Rising demands for reduced time in order and delivery processes means warehouse and logistic operations are under more pressure to keep goods moving quickly while also staying accurate and improving visibility. To make this possible, companies are implementing reliable technology that makes it possible to reach those demands with innovative capabilities. In fact, 80% of organizations are planning to invest in new technologies to be competitive. Rugged mobile devices are replacing legacy devices that are limited in their capabilities and are therefore insufficient to meet customer demands. On average, workers experience 30 to 40 minutes of downtime from device failure, and non-rugged devices are 5 times more likely to fail than rugged devices. This means that without rugged devices, your workers could experience more downtime, which will cause productivity to falter and slow down your shipping process. This in turn will cause businesses to miss customer demands. 

However, before choosing a mobile device, you need to consider what makes one ready for your organization. Mobile devices must meet these conditions to be ready for enterprise work:

1. Effective durability because a device for your enterprise needs to be equipped with a rugged design that can withstand tough conditions in warehousing and manufacturing environments.
2. Adaptability with different functions because a mobile device that can adapt to meet customer demands with flexible features helps your business stay prepared. 
3. Enhanced scalability is also important when considering a mobile device. This is because a mobile device’s operating system must be capable of meeting different wireless connectivity methods and security requirements to simplify ease-of-use. 

Implement capable devices built specifically for the enterprise.
