Mobile alternative to onboard computers

GVT, part of ID Logistics since 2021, updated its hardware and software for logistics processes in collaboration with Reverse IT. Thanks to new Zebra scanners and mobile device management, the transport company can now operate more efficiently. In this article, we’ll tell you more about this successful partnership.

ID Logistics optimizes drivers and distribution with Zebra TC26 and MDM

At the end of 2020, ID Logistics began collaborating with Reverse IT to replace their existing onboard computers with a mobile, future-proof alternative.

For the trial phase, Reverse IT provided Zebra TC26 Android PDAs and implemented the SOTI MobiControl EMM platform for centralized and remote device management. During the testing period, Reverse IT offered extensive technical support, demonstrations, and guidance, ensuring a smooth transition.

Three focus points

According to Chris Sauerbier from ID Logistics, three main goals guided the hardware upgrade:

Improved solution for drivers
Optimized goods registration process
Better manageability and support for the IT department

The combination of Logi-App software and the robust MDM system plays a key role. With SOTI MobiControl, installations are automated, software updates and security patches are deployed centrally, and the IT department can provide remote support. Reverse IT also secured the Android environment to prevent unauthorized use of the PDAs.

Equipping all drivers

After a successful trial phase, all ID Logistics drivers have been equipped with the Zebra TC26. These compact PDAs offer:

Fast 1D/2D scanning
Reliable performance for Logi-App
Durability and portability for daily use

The complete package of both hardware and MDM software is now fully operational and satisfactory: “We are very pleased with the practical solutions Reverse IT has provided. They are a great sparring partner with extensive expertise,” concludes Sauerbier.
