Case Study: a U.S. home decor retailer saves time and money with Barcoding's Android device rollout

Barcoding Helps U.S. Home Decor Retailer Save Time and Money

Barcoding's client, a major U.S. home decor retailer, faced significant challenges with its cumbersome iOS devices and barcode sleds, which suffered from Bluetooth pairing issues and unreliable functionality. The retailer sought a partner to smoothly transition over 100 stores to a more rugged, integrated device solution that could be deployed quickly and managed easily in the long term, aiming to improve its global inventory tracking processes.

Barcoding implemented a comprehensive solution by first analyzing the retailer's specific needs and then deploying Zebra TC51 Android devices pre-loaded with AirWatch MDM software. This transition, managed through Barcoding's GoLive Services, was rolled out in waves to 115 sites. The result was a 20-30 percent reduction in operating hours, lower repair and purchasing costs, and a more efficient, reliable scanning process, all achieved with minimal business disruption for the client.
