Top 3 Questions for Mobile Computer Purchases

Purchasing mobile computers can be a daunting task for most companies. With all of the brands, sizes, features, and costs it can be difficult to determine which mobile computer is a good fit for your needs. Intermec, a business partner of Barcoding Inc., has created a white paper that is designed to help you make the right choice when making a mobile computer purchase.

Mobile Computing and Business
Approximately 40 percent of the average workforce today is mobile, and this number is rising. Researchers estimate that by 2009, 878 million workers—or roughly one quarter of the entire global workforce—will be mobile. In the world’s competitive markets, mobility has proven itself an essential component of business strategy, and early implementers are already enjoying measurable benefits in productivity, cost savings and overall growth.

Service organizations using mobile field service solutions are reporting meeting 22 percent more sales targets, resolving problems 21 percent faster and increasing service revenues by 18 percent. The return on investment (ROI) associated with mobile device deployments has been considerable, both in time and money saved as well as the impacts on customer relationships. Studies show that the average sales or field force worker can save approximately 60 minutes each day, of what had essentially been lost time, by using a wireless mobile device to collect and channel business-critical information to a centralized database or billing system. These hourly savings equate to approximately $11,000 per mobile user per year - which for companies with mobile workers numbering in the thousands represents a significant savings.

The three questions you should ask when considering mobile computers:

1. What Are the Needs of Your Workforce?
2. What Are the Goals of Your Enterprise?
3. Is a Rugged Device Right for the Job?

Please, read the full white paper from our partner Intermec to find out how these simple questions could save your company time and money when purchasing mobile computers.
