The Dynamic Duo: Galaxy Xcover7 Pro and Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro Optimize Your Retail Operations

The global mPOS market has witnessed rapid growth since 2017, reaching a size of $40.2 billion in 2023 and is projected to continue growing at over 9% annually until 2032. The shift from traditional POS systems to mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets has enabled businesses to be more flexible in payment processing, inventory management, and improving employee productivity.

Galaxy XCover7 Pro and Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro are Samsung’s latest rugged mobile devices, designed specifically for harsh work environments, including the retail industry. With a range of enhanced features, these devices not only support point-of-sale operations but also enhance user and customer experiences. Galaxy XCover Pro and Galaxy Tab Active Pro are two of the most trusted rugged mobile devices in this field.

The reliability and stability of this duo have been proven by leading global brands such as Walmart (supermarkets), River Island (fashion), Halfords (motorcycles and bicycles), and Buona Beef (restaurants).

In a retail environment, these devices excel at a range of tasks: from product introductions and barcode scanning to inventory checks, payment processing, and direct customer service. Both devices are equipped with NFC for contactless payments, functioning as dedicated mPOS solutions. The Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro takes it a step further by enabling customers to “tag” their cards on the screen for swift payments without the need for additional peripherals.

With a 10.1-inch display, the Tab Active5 Pro offers a visually appealing presentation of menus, price lists, and product information. The included S Pen allows customers to provide signatures directly on the device, a feature highly valued in restaurants and cafes. Meanwhile, the compact Galaxy XCover7 Pro supports barcode scanning with Knox Capture, making it ideal for flexible inventory management and order processing in supermarkets and warehouses.

In terms of connectivity, both devices support 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, and network partitioning, ensuring speed and stability even in crowded environments like malls, convenience stores, or restaurants during peak hours. Physical buttons on the devices provide quick access to essential functions like payments, scanning, and order placement, streamlining employee workflows.

Large-capacity batteries and support for multi-device charging via a dedicated POGO charging cup ensure uninterrupted operations throughout the workday. Notably, the Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro’s “No Battery Mode” allows the device to operate continuously via an external power source, ideal for 24/7 sales points.

At the end of the workday, employees can utilize Samsung DeX to connect their devices to external displays for data entry and revenue reporting via a laptop-like interface, streamlining processes and reducing manual tasks.

Security-wise, both the Galaxy XCover7 Pro and Tab Active5 Pro integrate the Knox platform and Galaxy Enterprise Edition, offering hardware and software security layers. Businesses can monitor, control access, and remotely wipe data if needed. The built-in Knox POS technology safeguards transaction data according to the Global Payment Card Industry Council’s MPoC standard, ensuring secure payment processes.

Galaxy Enterprise Edition also includes extended support policies: a 3-year global warranty, a 2-year product lifecycle guarantee, 7 years of software and security updates, and a complimentary 1-year Knox Suite Enterprise Plan subscription.

With these specialized features, the Galaxy XCover7 Pro and Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro are not just smart handheld devices but comprehensive solutions that empower the retail industry to digitize processes, optimize efficiency, and enhance customer experiences at the point of sale.
