Drive productivity and efficiency

To boost efficiency across supply chain operations, reduce logistics costs, and keep customers satisfied with on-time delivery, businesses must reevaluate their operations and embrace growing trends in supply chain and logistics and transportation.

Rugged Solutions for Transportation & Logistics


Consumer behavior today now requires everything be available for ultra-rapid fulfillment at a reasonable price. In a highly competitive market, on-demand delivery can be the differentiator for many companies.

To speed up fulfillment options, supply chains are shifting to the local level. Today, many orders are being fulfilled from local stores or urban fulfillment centers. This method has many benefits including the ability to use up local inventory. Delivery can be done quickly and efficiently, boosting the customer experience and keeping up with supply chain trends.

Technology must also meet this demanding and quickly changing landscape. A main opportunity to providing this excellent customer experience is providing a rugged tablet as the basis for all software integration.
