Intuitive and secure commerce experience
The retail industry is driven by human interaction. It is therefore particularly important that deployed software is intuitive and user-friendly. Reliable and secure devices ensure a smooth shopping and payment experience for consumers. To take care of that, retailers must be able to remotely monitor and maintain their device fleets through online services.
Use cases for Android in retail
The use cases for Android in retail are diverse and constantly evolving due to digitization initiatives and innovative shopping solutions. Most of emteria’s customers create, scale and operate the following type of devices:
POS system
The point-of-sale system is the device with which a retailer initiates payment for goods or services. Especially cloud-based POS systems accelerate the use of Android, the most user-friendly OS.
Kiosk terminals
Kiosks are stand-alone systems that enable a purchase right away or give guidance or directions e.g., at airports or in large retail outlets.
Self-checkout systems
Self-checkout systems are used in high-frequented retail stores like supermarkets and combine the concept of POS and kiosk solutions.
