If you are an IT professional managing and provisioning many mobile devices, or if you are managing mobile devices spread across multiple locations, then you will likely benefit from an MDM tool. CSSI recommends the SOTI MDM solution for mobile device management.
Why Mobile Device Management?
SOTI MobiControl greatly simplifies mobility management. It enables you to secure and manage employee devices through a ‘single pane of glass’ interface – even if your devices are in varying form factors and from various manufacturers.
SOTI MobiControl is the proven leader at managing devices used in industries as diverse as warehousing, manufacturing, transport, logistics, field service, and more. The SOTI app saves time for IT pros with a mobile workforce. It enables a higher level of security and control of the organization’s mobile devices.
The SOTI One enterprise mobility management platform offers you a range of tools which will help you to improve security, reduce risk, and save time and effort managing far-flung mobile worker devices.
Just a few of the benefits of SOTI mobiledevicemanagement solution include:
Creation and enforcement of a common mobile device configuration
Simplified device enrollment and deployment of new mobile devices – provision devices in much less time, with total control
Improved mobile security and less wasted time – lock users out of an unnecessary app (such as YouTube)
Lockdown screens to control and simplify training – curate the mobile content available to users
Geofencing and alert triggers when devices roam outside accepted borders

Do you face challenging customer and regulatory requirements which require error-free labels? Honeywell’s new PX940V printer with an integrated label verification will eliminate costly fines and chargebacks.
Consider: if you produced 10 bad labels per year, each resulting in a $500 fine, that would cost you $6,000/year. The ROI on the PX940V is astounding, since it essentially eliminates the possibility of bad labels.
PX940V features integrated label verification technology which provides error-free printing and results in cost savings of $10k-$15k per printer
PX940V enables precision printing and reduces scrap
PX940V is easier to maintain and more reliable than past models

Sept. 26, 2019 — In a national press release issued today, leading AIDC industry manufacturer Zebra Technologies recognized CSSI’s implementation of a customized warehouse management system (WMS) at North Central Sight Services (NCSS).
As discussed in CSSI’s case study and video related to this project, NCSS provides services and employment opportunities to the blind and visually impaired from its base in Williamsport, PA. Operations include light manufacturing/assembly and warehousing. NCSS turned to CSSI due its struggles with outdated mobile computers and ineffeciencies in inventory management processes.
As part of the solution:
CSSI created customized warehouse management software specially adapted to the needs of users who were visually impaired.
CSSI, a certified Zebra Solutions Partner, utilized Zebra’s MC3300 Android mobile computer to ensure ease of use, computing power, and a long life cycle on the Android roadmap.
CSSI integrated the WMS and handhelds with the Dynamics GP / Great Plains accounting software used by NCSS. CSSI provides support and training for GP as part of its menu of services.

Honeywell’s Dolphin CK65 mobile computer is the company’s flagship entry within its powerful Android device line. Consult with CSSI for a hands-on personal demo of this powerful new Android device.
Are you struggling with inventory management and warehouse operations due to a sub-par (or non-existent) warehouse management system? The right WMS will not only help you maintain great inventory accuracy, it will also enhance the productivity of your users by streamlining their work and improving access to information.
CSSI created a WMS which was built from the ground up to run on modern Android mobile devices and integrate with the Dynamics GP accounting system (although it is capable of integrating with many other ERP’s). In the webinar video below, our team reviews the capabilities and features of this WMS:
