Back in the 70’s, I grew up under the hood of a car and I learned how to take my 1957 Chevy and turn it into something that delivered much more punch and fun! Hot rodding cars was prevalent — looking at what racers were doing and experimenting with our own ideas. I’m not sure how widespread hot rodding is for today’s high schoolers but in the world of retail technology, manufacturers are always looking to offer more punch.
Pushing the development and implementation of new technology is often the result of pressure from users and the market as a whole. Retailers push bar code scanning devices continuously to evolve. They rely on technology to deliver products and services in a hyper competitive market.
While retail stores look like a benign environment similar to a home or office — they are not. Staff are scrambling to keep pricing accurate and shelves stocked; they need to stay up to date on the latest offerings, and the features of the products in their departments. This means the technology tools they use must be manufactured to survive; they must be reliable, and they must secure data.
Retailers want handheld bar code scanning computers to deliver more technology, features, and flexibility such as:
- Wireless charging
- Long lasting one-piece swappable battery
- Eye opening price to performance ratio
- Large Gorilla Glass display with full touch
- Voice support for VOIP & LTE
- Industry leading imager data capture
- Android operating system
- Google Mobile Services
- Android Enterprise Recommended validation by Google
These are features retailers are looking for and they are only available from one manufacturer — Datalogic. This unique blend of features can be found only in the Memor 10 enterprise PDA released this year. If you want to give your retail employees hot rod technology that maximizes speed and efficiency checkout the Memor 10.
