Improve ROI with Mobile Printers

Posted by Dean Sanders, Zebra Technologies Guest Contributor On October - 9 - 2009

“What’s the return on investment?”

This is perhaps the most frequently uttered phrase in the corporate world. When companies don’t see ROI, they have a hard time justifying an expense. That’s why employers like mobile printers – the return on investment is often quick and always clear.

ROIHere is how four companies realized ROI after implementing DecisionPoint’s wireless mobile printers:

  • A pharmacy chain that makes 300 weekly SKU changes per store compared the cost of printing shelf labels with a laser printer versus a mobile thermal printer. The mobile printers ended up saving the pharmacy chain more than $3,000 per store, per year. They realized a full return on their investment within four months.        
  • A 100-store retail chain, using five terminal printer units per store, saw cable replacement costs approaching $60,000 per year. By switching to wireless mobile printing, this cost was eliminated and the chain realized a return on their investment within nine months
  • A magazine and periodical distributor switched from paper forms to mobile computers and mobile printers to record daily sales/returns and issue receipts on its routes. It reported almost an immediate return on investment because of the labor savings from data entry, counting returns and correcting errors
  • A strawberry company used wireless printers right at the receiving dock to issue goods receipts to strawberry growers rather than processing tons of paperwork in a central office. They were able to reduce the time they needed to process transactions by 25 percent and produced a rapid return on their investment.
