We sat down with Luke Wilwerding, VP of North America Sales at Elo Touch Solutions, for an in-depth conversation about how enterprise Android is revolutionizing commercial retail and hospitality technology. Luke has been with Elo for 20 years and has witnessed every major transformation in the industry.
This conversation covers everything from Elo’s pioneering work in enterprise Android over a decade ago to their current mobile innovations and future vision for touchscreen technology. Luke explains why enterprise Android is fundamentally different from consumer Android, how Elo’s OS 360 security platform protects businesses, and why they're helping customers migrate from legacy systems without scrapping their hardware investments.
We dive deep into real customer success stories, including one business that built over 50 applications on a single mobile device, and discuss whether touchscreens will survive the AI revolution. Luke also shares insights on Elo’s partnership with Stripe for tap-to-pay technology and their Bridge solution for migrating existing hardware to Android.
Whether you're a retail executive, technology decision-maker, or just curious about the future of commercial technology, this conversation provides valuable insights into where the industry is heading.
