In-Store Retail Forecast: Heavy Mobile With a Chance of Beacons

Point-of-Sale Systems and Mobile Payments
Obvious transitions are happening in the point-of-sale space, paving the way for the death of the cash register. In 2015, we'll see more mobile checkout options in-store and fewer queues at the front. With the rise of PayPal, Square and, recently, Apple Pay, there's no question that we'll also see movement in the mobile payments space. Disruption will be slow however due to legacy platforms, with the overall transaction level lower than 3 percent.
