Zebra
A Dutch retail group, Sting, needed a reliable, robust, but stylish and contemporary Android-based device for its store operations. They required a central management functionality to enable The Sting’s IT department to remotely update and manage devices online, without causing any device downtime. Enters Zebra with its TC70 Touch Computers and Soti MobiControl. Sting’s staff use apps running on the Zebra TC70s to communicate and to access stock, product, and delivery information in real-time, wherever they are in store, as well as for inventory checks and to scan incoming and outgoing goods. All the information gathered on the TC70s is communicated in real time to The Sting’s back office systems, so there is always a fully accurate stock and order overview. Bart Overbeek, IT Director, The Sting said, “The Zebra TC70s are a huge improvement for our store staff. They are reliable, highly usable and offer such high performance scanning. Our employees have adopted the TC70s with great enthusiasm and with very little training.”
