Openbravo WebPOS - Android - Mobile Bluetooth printer

Openbravo for Retail offers a complete functionality for multichannel retailers, from Sales and Customer Relations to Finance and Operations.  HTML5 web POS can be run on modern tablet devices, helping to improve dramatically the employees productivity and customer buying experience.

However, Openbravo for Retail is not only intended for pure retailers. Are you a distributor who is struggling with your mobilized sales force? Do you have trucks, and lack of complete control over their inventory levels in order to ensure they can fullfill all orders? Do you want to provide your drivers with a powerful tool that helps them to avoid data entry errors, improve your data quality and therefore provide support for a better decision making process?

If you have answered positively to some of these questions, Openbravo for Retail is also a solution for you !. 

Please read more about  simple business scenario in following link, Openbravo for Retail for Wholesalers with mobile sales

 Do you need to provide a receipt for the mobile sales transaction? The best option in this scenario would be to use a bluetooth printer.Currently Openbravo is not supporting blue-tooth receipt printer.As I mentioned in my last post,we successfully printed Invoice receipt from Android device via Bluetooth(using our own Android Hardware Manager).

We tested this application in "Samsung Galaxy Tab 2" with "Zebra ez320" blue-tooth printer.We hope this application may support all Android devices and blue-tooth printers(If Android driver's already exists ).

I attached some sample screen-shots below.
