Salesforce partners with Google Android and Zebra Technologies for POS deployment

Salesforce, Google Android, and Zebra Technologies Corporation are excited to announce a joint solution designed to improve operations, empower store associates, and elevate customer engagement for retailers. Retail Cloud POS will be available on Android in December 2025, helping retailers gain more hardware flexibility with the ability to run point-of-sale on Zebra devices. 

Retail Cloud POS, Google Android, and Zebra work together to put the right information in the hands of frontline workers, so retailers can increase efficiency and accuracy of inventory tasks, close more sales, and improve the customer experience. This partnership comes at a crucial time, as shopper expectations for in-store experiences are skyrocketing and the roles of store associates continue to evolve.

The current state of brick-and-mortar stores

• Most retailers (81%) say inefficient processes and technology drain store associate productivity.
• The store associate role is getting broader, encompassing much more than just sales activities and managing the register. 72% of associates’ time is now spent on activities unrelated to checkout
• Associates log into up to 11 different systems per day to complete tasks.

Increasing store productivity is a top priority for retail leaders. With Retail Cloud POS and Zebra, it’s easier and faster than ever to keep track of inventory, fulfill orders, and streamline operations at brick-and-mortar shops.

What the new partnership means for retailers

“Our new collaboration with Salesforce marks an exciting chapter in retail innovation, and the Retail Cloud POS launch is just the beginning of what we’ll achieve together,” said Joe White, Chief Product & Solutions Officer, Zebra Technologies. “By integrating Zebra’s intelligent Android-based solutions with Salesforce’s customer platform, we are enabling retailers to better connect with their customers and associates.” 

Hardware flexibility

For retailers already using Zebra devices, this new partnership enables a quick, easy upgrade to Retail Cloud POS. No need for new hardware investments or lengthy deployments. Simply load the app onto the devices that are already in your associates’ hands.

Reduce associate training time

Along with hardware flexibility made possible by the new partnership, retailers can also reduce associate training time. Now, retailers can launch a new POS system on hardware that’s already familiar to store associates. Instead of days spent learning a new system, teams can get comfortable in hours — which reduces downtime and ensures fast time to value.

More efficient in-store operations

Store associates or warehouse staff equipped with Zebra devices can interact with Retail Cloud POS data — look up order status, customer profile details, pick lists, and product info — while freely moving around the store.

In a new era of agentic commerce, Retail Cloud POS, Zebra Technologies, and Google Android partner to empower store associates with cutting-edge tools and smart, AI-powered insights for enhanced productivity. This collaboration creates seamless, unified shopping experiences that help businesses attract a new generation of shoppers.
