President Theodore Roosevelt once said, “When you play, play hard. When you work, don’t play at all.” And while some people might still subscribe to that idea, the reality is that when you play at work, you often work harder – often without even realizing it. That’s because we’re a gaming society, and gamification is how we make the hard things more enjoyable, like exercising our bodies and brains, eating right, getting enough sleep, and managing our money.

As I talk to many SAP customers looking to migrate from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA to better support frontline workers and back-office processes, a key question often arises: Should I choose SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) or Stock Room Management (SRM)? Ultimately, the best option for your business depends on how complex your warehouse and inventory management needs are and whether you truly need the added capabilities of EWM at the added cost of an additional software license.

Born as an online bookstore, the company has more recently transformed the world by making goods and services easily accessible to anyone with a computer or smartphone – and inspiring others to do the same. What made Amazon different from traditional brick-and-mortar stores wasn’t just that you could buy online.

It’s no secret that demand planning is a critical component in managing a consumer packaged goods (CPG) company. To achieve success in this competitive market, you must anticipate and meet customers' needs efficiently.

After my last post about responsible AI practices, some people rightfully inquired about Zebra’s practices. So, I thought it would be best to answer these questions publicly. The first thing I want to stress is that our underlying Code of Conduct, company policies, and departmental procedures provide the foundation for everything we do at Zebra.

If you're assessing a new machine vision project and you want to get it right, there’s only one thing you must do: Ask the right questions. It’s that simple. The likelihood of nailing the perfect solution without completing a thorough assessment is low, and the likelihood of completing a thorough assessment is low if you don’t ask the right questions of every consultant, technology provider, and integrator every time.

At Zebra, we're committed to empowering teams with the mobility and insight to deliver at the cutting edge of excellence. More than just providing intelligent hardware, we offer solutions that give organizations complete visibility to make smart, nimble decisions about what action to take now, and how to plan for tomorrow.
We give you the performance edge to go above and beyond:
- Empowering teams to do their very best work: Our solutions provide real-time insight that allows workers to make informed decisions in the heat of the moment. When workers are equipped with crystal-clear operational visibility, they're also empowered to make the most of every minute they have, every decision they make, and every customer they serve–from the front lines to back of the house, and at every point in between.
- Powering IoT connections that are the building blocks of growth: Our ecosystem is built on IoT connections that drive industry foward–from the technology itself to the people who use it, to the end customers we all ultimately serve. We offer solutions designed to meet the needs you have today, and the agility to scale for tomorrow. Because when your systems, your people, and your information can stay connected as your needs evolve, the potential for growth is endless.
- Making your data work harder for you: Data informs our decisions, our priorities, and our actions. It is driving the future, across industries, and how we choose to use it matters. Our solutions bring people and technology together to maximize data and the insights derived from it. Businesses are freed from inefficiency, so they can focus on what really matters. And workers intuitively know what action to take next.
Where innovation meets purpose. Where action becomes evolution. Where vision drives experience.
