Business reimagined: Samsung’s Virtual Experience addresses today’s tech
Coming March 4, 2021, Samsung V/X Live is a free content-rich virtual conference and networking event for businesses of all sizes.
For logistics, warehouse and delivery professionals, inventory apps bring significant value and time-savings, especially when paired with a rugged smartphone. As new rugged phones come to market, apps developers are stepping up with a range of tools to leverage the value of these versatile devices in harsh and challenged environments. From warehouse settings where drops are always a risk, to delivery routes where phones can be exposed to weather and other perils, inventory apps on a rugged device can smooth out business processes and improve efficiencies.
These apps can be critical to driving business outcomes. “Tracking inventory from the loading dock to the moment it goes out the front door requires accurate inventory control,” according to the developers of AdvancePro Inventory. “Without it, you could have thousands of dollars on your shelves or inventory losses due to theft or waste.”
When rugged devices deliver mission-critical apps in the warehouse, business leaders are better able to make data-driven choices, avoiding the perils of haphazard management. “There can be a lot of second-guessing when decision-making isn’t driven by facts. Demand planning, forecasting and asset management all benefit from solid information,” note the developers of topShelf.

None of these top inventory apps require a rugged device, but all benefit from the rise of ruggedized smartphones.
In the past, warehouse and delivery personnel took a risk any time they brought a smartphone to the work site. Devices often couldn’t stand up to the harsh environment.
With the arrival of MIL-SPEC phones, the factors that have challenged this sector in the past — drops, dust, rain, temperature changes — no longer spell doom for a smartphone. With the latest rugged devices, logistics and supply chain workers across the enterprise can get the most out of their apps, driving efficiency and productivity across the boards.
