Ivanti Unveils Study Showing Enterprises Ready to Transform Mobile Warehouse SolutionsSALT LAKE CITY, March 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Ivanti today announced the results of a survey of over 100 high-ranking warehouse professionals that indicate decision makers with mobile solution purchase are increasingly seeking to reevaluate and upgrade their mobile OS systems used in their warehouses. Ivanti recently contracted VDC Research to poll high-ranking professionals who are responsible for selecting mobile solutions or have specification responsibility for use in warehouses and distribution centers. The survey was completed by 107 qualified respondents across North America and Europe. A growing share of decision makers are either considering or have definite plans to migrate away from legacy Windows devices to run alternative operating systems. With a broadening selection of rugged mobile computers to choose from, many are closely eyeing Android. The increasing number of supply chain businesses that are considering an alternative mobile pathway indicates the need for a comprehensive mobile platform that provides telnet modernization and web app support for Android's growing base. "The demands on warehouse operators to increase productivity while tightening costs are ever increasing, and more companies are looking to do this by refreshing their supply chain mobility deployments," said Steve Bemis, vice president of mobile productivity at Ivanti. "And because current mobile operating systems will be out of service soon, making the change while minimizing disruption becomes essential." Ivanti's study discovered that even as order accuracy and labor optimization continue to rank as top priorities for warehouse improvement, they run parallel to the initiative of faster shipping. The leading pressure driving investment in mobile solutions was customer demand for faster orders (55.7 percent), followed by systems proving incapable to keep up with these orders (42.1 percent) and the high cost of labor (37.5 percent). These productivity metrics are the force driving enterprises to explore the latest mobile technology. Other key findings from Ivanti's study include the following:
