Tesco is the UK’s leading supermarket retailer. They wanted to improve many of their business processes, like stock and price control, customer services, and management information systems. Intermec devices were chosen for several different reasons.

For stock and price control, it was their staff that ultimately chose Intermec devices. They chose the Intermec 700 color series mobile computers with integrated scanning technology. Portable label printers are now also used throughout the store. After implementing Intermec products, their floor staff became 40% more effective.

Intermec products are also used behind the scenes in receiving to help stock accuracy. They’re able to view a store’s invoice on Intermec Pocket PCs, eliminating many paper processes.

Power Logistics uses a system based on the Intermec 2455 truck mounted computer to more efficiently provide frozen foods to Tesco. They chose the 2455 because of its ability to handle the extreme cold temperatures in the freezers where inventory is kept.
