Honeywell has introduced Captuvo SL62 enterprise sled, an encasement that transforms an Apple iPad mini into a customer engagement tool, in the Asian retail market recently.
Building off Honeywell’s successful Captuvo line, which includes the SL22 and SL42 encasements for fifth generation iPod touch and iPhone 5 devices, the SL62 helps employees look up inventory, scan barcodes and securely process payments, increasing customer engagement and improving mobile point-of-sale.
It gives associates access to transaction data via the Web or mobile apps, providing an opportunity to upsell products and services and keep customers more engaged in the buying process.
Honeywell said the Captuvo SL62 is designed for all versions of the iPad mini, which offers a larger screen size than the iPod touch or iPhones. An optional magnetic stripe reader allows associates to checkout customers on the spot, whether in a retail stores or restaurants.
“Captuvo SL62 was designed especially for the retail and food service industry to help store employees have the flexibility to make the shopping or dining experience as convenient and easy as possible for customers,” said Jay Cho, Sales Director, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility Asia. “It allows employees to have technology at their fingertips at all times so they can quickly provide accurate store or product details, as well as finalize a sale anywhere in store and support BYOD applications during peak periods.”
The Captuvo SL62 can also improve the gift registry process for brick-and-mortar retailers as shoppers can use the device to scan products, look up information and reviews and add products to a registry as they walk the store.
