How to Choose Handheld Terminals for Supermarket

With the development of Internet of Things technology and the violent impact of e-commerce, traditional physical retail enterprises are facing a severe test of change. How to effectively improve the efficiency of enterprises, reduce operating costs, improve service levels has become a major problem facing the physical retail industry dominated by business. Looking at the status of market development, information access has become the bottleneck of retail enterprises.

 At present, staff in many large shopping malls and supermarkets use the handheld terminal to order, receive goods, sort goods, inventory, inventory inquiry, etc., which realizes the information application and management of links in shopping malls and supermarkets. The transformation of information technology has greatly improved work efficiency, significantly reduced corporate costs, and improved customer satisfaction and store image. Then, how should we choose handheld terminals? Specifically, we can consider the following aspects.
 
  • Data collection function  
Handheld terminals usually perform flows of ordering, receiving, shopping guide, inquiring, inventory, etc. The functional choices are mainly 1D/2D barcode scanning and RFID reading and writing, which meets needs of store management daily. For bulk cargo management, you can also customize UHF RFID data acquisition function, which can significantly help improve the efficiency of inventory.
 
  • Data communication methods
Handheld terminals usually support 4G, WIFI and Bluetooth communication modes, which can be customized according to the actual communication and data transmission application requirements. You can transmit data via 4G or WiFi wireless network, or transmit data information through Bluetooth, which can meet the needs of use.
 
  • Design and ease of operation 
It is necessary to directly communicate and display to customers in retail. A beautiful and fashionable external design can often leave a good impression on customers. Therefore, the design should be outstanding and generous. At the same time, in order to facilitate the operation, we should also consider the size, weight and pistol grip of the terminal, which should be light and portable, and comfortable to hold.
 
  • Protective performance
 
The protective performance of the handheld terminal can demonstrate the adaptability of the handheld terminal to harsh environments. We can learn from the IP level of the handheld terminals. The higher the IP rating, the higher the waterproof, dustproof, anti-aging and wear resistance of the handheld terminal, and the application environment that can be adapted is more extensive.

 
  • Price
We can consider the budget of the enterprise and the actual application needs. The world-class brands such as zebra and Honeywell are of high quality, but the price is especially expensive. The domestic handheld terminal brand represented by Shenzhen (CHAINWAY) is comparable to the international first-class brand in terms of performance, and has great advantages in price. It is time to consider the actual needs.
