iData Distribution, leading distributors of automated identification and mobile technologies for the reseller market, has partnered with integrated mobile computing solutions' specialists, Motion Computing, to become the first value-added distributor of Motion Tablet PCs in southern Africa.
Motion Tablet PCs are ideal computing solutions for mobile workforces. Rugged, lightweight and highly versatile with multiple integrated features, the tablets enable users to access, gather and share valuable data across mobile environments in industries such as health, hospitality, construction, field services, manufacturing, education, government, point-of-sale and distribution.
The rugged and powerful tablet PC offers full PC functionality in a highly durable, portable device, making it the ideal computing tool for field professionals.
Mobile users that rely on the ability to compute in the field will realise even more productivity benefits, including accurate customer information gathered on the road, simplified results tracking and reporting, while eliminating duplicate efforts, such as re-keying data.
With a 42% market share in the United States, Motion Computing's innovative solution is expected to lead the way, setting new benchmarks with the mobile workforce in southern Africa.
Enterprises are increasingly feeling the need to provide connectivity to their mobile workforce, with the number of global mobile workers expected to reach 200 million by 2013.*
Heinrich von Solms, Managing Director of iData Distribution, said: “The need for a variety of fast and easy to use mobility solutions for gathering and sharing data across field services is fuelling explosive growth in the worldwide mobile computing industry.
“Companies today depend on an increasingly mobile workforce and critical deals take place far beyond the walls of the traditional office. Over seven in 10 organisations are equipping mobile workers with mobile computing and communication devices.”
Motion Computing's Tablet PC is the industry leader, providing enterprises with the mobile computing power to improve the end-user experience, while optimising mobile workforce productivity.
