With Samsung SmartThings, retailers can easily manage several display screens and the hospitality sector can better control their guest rooms.

Elevate workforce productivity with the game-changing power of Galaxy AI

35% of Filipino waking hours are spent on mobile phones, but so much untapped potential lies in how businesses use smartphones. Samsung SEA Head of Mobile Experience B2B Ian Chong shared how Galaxy AI allows smartphones to turn into pocket-sized assistance for various business professionals.

Transcript Assist and Note Assist help to ease the way meetings and calls are done, so that employees can organize minutes in just a moment. Meanwhile, Live Translate allows local companies to comfortably conduct international business meetings with real-time accurate translation.

Engage customers to shop, order and buy with Samsung-powered retail environments

From premium displays to customizable business TVs, Samsung has products that cover the full consumer journey – from viewing to purchase. Samsung also combines content management and remote hardware management into one unique platform, for a simpler and easier complete experience. Samsung also featured its first-rate Self-Ordering Kiosk at the event through some of its local partners.

KFC was one of the first businesses in the Philippines to adopt such technology, and has seen so much success that they have decided to adopt Samsung technology across all stores nationwide this year. “We wanted to assist our store managers to better focus on serving customers,” KFC Group Chief Information Officer Louie Quiogue shared. The self-ordering kiosk is an all-in-one solution that offers contactless ordering and payment capabilities with easy installation.

The most secure business platform with Samsung Knox

Samsung also understands the utmost importance of mobile security, and gives companies the ability to keep their devices safe through its Knox platform. Knox blocks potential security threats in the workplace and ensures that installed applications come from only authorized sources. What makes Knox distinct is how it is built from the hardware itself, integrated into the processing chip so that gadgets cannot be hacked via malware. This means the devices are safeguarded from the inside out, and in real time.
