Rugged Solutions for Warehousing
Warehousing faces many challenges and opportunities in our post-pandemic world. Here's a look at a few of them:
- Continued labor shortages
- Explosion of e-commerce
- Rise of robotics
- Increasing number of SKUs
- Rise of Millennials in the workforce
- Returns handling and replenishment increasingly important
- Risk management
- Consumers want omnichannel fulfillment
Consumers are demanding more ways to shop, which means retailers are transforming their warehouses and expanding into pop-up warehouses for omnichannel fulfillment. That shift goes from picking full cases and pallets to picking each one for direct to consumer fulfillment. Warehouse managers are adjusting their equipment and facilities to make this happen. They must ensure inventory visibility across the entire organization in order to be successful for omnichannel fulfillment.
Rugged Tablets
Manufacturers need to start their omnichannel warehouse fulfilment opportunities with a solid base. That's where MobileDemand's rugged tablets comes into play. Your rugged tablet can handle the complex data collection and tracking applications necessary for quick, convenient and easy fulfillment.
From warehouse floor data collection to delivery to a store or directly to the consumer, xTablets provide accurate, quick, easy and real-time information regarding your products.
Even industrial goods manufacturers can cut operational costs and improve delivery to the customer. The family of xTablets from MobileDemand allows you to streamline your entire supply chain operation from receiving to tracking through manufacturing, to the warehouse and finally to fulfillment. xTablets support ERP and warehouse management systems and can be mounted directly to the forklift for inventory management, cross docking, pick and put away and direct store delivery.
