Wincor Nixdorf has chosen its trade show to launch a new tablet-based BEETLE mobile POS system. The solution is designed to meet the requirements of international retail companies who plan to enhance their customer engagement with mobile POS capabilities.

Best of both worlds: The BEETLE mobile POS solution offers the flexibility and scalability to be used either as a queue buster, taking mobile payments or offering customer information on the shop floor, or linked to back office systems to carry out admin tasks such as stock taking or inventory ordering. The solution has also the flexibility to operate as a fully functioning stationary POS terminal, when locked into its purpose-built docking unit and POS Device Hub. All relevant interfaces are available to connect the tablet with cash drawer, barcode scanner, receipt printer, customer display, checkout scale or any other device.

The tablet will be available in 8.3" and 10" format, is designed specifically for the retail environment and runs on both Windows 8.1 as well as Android platforms. It is a custom development by Aava Mobile, offering high performance based on the latest Intel Atom processor. The tablet integrates state-of-the-art card acceptance technology that support both magnetic strip and chip and pin transactions to facilitate compliance with EMV and PCI requirements for mobile payment transactions on the floor.

Wincor Nixdorf has extended and bundled its portfolio of solutions for processing cashless payment transactions. The newly released Aevi solution portfolio represents the culmination of all Wincor Nixdorf's experience and know-how in the area of cashless payment transaction processing and jointly with the newly released BEETLE mobile POS solution, Wincor Nixdorf provides an End-to-End mobile POS solution for larger retailers.

"With the new BEETLE mobile POS solution, Wincor Nixdorf offers retailers a future-proven investment in mobile applications. Together with our TP.net application suite the solution provides retail companies with an opportunity to offer customers a truly consistent and attractive shopping experience across all channels - whether it is online purchases in the store, the search for products in stock, detailed product information or payment directly on the sales floor," said Reinhard Meier, Head of Productline POS at Wincor Nixdorf, noting that the solution has been developed in collaboration with large retail companies. "The partnership with retailers, Wincor Nixdorf's global know-how in the multinational retail sector and the cooperation with competent partners guarantee high performance and investment security."
