Build complete WMS deployments for receiving, put-away, picking, packing, shipping, cycle counting and replenishment with rugged mobile, scanning and printing hardware.
Select the hardware category that best supports the application, environment and deployment workflow.
A successful warehouse management system deployment connects the software with rugged mobile computing, barcode scanning, label printing, mounting, charging and accessories. Start by mapping the physical workflow, then select hardware around each warehouse role.
Review supported operating systems, scan engines, printer languages, wireless requirements, label formats and accessories before building a repeatable warehouse hardware standard.
Identify where products, cartons, pallets and location barcodes are scanned throughout the warehouse so every device supports a clear operational role.
Match handheld, pistol-grip, wearable or vehicle-mounted computers to the worker, workflow, scan frequency, barcode distance and warehouse environment.
Choose scan ranges and printing equipment for product, location, carton, pallet, compliance and shipping labels at each point in the workflow.
Finish each warehouse configuration with charging, replacement batteries, vehicle power, mounts, straps, holsters, spare devices and standardized accessories.
ShopPOSPortal can configure receiving, picking, packing, shipping, forklift and inventory-audit packages using approved devices, accessories, printers, labels and charging infrastructure.
Use the table below to compare the mobile computing, barcode scanning, printing, mounting and connectivity requirements for receiving, put-away, picking, packing, shipping and cycle counting.
The same device family can often support multiple workflows while scan range, keypad, wearable accessories, mounting, printers and batteries are adjusted for each warehouse role.

ShopPOSPortal can create role-based configurations using consistent device families while adjusting scan range, keypads, wearables, printers, batteries, mounts and accessories for each workflow.
Start with a role-based warehouse hardware package, then adjust mobile computer form factors, scan ranges, printers, charging, mounting, labels and accessories around the WMS and facility.
Device models, keypad layouts, scan engines, printer types, batteries, vehicle mounts, charging quantities and spare-device requirements can be changed before pricing is prepared.
A practical warehouse hardware set for basic receiving, inventory, picking and parcel-shipping workflows.
Final pricing depends on the selected mobile computer, scanner, printer, accessories and media.
A rugged commercial configuration for busy receiving, put-away, picking, packing, replenishment and shipping operations.
Final pricing depends on device quantity, scan range, printer configuration, charging and accessories.
A standardized multi-role package for high-volume distribution, large workforces, forklift operations and complex WMS workflows.
Final pricing depends on role count, device quantity, RFID, charging infrastructure and rollout scope.
Each bundle can be divided into role-based configurations with different mobile computers, scan engines, printers, mounts, batteries, charging equipment and accessories.
