The new product lineup includes the handheld computers EF500, EF500R, EF400 and SF550, and the tablets ST100 and RT100 - connecting everyone, from store managers and store associates to district managers and other field workers, to tools for voice and data applications that they need to communicate and effectively respond to planned and unplanned events throughout the day.
Support for multiple operating systems, including Windows 10 IoT Mobile Enterprise and Android 5.1 Lollipop, enables retailers and other enterprise users to protect their IT investments and migrate applications at their own pace.
“Our latest addition of handheld computers and tablets enables Bluebird to offer a total solution, lowering retailers’ total cost of ownership while improving the customer experience,” says Jangwon Lee, CEO of Bluebird. “Bluebird now has a solution for every user scenario both inside and outside the store’s walls, enabling mobile checkout and shorter response times to customer requests and other situations such as stock-outs and employee callouts.
