FREMONT, Calif. - Socket Mobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:SCKT) announced today the release of a cordless scanning solution combining its S721 barcode scanner with a new Magic Dock charging station, designed for retail and shared workstation environments.
The solution addresses operational challenges in environments where scanning devices are shared among multiple employees across shifts. The S721 scanner pairs with the Magic Dock through a scan-to-connect process, maintaining connectivity and charge throughout the workday.
The product is designed for use with point-of-sale systems including Shopify POS Hub, Square, Lightspeed, and Loyverse. The S721 can operate independently through Bluetooth LE connection when used without the dock, allowing deployment in both fixed and mobile retail settings.The product launch comes as Socket Mobile faces financial headwinds, with shares trading near their 52-week low of $0.81 at a current price of $0.86. The company’s market capitalization stands at $7.07 million, and the stock has declined 30% over the past six months. According to InvestingPro analysis, which tracks over 1,400 US equities with comprehensive Pro Research Reports, the company currently holds a "WEAK" financial health rating.
"Retailers want cordless scanning to feel simple, stable, and always ready at the checkout counter," said Dave Holmes, Chief Business Officer at Socket Mobile, according to a press release statement. "The combination of the S721 and Magic Dock addresses that need."
Socket Mobile will offer a 60-day satisfaction guarantee for customers purchasing the solution, allowing returns for a full refund excluding shipping costs. The company will also provide a $50 trade-in incentive for businesses transitioning from existing scanner configurations.
The S721 and Magic Dock solution is available with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $219. The product supports standard keyboard-style input and enhanced data capture for applications using Socket Mobile’s CaptureSDK 2.1.
Socket Mobile develops data capture and delivery solutions for retail, healthcare, hospitality, and warehouse environments.
