Workers who spend their days loading containers in ports and rail yards, delivering parcels across the country, or navigating busy loading docks all have one thing in common – the harsh conditions presented by working in outdoor spaces.
The mobile devices these workers rely on are exposed to the elements all day, which can have negative impacts on productivity. For example, a dropped device could end up cracked on the pavement or a deep puddle.
Aside from the device itself, outdoor environments are tough on barcodes, often resulting in damage that makes scanning impossible. It can also be hard for operators to see in the bright sunlight or pouring rain.
When workers face these roadblocks and need to manually process errors or call the help desk for assistance, this leads to lower productivity and dissatisfaction. This has flow-on effects further down the chain, potentially causing containers to be loaded late, or perishable goods to spoil due to shipping delays, for example.
To counter these issues, decision-makers are accelerating their investments in mobile technology to increase efficiency across the supply chain and future-proof their operations. Frontline workers’ relationship with technology has evolved dramatically in the last few years, with 93 per cent of decision-makers surveyed saying new technology is vital for attracting and retaining workplace talent, signalling a major shift in workforce priorities.
