

Offline Mode: To operate in the offline mode, the device maintains a local copy of the master data. Transactions done in the offline mode get synchronized with the store server or the HO server whenever the connectivity is available. Synchronization can either be scheduled manually or automatically at the pre-scheduled time.

Product OverviewiVend Mobile POS is a POS on a handheld device. Operating on iOS devices and a select models of Andriod Tablets, it has far more to offer than just a POS functionality.

iVend Mobile is extremely well suited for both specialty retailers having many small format retail stores AND the large format departmental / super market stores. It allows small format retail chains to expand faster and open new outlets by significantly reducing time required to setup an IT infrastructure. This is achieved by iVend Mobile's ability to directly connect to iVend HO Server.

iVend Mobile enables a large format retail chains where a retailer would like to increase the checkout points without compromising on expensive real estate space. In this case iVend Mobile connects to the store server. This one feature of iVend Mobile gives all retailers an unprecedented leverage for a faster expansion without any compromises.

How does it work?iVend Mobile is made available from the Apple App Store or Google Play and gets installed on the mobile device like any other App. The configuration settings which include setup of the peripherals, preferred language, printers, etc. are done on the handheld device.

User can either specify a fixed time during the day when the synchronization is to be executed OR the user can specify the synchronization frequency at which the transactional data from iVend Mobile will get synchronized to the iVend Server. The transactional data gets synchronized in real time whereas the updates from iVend HO server get synchronized at the defined frequency.

iVend Mobile not only works when the device is connected to the store or the HO server over a WiFi or 3G/4G/LTE connection (on line mode) but is also designed to work even when there is no network connectivity (offline mode)

Business Benefits

Faster Checkouts: iVend Mobile enables significant savings in time for customers and cashiers by acting as a queue buster.

Faster Business Expansion: Small format retail chains can expand faster into new locations and geographies. Similarly the large format retail chains can also expand their checkout points, especially in the holiday shopping season by quickly deploying mobile check out points.

Affordable costs: With little to no investments in IT Infrastructure, iVend Mobile turns out to be an extremely affordable solution. The costs associated with procuring and maintaining retail peripherals for terminal POS are far more than those of running mobile POS.

Enhanced Customer Experience: The money value of time saved for the customers by busting queues is an important factor in enhanced customer satisfaction. In addition to the time saved at the checkout counter, a mobile POS gives an opportunity to the store executive to upsell items while interacting with the customers on the floor.

Decreased counter space and Increase Inventory Assortment: iVend Mobile negates the need to have bulky, space consuming POS terminals and in turn increase overall floor space. This savings in expensive real estate space allows the retailer to increase the inventory assortments displayed on the floor.
