With that I thank you, there is much more to discuss this was to give you a flavor of the subject. We are gladly at your service where required.
Post Jan 2011 separation a standalone global entity approaching approximately $8 billion in sales Fortune 300 company with a global presence
In total we have 10 “ Super verticals” of which the Govt and Retail verticals are the top 2 contributors . This slide to represent that all “captains of industry” within the applicable vertical are established customers of ours.
On a global basis we have 4 regions – NAM, LAM, EMEA and APAC and from the top left to the bottom right we have dominant coverage of the top local retailers in the country. On an APAC only level, it is a world in itself . From a mature Australia/Japan to growth spurt China/India to an infant Vietnam we have a insight in the various stage of maturity retail is as a total industry and which formats and solutions are best suited to the different markets. The value of this to a retailer is quite simply eliminating predictable growth mistakes and cutting short the learning curve.
The subject of today is Smart Mobility , please let me take a minute to define this so that we are all on the same page. Mobility is quite self explanatory – think only of the impact the mobile phone and then the lap top had on your personal life The impact on the enterprise when introducing Mobility is the same if not more significant due to the commercial value of information flow. Ask yourself – if you don’t have a mobile phone or a lap top now are you confident that you will still be in the same competitive position as someone who does? I think you take the point I am making… The Smart in Mobility is quite simple as well – for anything to be considered smart t in business there has to be positive impact on sales, expenses and profitability and we are fully willing to stand by this - our Mobility solutions will give you competitive advantage. I would like to flag a key point now – Mobility is an ecosystem in itself that requires considerate planning, appropriate implementation, reliable security and active daily management to yield the best business results. If you consider it an add on to your current infrastructure you will get benefits but not near its fullest potential…
As this is an experienced retail audience, you will not doubt be aware that will the store is the most visual part of retailing it is only part of the chain of events. Equal consideration needs to be give to the warehouse and delivery (logistics) Mobility is applicable wherever there is a movement of goods involving people. My personal history is of strict retailing , I come from what I call “the buy side” and know that retailers measure everything as a % and logistics can cost up to 7% of sales depending on which product category you are trading. Why would you not want to impact such a significant expense?
To show you some trends, don’t just take our word for it.
This had to be the case because the only other real spend if you think about it is POS Systems and Printers mainly – this is no longer extraordinary it has been a stock standard commoditized requirement.
The goal of the mobility hardware is also clearly identified – more information real time for both the store associate and the consumer
In terms of the “killer apps” for the mobility space it is clearly based on variations of CRM for the consumer and Inventory Visibility for the store managers/sales teams
Once again it is clearly evident that mobility is the core focus for at least the next 3 years. This is to make clear that the environment is going to be a “consumer push” rather than a “vendor pull” for those who are too slow to react to the market trends . Equally important point to note is that the Mobile Payment trend is going to make the cash register increasingly redundant. If you have visited the Apple store in 5ht Avenue NYC the future is now !
Gartner is well know and I find them to be one of the most reliable if you review the actual results against their forecasts. Beside Mobile Apps here, the big point to note is what they term as “Ubiquitous Computing” which basically means constant connectivity – Smartphone and tablets. As a retailer we all understand that if people only bought what they needed the industry would be 1/5 th the size ! Inducing “Impulse purchases” gets alot of attention is plan o grams for stores – Mobility aids impluse purchases – bought an App on the App store? Purchasing at the speed of thougt
The message here is simple – you are trading information first and goods second in direct response to market demands not buyer assumptions ….
A quick insight into the store, it is the most critical part….
Key gaps valid across APAC As mentioned it is an active work in progress, please ref slide 18 Define Mobile Loyalty – 1) Extension of CRM 2) Smartphone Coupon Management Either way, content is king
It is easy to see how Amazon’s business strategy is manifested in their design decisions. They build tools that accept and observe preferences (browsing behavior, search queries, wish lists, purchasing history, etc) and design features to take advantage of that knowledge by finding related and closely relevant products. The design of the entire Amazon web site is explained in these two paragraphs. It is the best example I can find of how strategy affects design . Mass personalization CRM + IT Clicks and mortar What is it about? Core categories – low asp, price elasticity If not products, sell prices/discounts
2D scanners to read mobile coupons
Key gaps across APAC ISVs to be engaged late Q2

We are not just talking about trends, find following soltuions to capitalise on the trends
Mobility will identify processes plow, map it against your SOP and re engineering if required Data is captured live at appropriate milestones
Our experience in regions that have adopted Mobility earlier clearly shows that along with more increased data capture points comes a massive amount of information that needs mining
The point to make here is that mobility historically was basically data capture and task automation , Analytics have entered mobility permanently due to the growth of a mobile ecosystem in enterprises.
The next generation mobile enterprise is now not in the future . Market or industry maturity is irrelevant what matters is individual company strategy. India and China are particularly clued in given the geography and remote management required ? Once again I will make the point that the advantage and profitability you are looking for as a retailer to be found from within. All I am for is 1% internally, to use a cricket analogy I don’t want to hit a 6/home run ad hoc rather take one valuable run at a time consistently .
Although Spore only figures, SMES are a collective force in every market , particularly SEA and India. These are volume not margin countries All Tier 2,3 cities and cloud opportunities are inclusive in this segment As a retailer I can tell you that its fine to see high tickets items only , but the small ticket sales always add up in volume
With that I thank you, there is much more to discuss this was to give you a flavor of the subject. We are gladly at your service where required.
