Driving Revenue with Mobile Sales Enablement

Windows-enabled tablets can be a major component of a mobile sales enablement program. Because they run a full version of Windows, these devices offer the functionality of a laptop in a lighter, more portable package. Using a Windows-enabled tablet, salespeople can easily access:

• Rich-media marketing materials, maximizing the effectiveness of branded marketing resources

• CPQ (Configure-Price-Quote) software, eliminating barriers between the customer and the decision to buy

• Contact lists, prospect insights, and CRM software

Increasing Efficiency and Productivity

Tablets running Windows 8.1 are multi-use devices. In addition to serving as a mobile Point of Sale, mobile devices can increase efficiency and productivity across an entire business. Read on to see how one restaurant gets the most out of their Windows-enabled tablets.


The Habit Burger Grill was experiencing growing pains as their franchise expanded. Lines were getting longer inside the restaurant, at the drive-through, and even outside their fleet of food trucks. The Habit’s leadership decided to deploy Windows-enabled tablets as mobile Point of Sale devices.

The Habit’s employees were able to take orders while customers were standing in line, increasing order efficiency by 30-40%.

Using the mobile POS in the drive-through lane enabled The Habit’s employees to beat their existing sales record by 17%.

With the success of the mobile POS program, Habit Burger started restructuring operations to take advantage of the tablet’s many other capabilities. Now they use the tablets to enable:

• Digital onboarding, providing new employees with interactive self-led training

• Access to paycheck and benefits information, which eases the administration load

• Paperless inventory control, reducing inventory time by 20%

• Virtual monitoring of franchise compliance in lieu of costly field audits

Saving Millions in Operating Costs

When scanning and storage technology became widely available for businesses, it seemed the dream of a paperless office was about to come true. Decades later, companies in the U.S. still spend $8 billion managing paper every year.

The new generation of Windows-enabled tablets finally has the computing power, security, and flexibility to replace the pounds of paper businesses go through every year.

Here’s how one airline saved millions by simply ditching their paper field manuals.

Saving Millions in Operating Cost

Delta Airlines pilots used to carry a 40-lb flight bag full of manuals and procedures.

For every change in procedure, Delta had to print new documentation for 11,000 flight bags.

Delta’s 11,000 flight bags weigh 440,000 pounds all together, as much as one ofthe planes in their fleet.

Saving Millions in Operating Cost

Delta swapped its flight bag for a new “electronic flight bag:” a Wi-Fi enabled tablet PC.

The new electronic flight bag weighs less than a pound.

It now contains living documents, instantly updateable as conditions change on the ground.

Delta’s affordable innovation saved them an estimated 1.2 million gallons of fuel per year.
