Is labor shortage or employee turnover a daily challenge? You’re not alone.

There are some serious gaps in the workforce, especially in professional services, hospitality, financial, retail, and manufacturing.

The labor shortage is a multi-faceted problem without a single quick fix. It doesn’t appear skilled workers are going to return to pre-pandemic levels any time soon, either. So what steps can be taken to mitigate this costly, complex challenge?

Barcodes, Inc. has a wide array of integrated technology solutions to address labor shortages, including automation, RFID, and enterprise mobility management. One aspect of high turnover and a shrinking talent pool is slightly overlooked, however: the user experience on the tools you use in your supply chain today.

Would offering a consistent user experience across devices and applications appeal to your workers? The answer is likely yes. Thanks to our strategic partnership with Ivanti, we tackle UI for telnet and web applications head on with industry-leading terminal emulation software.

Introducing Ivanti Velocity

Ivanti Velocity (powered by Wavelink) enables a modern, user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) for legacy workflow applications, all without making changes to your WMS or enterprise application.

As noted in detail on the Ivanti Velocity spec sheet, the software emulates existing text-based telnet apps on Android devices.

Without impacting your apps or writing code, Ivanti Velocity brings order picking from their initial “green screen” (pictured on the left below) to a modern, voice-enabled GUI (on the right) that is much simpler to use.

Your workers will find it much easier to adjust to new Android-enabled hardware without major disruptions to your daily operations. Other key benefits of Ivanti Velocity include:

• Deploy Android-ready hardware with minimal barrier to entry
• Maintain your existing host system, (such as a WMS) without modification or migration
• Modernize your mobile experience with a GUI that is intuitive to navigate and use
• Increase accuracy and speed of order picking
