In the African market, mobile technology reigns supreme. Now retailers across the continent can access mobile Point Of Sale (POS) technology through Star's all-in-one Bluetooth printer and cash drawer mobile point of purchase solution, available from the Printer Distribution Company (PDC).

Frikkie Koegelenberg, CCO of PDC, says that the mobile point of purchase solution provides outstanding connectivity and a compact design, while intuitive functionality and simple integration define Star's unique solution - mPOP.

"mPOP works with all major operating systems including Apple iOS, Android and Windows to provide users with a versatile solution that is ready to work with a chosen mobile, software and card payment system. Bluetooth connectivity results in only one mains cable being required for full operation while the mPOP LED display will quickly determine pairing status as well as any issues such as paper out, etc. With 4 USB ports, additional tablet, phone, scanner, etc charging is available from the one cable," he explains.

The lightweight and portable solution is just 10cm high and 30cm wide, and the mPOP with front feed receipting can easily be secured under the counter for enhanced space-saving. mPOP can be purchased with a plug and play scanner or this can be added as a later option.

"Simple and stylish, mPOP has a sleek design that will complement any counter top. With intuitive top loading and easy front feed as well as a partial cut guillotine, the reliable thermal printer automatically cuts a 58mm wide receipt. The multiple functions and connectivity associated with mPOP make processing customer transactions smooth and effortless for a range of outlets," Koegelenberg concludes.
