Customer Background
A global e-commerce fulfillment center managing over 50,000 SKUs daily faced increasing challenges in inventory accuracy, picking efficiency, and system integration.
To modernize its workflow, the company began deploying rugged tablets for warehouse management to replace consumer devices and enable real-time data synchronization with warehouse systems.
Their warehouse staff previously relied on handheld consumer tablets, which frequently broke down under heavy use and could not keep up with real-time data requirements.
Challenges
Inventory Inaccuracy – Manual barcode scanning and delayed synchronization caused frequent stock mismatches.
Low Efficiency – Workers wasted time switching between devices and paper-based records during picking.
System Integration Issues – Consumer devices struggled to connect with their Warehouse Management System (WMS) and ERP.
Hardware Failures – Consumer-grade tablets failed due to dust, drops, and long shift operations.
