Theatro announced that it has reached an agreement with Honeywell to create joint Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions that empower retail store associates. With this agreement, Honeywell will become an official reseller of Theatro’s SaaS subscription services to complement the Honeywell In-Store Connected Retail Solution Portfolio. The joint solutions will enable a seamless service experience for subscribers on Theatro’s SaaS platform, whether they access the service from a Theatro Communicator or from a Honeywell Mobility Edgedevice. As part of the agreement, Theatro will optimize its mobile application software for use on Honeywell mobile products. By working together, Theatro and Honeywell will ensure users experience the same high-quality voice communications on Wi-Fi networks whether on their Theatro Communicator or Honeywell Mobility Edge device. Theatro’s voice-controlled mobile applications, employee location capability, and analytical insight apps are designed to enable a more engaged, informed and efficient in-store workforce. The integration with Honeywell will allow in-store associates equipped with Honeywell devices to leverage Theatro’s unique intelligent, in-ear virtual assistant and voice applications to collaborate with colleagues and access enterprise information systems at the speed of voice. Ultimately, this additional functionality will allow hourly workers to respond to customer inquiries more effectively and efficiently, without breaking eye contact with a customer. Honeywell and Theatro will offer live demonstrations of the joint solutions in the Honeywell booth #3257 and Theatro booth #1517 at the NRF Big Show Jan. 13-15.
