Back-office functions, in your hand, in the aisle.
S4 Mobile is a thin-client extension of S4 Back Office that lets store associates do real back-office work without walking back to the office computer. It runs on grocery-grade handhelds in-aisle and on any PC web browser throughout the enterprise.
Why mobile back office
Back-office work that requires walking to a workstation gets done less often. Mobile access changes the cadence — item lookups, price verifications, receiving, and inventory counts happen where the work is, not when somebody finds time to go to the desk.
- Faster total work time — more information at one time, less paging between screens
- Self-documented function buttons for easier training versus cryptic hotkeys
- Self-documented status pages with descriptions and checkboxes
- Customizable script builder for designing any in-aisle data procedure
- Secure scripts per user with comprehensive activity logging
