Any company with remote employees in field service and logistics operations will find the Field Operations Vision Study valuable! In 2019, CSSI partner Zebra Technologies commissioned a global survey of organizations with field operations in the service categories of field service, fleet management, field sales, direct store delivery and merchandise courier services. These companies were asked how they are evaluating and using mobile technology designed for business use as well as emerging technologies to respond to market and technological trends impacting field operations.

  • For 58%, mobility investment is a top priority
  • The number of field operations personnel doing less than 20% of their work with paper-based systems will rise by 46% by 2023
  • The use of handheld computers with built-in barcode scanners is forecasted to grow by 45% by 2023. Mobile printer use will rise by 53%.

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 NCSS turned to CSSI due its struggles with outdated mobile computers and ineffeciencies in inventory management processes.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.

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:
