Providing the Mobile Tools for Today's Workforce

Faster delivery requirements. Global shortage of warehouse workers. Ever-increasing volumes. These are just a few of the challenges facing supply chain enterprises today. Booming e-commerce demand has driven industries such as warehousing, manufacturing, and trucking to be among the fastest-growing jobs sectors in the country, raising competition for qualified workers to a fevered pitch. Warehousing and storage companies added nearly 100,000 jobs over the past year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and employment in the sector has doubled since 2016, reaching nearly 1.8 million workers in September 2022, according to BLS.

At the same time, companies are expected to deliver orders faster than ever to keep up with the on-demand economy. As e-commerce continues to grow exponentially, it is now more critical than ever before for industrial and warehousing to operate continuously and reliably even in the harshest conditions. Organizations who implement and train their workforce using mobile technology are already seeing how beneficial the technology is. Organizations are reporting a 3% increase in employee productivity and efficiency, 75% customer & partner satisfaction, and a 57% increase in order fulfillment accuracy.
