UK (SANEPR.com) November 6, 2008 -- Jade Communications, one of the UK’s leading providers of mobile voice and data communications is hosting a free seminar entitled Cost Effective Data Communications for Retailers at The Avnet Resource Centre, Bracknell, Berkshire from 9.30am on Wednesday 3rd December 2008. The event will also see Jade launch MerchantEyes, its innovative new real-time data communications application developed specifically for retailers.

The seminar opens with retail technology journalist Penelope Ody exploring the many benefits of real-time data capture and communications and the benefits retailers have gained from applying identification technologies. Craig Backham, technology vendor Intermec’s highly experienced EMEA Business Development Manager for the retail sector follows this up with a comprehensive assessment of the benefits of applying mobile technology within retail environments, with reference to successful retail case studies.

Within this context Dave Sharratt, Director and Rebecca Lawrence, System Developer at Jade Communications, will unveil the company’s all-new MerchantEyes application with live demonstrations based on the new Intermec CK3 handheld computer.

“Tier one retailers have been gaining competitive advantage from this technology for many years, but until now tier two and three retailers have been held back by the cost of investment,” says Dave Sharratt, Director of Jade Communications. “MerchantEyes offers a uniquely low cost point of entry for this type of technology with minimal capital outlay while delivering core applications to make retail more efficient and profitable including Stock Control, Price Management, Customer Service and an overall management function.”
