For Motorola Solutions and The Speed Traders, Malaysia is Key Market in Asia

April 3, 2012 - PRLog -- (March 22, 2012, New York) Motorola Solutions Malaysia Sdn Bhd sees the country as a key market in the region as its retail industry is at the mid-maturity stage, says its retail vertical Asia Pacific director Anand Mehta. He said companies should take advantage of the developing technology to achieve a seamless business operation. "Our innovative solutions are designed to enable business agility, improve productivity, increase sales as well as enhance customer experience. We see our self-scanning solution, catered for supermarkets and hypermarkets, will make a big hit among the technology-savvy consumers in Asia, such as Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, within the next 12 to 18 months," Anand told reporters at the company's roundtable discussion on the local retail industry here yesterday.
He said Motorola Solutions are in discussions with prominent retailers to implement the technology. "This particular solution is already popular in Europe and growing rapidly in the US, because it benefits both retailers and customers by increasing sales of the retailers and enhancing the shopping experience of the customers," he added.

Motorola Solutions has a complete suite of retail mobility solutions with a wide portfolio of customers, including Mydin, Tesco, Zara and Macy's.
