USE BY THE RETAILER
Receive Payment: Provide mobile applications, beacons, or digital check presenters to make receipt of payment faster and more secure for the consumer.
Manage Inventory: Instant updates from mobile devices whose data can be shared through WiFi or Bluetooth.
Reduce Wait Times in Restaurants
-Place orders at tables rather than having to return to POS stations. -Finish payments at tables for faster turnover.
Engage with Consumers in Stores
-Beacons can connect to shoppers’ smartphones based on location in the store, provide coupons, and locate items in different departments. -Tablets for employees can provide inventory information so that store associates may look up whether an item is available in the back of house inventory, online, or at a nearby branch without leaving the customer unattended or forcing them to wait impatiently which may result in a loss of sale.
BENEFITS FOR RETAILERS
“Mobile payment users, on average, spend approximately 2x as much
through all digital channels than those not using mobile payments.”

CONSUMER ADOPTION RATES
73% of consumers who use mobile wallets do so <5 times per month
Survey of 25,000 consumers
in five countries shows:
50% of consumers are aware of mobile payments
3-7% have used mobile payments in stores
Currently, the adoption rate of consumers and their consistent use of
mobile payments once adopted is low. The potential exists though, so as
more retailers and restaurants adopt the technology, it is likely that
consumers will make the switch as well.

Since 2010, M-Commerce Spending has drastically increased. Fourth quarter sales peak
each year due to the holiday seasons. If we compare the rates by the identical quarter of
each year, we see consistent increase in mobile purchases from 2010 to 2013.

INDUSTRY DILEMMAS
Lack of consolidation
• According to Eden Zoller, a Principal Analyst from Ovum (a technology consulting
firm), “Consumers will not adopt multiple digital wallets and instead will focus
their loyalty…with one or possibly two services. The best positioned will be those
associated with the financial branches that consumers trust most. It is digital
wallets of this kind that have the best chance of achieving scale.”
The large number of mobile payment options:
NFC (Near Field Communication)
QR Codes
Mobile applications
BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy)
Technology differentiation creates a disconnect between stores and
consumer preference.
PREDICTIONS
IHL Predicts:
In North America, 64.6% of all new Mobile POS will be on phablet (tablet-sized
phones) or larger screens in 2014.
Forrester Research:
Total worldwide sales of tablets will surpass 380 million units this year.
Goldman Sachs projections:
U.S. retail sales on smartphones will more than double from $70 billion this year to
$173 billion by 2018.
Tablet sales will more than triple from $130 billion this year to $453 billion in 2018.

CONCERNS
Security:
• One of the biggest concerns of consumers is the security of their payment data.
Practicality and Inconsistency
There is a lack of incentives for customers to switch.
Not enough stores and restaurants provide mobile payment options.
Consumers can use their phone at some locations, but must pay with card or
cash at others.
Privacy:
Customers are uneasy about the possibility of being tracked or monitored by
stores for behavior profiles and analytics.
CONCLUSION
The current adoption rates of mobile payments by consumers, retailers, and
restaurants is slowly rising.
The willingness of buyers and consumers to provide and adopt new technology
is reduced due to security concerns.
The benefits of mobile platforms go beyond just payments:
-Customer engagement abilities
-Inventory analysis
-More efficient use of time for both parties.
