Wavelink and Honeywell showcase joint mobile solution

Wavelink and Honeywell are undertaking a five-city roadshow across Australia and New Zealand to showcase their joint mobile solution for the retail and logistics industries.

With Wavelink modernising existing systems on Honeywell Android-enabled devices, training time is reduced for retail associates. This can be particularly important during peak shopping periods when large numbers of casual staff need to be brought up to speed as quickly as possible.

All devices contain the same data with which they have always operated as changes will only take place within the mobile application interface itself. This allows a single management platform to be used to control devices across all locations, reducing the load on IT staff. Overall, application and management silos can be reduced, further removing complexity and expense for the retailer.

Wavelink Country Manager for Australia and New Zealand Simon Storey said, “By partnering with Honeywell we are adding a new touch-based application interface. Information can be displayed and commands entered in an intuitive manner. Users no longer have to deal with complex green screen applications or understand strange abbreviations. Instead, they can interact with their device in the same way as they do with their personal smartphone or tablet.

“Our partnership with Honeywell also gives retailers and logistics companies a choice to modernise their business applications while retaining their investment in existing systems.”

“With the modern supply chain and retail workforce being predominantly mobile, the user experience of the mobile devices is what makes the difference between an efficient and inefficient team,” Honeywell SPS A/NZ country manager Tony Repaci said.

The roadshow will visit Auckland, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.
