BlueStar Will Offer Versatile Point-Of-Sale Solution

HP's MX10 Delivers Both Stationary and Mobile Functionality

BlueStar, a leading global distributor of ADC, Mobility, Point-of-Sale, RFID, Digital Signage, and Security technology solutions, announced recently the immediate availability of the HP MX10, a "3-in-1" point-of-sale solution for retail and hospitality customers. The versatile package combines the HP ElitePad Mobile POS solution with the HP Retail Expansion Dock, providing a seamless transition from a fixed location to a mobile solution. Businesses who once had to choose one or the other can now have the best of both.

The HP MX10 makes point-of-sale completely flexible. Sales associates can check inventory and verify prices at the customer's side, and accept payment with a built-in magnetic stripe reader. Instant connection to the HP Retail Expansion Dock provides a complete POS experience at the counter, with immediate access to receipt printing and a cash drawer.

"Customers are drawn to businesses that consistently meet their needs and expectations in satisfying ways," said Ray Carlin, vice president and general manager, Retail Solutions, HP. "With our new MX10 solution, store managers and associates are empowered with critical information at the point of decision, enabling them to deliver an enhanced customer experience."

The HP MX10 also offers easy integration into existing IT infrastructures. The Windows-based solution links to customer relationship management (CRM) systems, and USB and RJ-45 ports make it simple to connect to a store's existing POS peripherals. The compact and stylish design of the ElitePad makes it easy for associates to carry and use on the sales floor, and the trim functionality of the MX10 Expansion Dock frees up valuable counter space in a stationary configuration. Cable locks and security options protect the unit from theft.

Denise Spears, Business Development Manager for BlueStar, summed up the potential benefits of the new solution. "Now, businesses can serve their customers at the counter or on the sales floor," she said. "The HP MX10 will help them meet their goal of providing the ultimate service experience. And, we have made it even easier for our customers to purchase by bundling the MX10 with pcAmerica software to offer a fully integrated, turn-key point of sale solution. Please see your BlueStar sales rep for details."
