People, including the people who serve as your store associates, enjoy solving problems. Okay, maybe not that one guy – we’ll consider him the exception to the rule – but, in general, people feel a sense of accomplishment when solving problems, particularly the problems faced by others. When your store associates are empowered to solve…
Mobility of printing – the ability to bring the printer to the task versus bringing the task to the printer – has the potential to change countless aspects of our lives, whether in the context of a retailer/consumer sale on one end of the spectrum, or of a government agency/citizen interaction on the other. Even…
I’ve already dedicated several posts to Retail 2D, a white paper written by London-based Honeywell Marketing Manager, Enzo Capobianco, in large part because it opened my eyes more fully to the dynamics of the mobile-oriented consumer and the resulting potential of mobile marketing strategies. Capobianco terms them the New Connected Shoppers, and I agree that…

The village of Forrest Hill has less than 500 citizens, yet is home to more than 60 commercial nurseries, most of which are large, wholesale/retail operations representing the culmination of multi-generation family endeavors. The typical Forrest Hill nursery encompasses business functions ranging from production to warehousing to direct wholesale and retail sales to multi-state wholesale…
Honeywell Scanning & Mobility’s white-paper library is a resource I refer to regularly in my effort to stay abreast of the rapidly evolving mobile computing and scanning industry. With so much data and frivolous opinion populating the Internet, it’s reassuring to know that Honeywell’s findings are based on proven data evaluated by industry leading experts….
In a recent blog post inspired by Zebra Technologies’ white paper, Wireless Printing Delivers Efficiency and Cost Savings in Retail, I recalled the bad-old days when the mobility of every electrical appliance was limited by the length of its heavy power cord.
