Solving Handheld Device Management #TrueStories

Distribution centers rely on handheld electronics to stay productive. They invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in the latest scanners and powerful mobile computers. But when it comes to managing those devices and protecting their investment, their systems are less than effective.

At Apex, we hear device management crazy-but-true stories all the time.

Like managers who spend hours a day manually checking out scanners, then manually checking them back in again later. Or, companies that pay employees overtime to round up electronics before and after every shift. They sometimes find mobile devices left on shelves or accidentally shipped out with orders.

We’ve even heard of lost scanners showing up in online auctions.

AXCESS™ Automated Locker Solutions provide self-serve check-out and check-in, with 24/7 control and visibility.

How To Get Serious About
Handheld Device Management

With so many DCs turning to automation to improve operations, it’s not surprising that many have discovered AXCESS Automated Locker Solutions from Apex Supply Chain Technologies®.

They offer 24/7 control and quick, self-serve check-out and check-in. The Trajectory Cloud™ platform makes them intelligent, providing detailed, real-time views of who checked-out and checked in each device, and sending email alerts if devices aren’t returned on time or need repair.

How Axcess Eliminates
#TrueStory Headaches

GREATER ACCOUNTABILITY Every device is tracked to the employee who uses it, so damage, misuse and loss are virtually eliminated.

GREATER PRODUCTIVITY AXCESS lockers are self-serve, so employees don’t have to queue or seek out managers to get their devices. Those managers can then focus on more value-added tasks.

GREATER SAVINGS Your mobile devices are protected and last longer. You’ll always know who has every device, and its condition when checked-out, so there’s less need for spares.

Missing scanners can result in hundreds of hours of lost employee productivity each week.

DCs with no employee accountability for handheld devices often replace 15-20% of those items annually due to loss, damage and misuse.

$Lack of effective handheld device management results in higher repair and replacement costs.

Managers lose valuable hours handing out scanners, tracking down missing devices, and ensuring scanners are charged and ready for the next shift.

The High Cost of Handheld Device #TrueStories

Lack of control and accountability when managing handheld devices can have an enormous impact on productivity and profitability.
