COVENTRY, U.K. — Bass Pro Shops is enaging the services of PCMS for a pilot of mobile sales devices.
In a move to reduce customer wait time, Bass Pro will launch the system in two phases.The first phase, which starts this month, will incorporate iPod Touch technology in pilot stores to enable customers’ purchases to be scanned while waiting in line. The transaction is then suspended until the customer reaches the register to conclude payment. Stage two will enable payments to be taken via the iPod Touch, reducing transaction times even further.
