CSSI Device Lifecycle Management™ has multiple benefits:
Your internal IT team, which may be overloaded and/or lack proficiency in Android, is saved the burden of maintaining and provisioning Android devices.

Just
ten years ago, 70% of Americans relied on standard
“dumb” phones while over a 40% still dealt with either slow or no internet. In
a span of a decade, technology has seized every industry, amplifying
connectivity with new opportunities along with new challenges.
As the world becomes ever more connected, supply chains become ever more dynamic, requiring a higher degree of versatility from both your workforce as well as your mobile devices. To sustain optimal levels of productivity, next-generation devices readily adapt to changing work environments, giving your team a competitive edge to take productivity on the go. Enhancing the most demanding environments, CSSI partners with Zebra Technologies, to provide the most versatile mobile device in the market – Zebra’s L10 Rugged Tablet .
Where Can Productivity Go?
According to Zebra’s 2019 Field Operations Vision Study, mobile technology enhances customer service, employee productivity, order accuracy, and overall revenues when properly integrated. However, with so many options available, it may be difficult to select a mobile device that adequately meets all your needs…until now. Revolutionizing operations with three model formats (XSLATE, XPAD, and XBOOK), Zebra’s Rugged L10 tablets foster productivity by fitting multiple uses such as:
Inventory Management – Capture hard-to-read barcodes with a single scan using Zebra’s SE4710 scanner, preinstalled in the XPAD’s rugged handle. Manage and update stock quantities through one lightweight device, eliminating the need for multiple bulky technologies.
Compliance Reporting – A touch-screen keyboard can stall productivity if it’s too small. A bigger keyboard impacts portability. Simplify reporting with the XBOOK’s lightweight 2-in-1 laptop replacement for heavy data entry. Complete reports while on site with a removable keyboard for easier mobility.
Technical Support and Evidence Documentation – Equipped with a 5MP color front-camera, L10 Tablets elevate video-calls with crisp imaging for personable tech support. Empower field service workers with a 13MP color rear camera perfected for proof-of-condition/delivery/service.
Dispatch and Route Planning – Since all L10 models are compatible with multiple networking options, tracking shipments and securing application performance is simpler thanks to long-range WiFi and 4G LTE. Create reliable communication channels within the warehouse with Push-to-Talk Express, functional right of the box on all Android models.
From
stronger internet connectivity to its unmatched rugged exterior, Zebra’s L10
Tablets maximize productivity anywhere your workforce goes. Witness innovation

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
