Pyramid’s polytouch® 32 passport range of interactive kiosk solutions can be used for a variety of application areas such as product presentations, self-checkouts and information terminals. The modularity and flexible design of the devices, with the best in touch technology, makes them an ideal complement for Panasonic’s range of retail POS and Toughpad tablet and handheld devices.

Robert Blowers, General Manager of Engineering and Project Management at Panasonic Computer Product Solutions Europe said: “With customers rapidly changing their buyer behaviour to use multiple shopping channels during purchases, including traditional stores, mobile devices, online and the growing trend in self-service, new technology solutions are required to facilitate this omni-channel retail era. The combination of Toughbook mobile devices and POS solutions, along with the complimentary products from Pyramid enables retailers to deliver customers and staff an effective, easy-to-use and consistent technology experience whether it’s taking orders on the move, serving at a till or self-serving at a kiosk in store.”

Graeme Derby, UK Country Manager for Pyramid Computer, added: “We share a design and service philosophy with Panasonic that make us ideal business solution partners. We too have designed and engineered our products to provide business customers with the flexibility to exactly match their needs. For example, our solutions can be tailored to include options such as payment systems, label and ticket printers, barcode scanners and fingerprint readers. We can also deliver fully customised devices with signage and RAL colours to meet a customer’s needs.”

Alongside the retail industry, Panasonic and Pyramid also see business opportunities for their solutions for customers in the hospitality, post / logistics, health and aviation industries with the increasing need for self-service check-in and check-out systems and ticketing solutions.

Re-thinking retail
Panasonic’s rugged Toughpad tablets and point-of-sale (POS) workstations take multifunctional performance way beyond that of standard consumer devices. Their ability to perform in every environment – in store or dining areas, outdoors and in warehouses – makes them the perfect tool for work in all retail applications.

Critically, they help retailers deliver the omni-channel customer experience that sets successful businesses apart today. Panasonic equips retail managers and staff with reliable and tailored devices with high-visibility displays that are ideal for order taking. The variety of tablet and handheld devices enable retail staff access to real-time information, allowing them to provide customers with in-depth product details and to maximise upsell opportunities at the point of service. The rugged form factors mean the devices are sturdy but lightweight and mobile enough for store operations and warehouse usage. The long battery life and integrated barcode readers and payment systems, along with full Windows OS, mean retailers can manage multiple applications from a single device.
