Mobile devices play a major role in warehouse management. This is because effectively implementing mobile devices can help modernize your warehouse and meet rising customer demands to boost warehouse management. Reliable mobile devices also streamline visibility to boost inventory management and prevent out-of-stocks. 77% of warehouse decision-makers agree they need to modernize operations, but only 35% have a clear understanding of where to start automating. Without reliable mobility solutions, businesses are left unequipped to meet demands. This means that asset visibility and productivity falters, delivery dates are missed, and customers become dissatisfied. The modernization process can be costly and time-consuming, but it can be simplified. In RECENT STUDIES, warehouse decision-makers replied that if money was not an issue, they would like to implement or upgrade these technologies to help improve their warehouses:

• Warehouse Management Software and related applications
• Upgraded connectivity
• Barcode scanners
• RFID scanners
• Forklifts
