Amadeus, Socket Mobile Partner for New POS Solution
Socket Mobile, Inc., a provider of mobile productivity solutions, announces a partnership with Amadeus, a global provider of technology and distribution solutions for the travel and tourism industry. Amadeus will pair the Socket Mobile SoMo 650 handheld computer with its mobile Point of Sale (POS) system for restaurants to create an expandable solution to help wait staff take and process guest orders quicker and more efficiently.
The SoMo 650 handheld computer with 128 MB of storage and 624 MHz of processing speed is combined with the Amadeus Restaurant Management System software and stationary POS system. With the mobile solution, a waiter can place the entire order directly from the table, and with one click wirelessly transmit it to the stationary POS system, making the order immediately accessible for the kitchen staff. Amadeus also employs the InfoGenesis software from Agilysys in the POS solution. The software displays the information on the stationary terminal, where the staff can close orders and manage the payment.
Offering a broad portfolio of technology and distribution solutions for the travel and tourism industry, Amadeus also chose the SoMo 650 for the quality of the device and the flexibility it offers. Peripherals for the SoMo 650, including bar code scanners and RFID or magnetic card swipe readers, expand the devices' flexibility for applications within the hospitality sector. This allows companies to grow with the mobile solution, instead of finding a new device for each application. The solution is also Wi-Fi enabled and comes with software allowing easy WLAN installation.
Amadeus has already implemented the mobile POS in several hotel restaurants, including the Ringberg Hotel in Suhl, Germany and the Spa Therme Blumau, Austria.
