Tablets are nowadays used more and more in assisted sales tasks in the physical stores like e.g. show videos, sales promotions, check if an article is in stock, check price, place an order via the web shop if the article is not in stock and so on. The last thing you want is that the customer leaves without a purchase, thus .... give your shoppers a Call to Action device in your store.
