Cornell-Mayo Introduces First Third-Party POS Solution For iPod Touch
Cornell-Mayo Associates (CMA) recently introduced Omniexpress, a new point-of-sale solution that delivers on the full potential of mobile POS in an innovative, pocket-sized handheld device. Omniexpress combines CMA's powerful Omnistore POS application, used by numerous Tier 1 retailers nationwide, with the sleek, intuitive interface of Apple's iPod touch for a radical breakthrough in mobile POS.
The lightweight mobile computing solution includes a scanner and magnetic stripe reader (MSR) at a price point that is less than half the cost of other mobile POS solutions – while providing a more user-friendly, familiar and engaging interface. Omniexpress is available today from Cornell-Mayo Associates.
Omniexpress revolutionizes mobile POS with features that include:
- Unprecedented ease of training and ease of use
- Lightweight ergonomic design – the complete solution measures 5" x .93" x 2.68", weighs 7.4 oz. (including iPod), and easily fits into a sales associate's hand
- Ability to accept credit and gift cards, then wirelessly print or email receipts
- Suspend a transaction to use other tenders, with recall at cash-wrap stations
- Full POS functionality identical to the capabilities of POS registers
- Runs same code as CMA's POS applications for cash registers and other devices
- Easy to implement
- Priced at less than half the cost of existing mobile POS solutions
Cornell-Mayo is the first to offer a fully functional POS application for a mobile Apple device. As a result of CMA's innovative software design, the company offers the only POS software that is natively portable to all major platforms today: Windows, Linux and Apple. CMA's software is truly cross-platform, with identical business logic and applications across the entire spectrum of available hardware and software platforms.
"CMA is proud to announce the retail industry's first third-party POS solution for the iPod touch," said Gene Cornell, president, Cornell-Mayo Associates.
