• The Game-Changing Factor - An approach that empowers retailers to streamline their efforts and potentially gain a competitive advantage.
• The "Must-See" Factor - Solutions that stopped attendees in their tracks on the show floor.

LightSpeed Mobile is the mobile retail extension to the next-generation LightSpeed Point of Sale system for Mac that transforms the way retailers sell to their customers. Using the same mobile hardware employed by Apple in its highly acclaimed retail stores, LightSpeed Mobile offers retailers a true advantage over competitors with an affordable alternative to traditional retail systems and long, impersonal line-ups at the register. Retail sales staff can use an iPod touch or iPhone and LightSpeed Mobile to connect to a LightSpeed database and process sales anywhere in the store.
