Question of the Week: Is a Mobile POS System Worth the Investment?

Last week came news that luxury handbag retailer Coach has joined a growing number of retailers in deploying mobile point-of-sale (POS) technology in its factory stores. The thinking is that the added flexibility of being able to check out anywhere in its stores will lead to happier customers and in turn repeat customers, ultimately resulting in higher store sales. Will that be the case or is a mobile POS system not worth the investment? Let us know your thoughts on the future of payment technologies — both in-store and online — by going to Retail Online Integration's Facebook page to comment. We'd love to get a conversation going on this important topic. Thanks!
