It is not easy to install a terminal in the sales floor,
Explanation:
and even if there were a terminal there, it is difficult to make use of it since we take a "customers first approach".

The 現場第一主義 actually means something like "site first approach" but this in turn would mean "customers first" in the case of a shop.

agree  LEXICON KK: I would go with "setup" instead of "install" as a "tanmatsu" is a system which is setup, install is more appropriate for the software inside the system.

Explanation:
It is difficult to set up a terminal on the sales floor, and even if one were set up, it would be difficult to use it because of the "sales floor first" policy.

I literally translated 現場第一主義as "the sales floor comes first," which may be broader than the customer.

Also, the subject of this sentence is not clear.
