One of the hottest topics at this year’s National Retail Federation conference was mobile point of sale. Whether offering customers the convenience of self-checkout or providing a higher level of personal service, it appears the days of lining up at the cash wrap are numbered.
I caught up with the team at Global Bay, a pioneer in the field of mobile P.O.S. for a first-hand look at their mobile solution. Some of you may remember Global Bay for their unassuming but impressive YouTube product demo about a year ago, in which they convert an iPod touch into a working retail checkout.
In the video below, I talk with Global Bay Managing Director Justin Coward about the trend towards cutting the cord on P.O.S. and get a demonstration of some of the new product innovations they’re bringing to the market.
