Why tablet locks gain popularity

Tablet usage in public & semi-public areas is on the rise, simply because tablet applications are easy to use and maintain the mobility factor.

Retail sector

Take for instance assisted sales applications within the retail sector. Bringing the web shop into the physical store makes perfect sense, checking if an article is in stock in the physical store is also an interesting added sales feature for shoppers.

Retailers should be extremely 'on edge' to make this possible. After all once the shopper enters the store give them every opportunity to buy. Even if the article is not in stock allow the shoppers to buy the article on the provided tablet in the physical store to order it and collect or drop ship afterwards.

But using tablets in retail stores also bring other 'issues' along, e.g. how to fix and secure the tablet in the store? Is there power on the spot or dors it need too be installed? What security lock, security bracket or tablet enclosure to use?
