End of Windows Mobile Support

Warehouses today are facing the challenge to meet growing demands of e-commerce. This can be resolved by accuracy and an increase in fulfillment speed. Another challenge warehouses will face as of 2020: Microsoft will end its support for Windows Embedded Compact and Handheld on January 14th, 2020. This leads to a higher safety hazard and a declining performance from your older Windows devices. Therefore, it is highly recommended to adjust to these circumstances as soon as possible and switch to an up-to-date, mobile device, as software updates and technical assistance will no longer be provided for the product.

It’s time to take a step forward and migrate to Android OS

The sooner you migrate the more is the opportunity to capitalize on the modern Android OS advantages and to enable your warehouses to work more effectively and faster. Google's operating system offers many features, developer tools and apps that make it suitable for professional use in warehouses. Additionally, Android OS enables an enhanced security and has the ability to interface within a company. What are you waiting for? Migrate to Android OS and meet the growing demands of e-commerce.
