The Retail 2.0 integration of Tablet Central provides product information via the touchscreen on the rear of the display, or by lifting an item from it’s resting position. Once you have the product information on the screen, you can scan a QR code with your phone to get the product information to review later, review recommended accessories for the product, even compare several devices against each other with consistent specification data to assist shoppers in making a purchasing decision.

TigerConnect centers feature multiple interaction methods – customers can either pickup a phone and the corresponding product information will appear on the screen; or they can select a phone on the touchscreen interface to obtain full product information.

In order to assist consumers in narrowing down their choices, we integrated a comparison feature, allowing the consumer to select up to 14 phones at a time and compare their specifications side by side, dropping out selections as they “weed them out.”

Keep watching for new Retail 2.0 developments and the ongoing rollout of TigerConnect centers in a TigerDirect or CompUSA Retail Store near you.
