Mobile devices are becoming necessary for maintaining efficiency in your industry whether it's retail, logistics, cold chain, manufacturing, or distribution. This is because mobile devices improve accuracy, data capture, and productivity to create smoother operations and scalability. Studies show that 85% of store associates agree that they provide a better customer experience using handheld mobile computers with scanners. Furthermore, leading decision-makers seem to agree on equipping workers with mobile devices for partial automation. Recent studies indicate that low productivity costs employers around $1.8 MILLION ANNUALLY, which could affect businesses that have slower manual operations. Essentially, without mobile technology, a company could be left unprepared to face consumer expectations which leads to damaged operational efficiency and customer relationships. However, in an age where virtually everything is in low supply, acquiring enterprise-grade mobile devices has also become a challenge for businesses seeking to modernize.
