Retail

Shoppers have more options than ever. Merchants have more competition than ever before. In fact, at least one of your competitors is probably within walking distance of your location. Every day is a battle for the heart and mind of the customer. Because of this, the most crucial daily requirement for any store is to provide the customer with the best possible shopping experience. Everything else, as important as it may be, is a distraction from that primary goal.

The problem is that there are never enough employees in the store at any given time to help customers and dress up the store, check inventory, execute product transfers, process returns, stock shelves, prepare for sales, conduct cycle counts, return damaged and slow-selling product to the DC, handle a multitude of corporate-dictated tasks and deal effectively with a hundred other critical details. Every minute you can save helps you win that battle for the customer's business.

How does that translate to operations? It simply means that store employees have to work smarter and complete their tasks faster. Mobilizing the retail workforce is a proven way to accomplish that. The use of rugged mobile computers enables store managers and associates to do their jobs with a level of speed and accuracy that's impossible to achieve using paper-based manual processes.

LXE has supplied mobile computers and wireless networks to retail organizations for decades, from grocery to electronics, from department store chains to convenience store chains. Our MX8 handheld wireless computer is the ideal solution for retail stores. It's rugged, easy to use and budget-friendly. More importantly, it measures a mere 7.6” long and weighs less than 13 ounces with battery and several options.

The MX8's bright touch-screen and backlit keys improve visibility in less-than-optimum lighting conditions. Scanning options include standard range laser scanners and 1D and 2D imagers. The MX8 mobile computer comes standard with an IEEE 802.11b/g radio and Bluetooth technology, uses the most powerful CPU in its class and runs on Windows® CE 5.0 Professional. LXE also achieved exceptional battery performance with the MX8 terminal, tested at 10+ hours of intensive operation on a single charge.

In the hands of your store employees, the MX8 is productivity in a compact package. For more information on the MX8, click here to take a virtual tour right now!
