“With the Zebra TC70, we have an exceptionally powerful and easy-to-use device
in the hands of our staff around the country. It has radically improved staff
efficiency, allowing our teams to complete tasks on the floor at a much faster
rate. We were impressed by the smartphone-style functionality and liked the
idea of using an Android-based program to power them, which we felt would
provide better futureproofing and minimise future outlay. Most importantly, is
that we have 14,000 happier staff now – and that speaks volumes to how
effective Zebra’s solution has been.”
