Mobile PoS aims to increase staff productivity, reduces errors, uplifts order values and makes for happier customers

Mobile PoS aims to increase staff productivity, reduces errors, uplifts order values and makes for happier customers

 

Global manufacturer of PC-based touchscreen electronic point-of-sale (EPoS) tills, J2 Retail Systems, has entered the handheld PoS market with a new touchscreen unit, the J2 Wave.

 

The handheld, which was designed in-house is aimed at applications within a number of sectors and industries including retail, medical and hospitality.

 

In the hospitality sector, the manufacturer said the device would mobilise bar, club and restaurant staff to be wherever their customers are, giving them fast and personal service by taking orders anywhere, inside or outside.

 

With the addition of a scanner, the J2 Wave can also be used for applications in the retail sector, including for stock control purposes.

 

Adding application versatility

 

J2’s co-founder and managing director, Moray Boyd, said: “The J2 Wave sets a new standard for mobile solutions in the often harsh environments of hospitality and retail. This lightweight handheld delivers unmatched price performance for any open architecture PoS application and has been very warmly welcomed by our partners and their clients.”

 

Malcolm White of J2 solutions partner, ICR Systems, added: “We’ve looked at a number of handhelds in the past and they were never perfect. With the J2 Wave, we’ve got a great blend of all the positive points of handhelds. It’s eliminated all the negative points. When I gave it to my client to trial, I said ‘get used to it, as you won’t want to give it back,’ and I was right. That client is now equipping staff with J2 Waves in his busy bar and restaurant business and he’s increasing his turnover.”

 

Boyd concluded: “The J2 Wave is cost-effective to buy and gives a rapid return on investment. It increases staff productivity through faster and virtually error-free order-taking, and it’s showing its worth too in terms of better-served customers who spend more.”
