NRF: Magstar unveils mobile POS for linebusting

January 12, 2009

NEW YORK — Magstar Inc., a mid-size enterprise retail solution developer, announced its new Magstar Total Mobile POS solution, a lightweight POS handheld that will allow retailers to notably improve customer service levels while adeptly handling lane-busting, basic POS transactions and customer returns. Magstar Total Mobile POS will give retailers and their customers the freedom to operate throughout the store and in outside store areas via a secure wireless network.

Magstar Total Mobile POS is a portable touchscreen tool capable of real-time lookup of items, pricing and CRM information. At the same time, it is able to fully integrate all sales activity back to the feature-rich Magstar Total POS solution, which then automatically feeds the data to the Total Retail enterprise solution.

After scanning items in a shopping basket using Total Mobile POS, sales associates can provide shoppers with a quick receipt that, when presented to a cashier, recalls all items for quick checkout. When incorporating the mag-stripe/PIN attachment to the mobile device, customers using credit or debit cards can be processed immediately without the need to enter a checkout lane.
