Hardware scanning
Laser and RFID triggers instead of lining a camera up, at the volumes depot work actually involves.

Where a phone camera is too slow or too fragile, the driver and dispatcher app runs on rugged Android handhelds with hardware scanners — laser and RFID — and behaves the same as it does on a phone.
01/Why it matters
A camera scan is fine occasionally. Through a morning of round preparation, crate by crate and parcel by parcel, the difference between a camera and a laser trigger is the difference between the depot clearing on time and not.
Laser and RFID triggers instead of lining a camera up, at the volumes depot work actually involves.
Rugged handhelds built for warehouses and vehicles rather than consumer phones in cases.
The same flows the app provides on a phone, so training and configuration do not fork by device.
02/Features
Supported on Zebra, Chainway C71 (laser and RFID), M3 and standard Android, alongside the camera scanner.
Scan a round into preparation and check every item against it before the vehicle is loaded.
Dispatchers scan items arriving at the hub and mark them received against their task.
Confirm the right items are being handed over at the door, not only the right stop.
Scan returned and rejected products at the end of a round, against the product catalogue.
Receive a task or a round from another driver by scanning it.
Where you allow it, a driver can create a round from the handheld itself.
03/In context
Which flows are available depends on the device's scanner. RFID models cover item scanning; laser and camera cover hub and task scanning.
