Mobile device payment offers a way to inexpensively change the way your business develops. By removing the costly register systems and switching everything over to mobile units you free up space in the store that otherwise would have been taken up by registers, lines, and “in a hurry” Customers.

Not a moment is wasted to build an excellent customer relationship that keeps that customer coming back every time. Welcome to The Mobile Sales Tablet. In This proposal we will be discussing...

In part, shoppers have what some industry experts refer to as “frugality fatigue” — they are simply tired of not spending. That said, they are not likely to return to frivolous spending. Today’s shoppers are much more conscious of where every penny is going; they are looking for deals and sales on the products they desire. With the growth of mobile technology and the ability to find information on products and pricing in real time, consumers are better educated and are not willing to settle, or make as many impulse purchases. Recent BIGresearch data shows that consumers are more focused on “needs” than...

...“Role of IT Systems in Virtual Stores Implementation” Table of Contents Business Objective 3 The Business Model 3 IT landscape for this Business 4 1. IT System for Cloud based Mobile Payments 5 2. IT System for Vendor Management Software 6 3. IT system for Inventory Management/ Logistics 7 4. IT system for Business Intelligence / Analytics 8 Business Objective Keeping in mind that in future we could find stores where shoppers can browse the shelves in virtual reality, we came up with an idea for a startup which could give the future shoppers a rich digital shopping experience on the go. Internet of things will change how we shop, as well as how products are presented to us. As a pilot project we plan to set up “Virtual Grocery Store” in locations like metro stations where people can literally do their grocery shopping while waiting for trains. Taking an hour a week for grocery shopping can be a real drag for people residing in metro cities. So we devise a way to have the store come to people. The technology will give shoppers the power to make better buying decisions and eliminate some shopping irritations. The Business Model The walls are plastered with posters that resemble the aisles and shelves of a supermarket. They’re lined from top to bottom with the products you’d normally see while grocery shopping. The only difference is that you can’t just grab the product and check out. The groceries each have a QR code which the shopper scans...

...tactics and an unbeatable inventory of books. Today, B&N finds its role reversed as the company fights a fierce battle to survive in the inevitable era of e-books. Booksellers were one of the many industries disrupted by the Internet and, more specifically, the rise of e-books and e-readers. B&N hopes to change its business model to adapt to this new environment before it suffers a similar fate as many of its competitors, like Borders, B. Dalton, and Crown Books, or their peers in other industries, like Blockbuster, Circuit City, and Eastman Kodak. More than ever, consumers are reading books on electronic gadgets—e-readers, iPods, tablets, and PCs—instead of physical books. Although B&N still depends on its physical, brick-and-mortar stores to drive its business (B&N operates 691 bookstores in 50 states, as well as 641 college bookstores), the company has thrown its energies behind development and marketing of the Nook series of e-readers and tablets. Once simply a bookseller, B&N now styles itself as a seller of e-books, devices to read them on, and apps that enhance the reading experience. The company has had success gaining market share, but at a steep cost, and to stay afloat, it will need to contend with increased competition from Amazon, Apple, and Google—not exactly feeble opposition. B&N has a market capitalization of $1 billion. Amazon, B&N’s current top competitor, has a market capitalization of $98 billion. How can B&N compete against these tech titans? The...

...Assignment 1: Inventory Management Systems Pedro Pereira Strayer University CIS 210 Systems Analysis And Development Instructor: Rick McMaster November 2, 2015 Assignment 1: Inventory Management Systems There is nothing more frustrating than going to a store to purchase a product to find out that they are out of stock. This not only generates frustration for customers but it is a missed opportunity for the retailer to make a sale and earn a profit. Lack of an effective inventory management system can lead to business owners to buy too much or not enough which in both occasions with lead to losses. Inventory management systems ensure that customers always have enough merchandise and that retailers have the sufficient goods to be sold in a determined timespan. Some companies such as Walmart have really excelled with its inventory management systems as they offer a just in time policy where suppliers are notified when the company is about to be out of stock of certain goods. This allows Walmart to save money on having a more robust inventory and the company is able to negotiate prices better with its suppliers. However, having an efficient inventory management system is crucial for all types of business, whether they are large or small. To better illustrate that, my family and I usually have dinners together on Sundays when we caught up about any recent updates in everyone’s lives. Recently, my sister told the family that she was experiencing a little bit of trouble at...

...mobility for the banking industry Tech trends 2011 In some industries, companies can pick and choose how they want to respond to new mobile opportunities. In banking, it is not a matter of choice. Not only do consumers expect a steady increase in the number of banking services they can access from mobile devices (not to mention a complementary rise in the quality of their mobile experiences), merchants are moving just as quickly to keep up. That means they’re looking for new ways for customers to buy and pay. With phones? Tablets? Using Debit? Credit? All of the above? As a result, financial institutions should “think outside the bank” when it comes to mobility. Regardless of industry, the march toward mobility is staggering in sheer scale (5 billion subscribers by December 20101) and in its breadth of adoption — crossing age groups, economic classes, and geographies. Consumer interest in smartphones, tablets, and untraditional connected devices such as set-top boxes, telematics, video games, and embedded appliances is growing faster than with any other product segment, with a projected growth of 36% in the coming year2. Connectivity is nearly ubiquitous with today’s mobile computing infrastructure and will only improve with the widespread rollout of 4G, LTE, and WiMAX in primary markets, and the launch of 3G in India3. Just as important, the mobile application (app) movement is fully underway, as traditional telephone service takes a back seat to messaging, e-mail, media, social...

...Operations Management in Best Buy I have been employed with Best Buy Mobile, which is the cell phone part of Best Buy. We are a part of Best Buy but we do not participate in how the rest of the store is run. There are several best buy mobile standalone stores all over the country. I have been a part of the mobile team for a little bit over 2 years and would like to share my knowledge with you on how the business is run. I will touch on subjects from the book and link it to my job. Well it wouldn’t be right to start my paper off without telling you what operation management is. Operation management is the design, execution, and control of operations that convert resources into desired goods and services and implement a company’s business strategy. The first topic I would like to talk about is forecasting. Forecasting is the process by which companies and organizations analyze data and graphs to determine how to proceed with business decisions in the future. To link this up to best buy mobile. I would like to talk about the iPhone (4) launch for verizon.IT was February of 2011. The company was forecasting a big day. Some business decisions BestBuy had to make was how many iPhones to order. Don’t want to order too little and lose business. With apple products I have learned you can’t over stock your inventory. APPLE sells itself! Remember it like it was yesterday. We opened the store 2 hours early thinking the place was going to be rocking. We had three Verizon...
