Retail staff/frontline logistics workers/ are under significant pressure: with increased role scope to serve omnichannel strategies, increased pressure from customers and battling through labour shortages. (In the UK, the sector has lost 15,000 workers this year alone). To navigate these challenges, effective store operations technology/logistics operations technology is essential.
A big part of these workers’ jobs revolves around data capture from barcodes, items or text, and sadly the scanning process for capturing data has been largely the same for decades – often manual or disjointed or restricted to single-code scanning on a mobile device.
Enter Scandit Express the latest innovation from the smart data capture leader which launches today – a simple no-code solution that instantly turns any iOS or Android device into an advanced smart data capture tool capable of scanning multiple barcodes and IDs at once, at speed, accelerating workflows by up to 10x, even formatting data automatically into a spreadsheet.
Taking advantage of familiar, cost-effective, and scalable smart devices, Scandit Express shifts tedious tasks to technology, eliminating errors and speeding data capture tasks so that workers can spend precious time on other higher-value activities. It doesn’t rely on investing time and money in software integration and can be deployed in less than 24 hours.
As Paul Cooper, head of technology at River Island, puts it: “From a technology perspective, it just worked… Now it is amazing – everything is quick, the prices are correct, and we can communicate with everyone individually.”
