Mobile Sales Enablement
Windows-enabled tablets can be a major
component of a mobile sales enablement
program. Because they run a full version of
Windows, these devices offer the functionality
of a laptop in a lighter, more portable
package. Using a Windows-enabled tablet,
salespeople can easily access:
• Rich-media marketing materials, maximizing the
effectiveness of branded marketing resources
• CPQ (Configure-Price-Quote) software,
eliminating barriers between the customer and
the decision to buy
• Contact lists, prospect insights, and
CRM software

5. Increasing Efficiency
and Productivity
Tablets running Windows 8.1 are multi-use
devices. In addition to serving as a mobile
Point of Sale, mobile devices can increase
efficiency and productivity across an
entire business. Read on to see how
one restaurant gets the most out of
their Windows-enabled tablets.

6. Increasing Efficiency
and Productivity
The Habit Burger Grill was experiencing
growing pains as their franchise expanded.
Lines were getting longer inside the
restaurant, at the drive-through, and even
outside their fleet of food trucks. The
Habit’s leadership decided to deploy
Windows-enabled tablets as mobile
Point of Sale devices.
The Habit’s employees were able to take orders
while customers were standing in line, increasing
order efficiency by 30-40%.
Using the mobile POS in the drive-through
lane enabled The Habit’s employees to beat
their existing sales record by 17%.

7. Increasing Efficiency
and Productivity
With the success of the mobile POS program,
Habit Burger started restructuring operations
to take advantage of the tablet’s many other
capabilities. Now they use the tablets
to enable:
• Digital onboarding, providing new employees
with interactive self-led training
• Access to paycheck and benefits information,
which eases the administration load
• Paperless inventory control, reducing inventory
time by 20%
• Virtual monitoring of franchise compliance in lieu of
costly field audits

8. Saving Millions in
Operating Costs
When scanning and storage technology
became widely available for businesses, it
seemed the dream of a paperless office
was about to come true. Decades later,
companies in the U.S. still spend $8 billion
managing paper every year.
The new generation of Windows-enabled
tablets finally has the computing power,
security, and flexibility to replace the pounds
of paper businesses go through every year.
Here’s how one airline saved millions by
simply ditching their paper field manuals.

9. Saving Millions
in Operating Cost
Delta Airlines pilots used to carry a 40-lb
flight bag full of manuals and procedures.
For every change in procedure, Delta had
to print new documentation for 11,000
flight bags.
Delta’s 11,000 flight bags weigh 440,000
pounds all together, as much as one of
the planes in their fleet.

10. Saving Millions
in Operating Cost
Delta swapped its flight bag for a new
“electronic flight bag:” a Wi-Fi enabled
tablet PC.
The new electronic flight bag weighs less
than a pound.
It now contains living documents, instantly
updateable as conditions change on
the ground.
Delta’s affordable innovation saved them an
estimated 1.2 million gallons of fuel
per year.
