7 Benefits of Adaptable & Accelerated Data Capture
According to Zebra’s 2019 Warehousing Vision Study, over 70% of warehouses plan to integrate automated solutions into their operations by 2024. In order to remain competitive, businesses have turned to a plethora of different modernization strategies, yet not every solution is built to adapt to today’s dynamic demands. However, Barcodes, Inc. works with adaptable solutions that can grow to meet new demands without increasing costs. For example, Zebra’s DS457 Fixed Mount Scanner empowers teams to embrace automation without difficult learning curves or extraneous backend modifications.

Is Zebra’s CS60 Companion Scanner Part of Your Next Store Modernization Strategy?
With so many modernization options available today, it may be tempting to just jump into the latest and greatest device. However, the key to a successful modernization strategy lies in careful planning. That’s where versatile technologies such as Zebra’s CS60 barcode scanner can be quite useful as it provides an adaptable and scalable modernization option to overcome present and future retail challenges.
Who Can Benefit from the No-Compromise Companion Scanner?
While Zebra’s new CS60 companion scanner is set to enhance storefront workflows, there are a few questions you can ask yourself to assess implementation possibilities before integrating the next generation of mobile retail data capture:
1. Are you currently using multiple scanners for varying scanning needs?
Different tasks may require different scanning capabilities such as hands-free for contactless transactions. Instead of managing multiple corded and cordless scanners throughout the store, convertible scanners like the CS60 can reduce the number of deployed devices, ultimately reducing TCO in the long run.
2. Are associates utilizing scanners in non-traditional settings consistently?
While handheld scanners are traditionally used in the checkout lanes, they have also made their way into inventory management and cycle counting as automated data capture is proven to reduce data entry errors. Mobile scanning enables automated data capture in space-constrained counters, self-service kiosks, and shopping aisles, allowing your associates to stay efficient anywhere they go.
3. Do you need to simplify your device management plan?
Multiple devices mean multiple service and repair plans. Not only does the CS60 preform in various scanning scenarios but its inductive charging feature also eliminates the need for constant recharging. Zebra’s WiFi Friendly mode also secures scanner efficiency without WiFi interruptions. Lastly, pre-installed Virtual Tether prevents device loss by keeping scanners within range and locating misplacements within seconds.
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, your operations may benefit from new data capture devices like the Zebra CS60. To learn more about how you start modernizing your storefront, contact us for a free consultation.
How Modernization is Changing the Face of Public Service
When it comes to today’s public sector, citizens are expecting dependable and agile service now more than ever. Concerning the efficiency of modern public services, 53% of citizens believe agencies should reinvest in innovative solutions, especially in those that create unison with the private sector[1]. Because many critical tasks still operate via legacy technologies, modernization is a risk most agencies can’t afford to take. A data breach in government branch agencies can lead to leaked social security numbers, voting affiliations, citizenship status, and other sensitive data beyond payment/ credit card information. Therefore, modernization must be seamless and safe.
