Case Study: Mortar Retailer achieves more efficient inventory management with Datalogic

Investigating the best industrial PDA to meet the demanding requirements in Retail

Mortar Retailer, a nationwide brick-and-mortar retailer, needed to replace consumer-grade inventory management devices that were slow, fragile, and inaccurate. The company wanted a more secure, rugged, future-proof handheld scanning solution that could improve barcode reading, support image capture of damaged goods, and better fit its operational and branding requirements.

Datalogic recommended the Joya Touch A6, a pistol-grip industrial PDA with 1D/2D scanning, Green Spot good-read feedback, a larger display, and 12-hour battery life. The retailer also used Datalogic Shield for firmware/software updates and device lockdown, plus EASEOFCARE for rapid replacement and repairs. The result was a more durable, customizable, plug-and-play solution that reduced downtime, improved productivity and inventory accuracy, and supported the retailer’s long-term technology roadmap.
