Zebra has announced a trade-in program for 2024. The Go Zebra program allows customers to earn rebate cash when trading in used mobile devices, scanners, and label printers for new Zebra equipment purchases. Rebates vary by product, but can significantly defray your cost when upgrading to new devices.
Some examples of rebates which can be earned, when trading in:
Rebates are available for a broad range of products (and are available for competitive products as well). The full list of rebates is available here:
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Trade-In Program Benefits
Q: How can a trade-in rebate help us upgrade our frontline workers’ mobile devices when budgets are tight?
A. A trade-in rebate lowers the net cost of new Zebra mobile computers, tablets, scanners and printers by giving you cash back for the older equipment you retire. You can put those savings toward more devices, better accessories, or support and software that would otherwise be cut from the project. That way a phased refresh doesn’t have to wait for the next budget cycle, and more of your edge employees get current tools sooner.
Q: Do our old devices have to be Zebra products to qualify?
A. No. The Go Zebra program accepts eligible competitive products as well as older Zebra models. That matters if your fleet is a mix of brands picked up over the years. Trading in non-Zebra handhelds, scanners or label printers can bring your operation onto a single platform. One platform is easier for IT to deploy, secure and manage, and your workers only have to learn one set of devices.
Q: How much can we expect to receive for the devices we trade in?
A. Rebate amounts depend on the new Zebra product you buy. Some examples: $75 toward a TC52 handheld computer, $100 toward several Zebra tablets, $150 to $200 toward MC9300 and MC3300x mobile computers, and up to $550 toward a ZT620 industrial printer. Across a large fleet of scanners, handhelds or printers, those savings add up fast. CSSI can review your installed base and estimate your total rebate before you commit.
Q: Beyond cost savings, what operational benefits come from replacing older mobile devices?
A. Aging devices often run operating systems that are no longer supported, which creates security risks and compatibility problems with your WMS, ERP or other enterprise applications. Newer Zebra devices offer faster processors, better scanning performance, longer battery life, stronger Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity, and longer security update lifecycles. On the floor, that means fewer scan failures, less downtime, faster picking and receiving, and fewer devices waiting on repair. Those gains add up to better throughput and accuracy across the shift.
Q: What’s involved in taking part in the program, and how does CSSI help?
A. CSSI works with you to find which of your current devices qualify and match them to the right new Zebra products for your environment, whether that’s a warehouse, cold storage, manufacturing, or transportation and logistics. We also complete the rebate paperwork so you get your cash back from Zebra. Beyond the rebate, CSSI can help with device staging and configuration, rollout planning, and ongoing support, so your IT team isn’t carrying the upgrade alone.
