When Time is Money – It Adds Up
When choosing a mobile computer or barcode scanner, one of the last things on anybody’s mind is what kind of battery I should buy with my device. Even worse, sellers fail to explain how the battery alone can save a company on time, money and productivity.
Research shows that companies lose at least 20 minutes of productivity every time a battery is changed mid-shift. Here’s an example of what device downtime can cost:
- 500 devices in operation
- 500 devices x 1 battery failure each = 500 mid-shift failures per day
- 500 mid-shift failures x 20 minutes each = 167 hours lost each day
- 167 hours/day x $9.00/hour = $1,503.00 per day
- $1,503.00 x 360 days = $541,080 PER YEAR in lost productivity
