I love this and the position is that the Subway is now the Store and the mobile becomes your shopping cart, and checkout tool. Instead of staff to manage a store, you have staff to manage a distribution center servicing many more stores.

“We had several goals in mind with our solution in terms of functionality but we need to make sure a few key criteria were met- First, it had to support our brand image – we are a youth focused retailer and we need to be using the latest and greatest devices to assist customers- Second … we wanted real functionality and leverage our current systems – in this case our m-commerce platform from Usablenet We wanted something easy to manage and update without breaking the bank – so Having this be cost-effective and easy to try went hand in hand We did not want a long development cycle … we wanted to get this up and runnign quicklyFinally - As this was our maiden effort on tablets we wanted to make sure we could make changes and have updates to the app quiclly, track results and improve as we rolled this out more widelyMost importantly, with any project we need to make sure our associates see the benefit, like to use it and it generates ROI for us to go back to our execs and say ‘’ here is why it succeeded”
– We a native app – not a browser app. This is an important distinction – since all the app content in synched down each night it does not tax our network and offers the rich user interface you expect from apple. We designed and branded the app and developed a work flow for our store associates to work with our customers – anywhere in the store. We provide product information, look books – which are very successful and ability to guide and assist the customer. Multiple ways to drive to a product as well as integration to social media and ability to use QR codes. QR codes provide a really great interaction with mobile phones in the app as you can let customers scan the iPad w/ their phones.BEST OF ALL – if we don’t have the product in the store, we can link to our m-commerce app page ford that product and complete the sale right there – no heavy integration required – just leverage our Usablenet deployment! So we are really achieving multi-channel selling – allowing for purchase and direct ship from the store floor – and mobile provides the right tool for doing this. . Before we had this ipad solution – if we didn’t have a size or color of a product, we would have to take the customer up to the POS and tie up a machine and log in to complete the sale. We trackthis and know that we actually were driving a fair bit of transactions through e-commerce generated in the store… Our iPad solution generates tangible ROI –and we don’t clog up the register and we can complete the sale from anywhere in the store
We rolled this out to 300 stores initially and expect to have 400 stores by holiday and all stores by next year… And we had set firm goals and metric for project success.The users liked it and in fact want more ipads – they liked having the info and tool available to work with customers. One of the creative things we came up as we started this process was that we realized was the ability to push out and manage all sorts of content to device -- .pdfs, videos and the like – and we thought perhaps it could help us in our store ops… and so we developed a second app for use after hours for pushing out training content and materials – so now store associates can access that – as well as access some of our web-based portal apps for productivity. Most importantly was to generate a true ROI – and to track that closely – as in any project that is paramount. We generate ROI by providing the multi-channel selling in case of product not being in the store – and thru our E-Comm can track it back to the store. We saw the number of transactions jump considerably on store-based e-commerce transactions. On top of that the savings from printing and distributing content for our store ops went away with the Global Bay tool kit a very big saving indeed.
