The worlds’ most popular mobile platform, built for business

Within the next five years,
companies using handheld enterprise devices will have to move from Windows to
Android, which will be one of the biggest industry platform shifts ever.
Microsoft has begun to slowly phase out from their Windows mobile and CE Operating Systems
and therefore will no longer have automatic fixes, updates and security patches
which puts you in at a risk of security breach. Microsoft recently announced
they are ending support for all, existing Windows OS devices in 2020. Switching
to a new platform before then, will future proof your business but also provide
the best chance for a seamless integration.

Android is the mobility powerhouse
that is used by billions of people across the world. Widely found on a number
of devices from smartphones, wearables, mobile computers, tablets and more,
making Android the world’s most popular mobile operating system. Some reasons
for the switch includes the fact that many businesses expect industrial
handhelds to have a similar user experience as smartphones. The ease of use of
Android, not to mention the familiarity with it means it is a logical choice
when it comes to selecting a mobile operating system for businesses. This will
result in lowered training cost, more modern and optimised touch applications,
the flexibility to develop their own apps for workers and clients. Resulting in
an easy transition to Android.

There are millions of handheld
devices that delivery people, store clerks, warehouse workers often carry to
manage inventory, process orders and verify delivery. These are commonly found
in
