MakeMeMobile, a leading specialist in providing mobile enterprise solutions, announced its recent appointment by Vocollect by Honeywell as a Total Solutions Partner. Kallie van den Berg, Coastal Director of MakeMeMobile commented: "Vocollect voice solutions are used by nearly one million mobile workers who process more than $5 billion of products every day in challenging industrial environments as an effective means of stock control, picking and replenishment. The opportunities for voice technology in the workplace in our South African environment are enormous, especially in warehouses and distribution centre operations.
"As a Vocollect Voice Total Solutions Partner, we are fully trained and authorised to sell and implement the full range of Vocollect Voice solutions. Additionally, we recently have been trained and accredited as a Vocollect repair centre, allowing us to fully support and maintain Vocollect Voice Solutions hardware."
Piet Kessels, business development manager, Benelux and South Africa for Honeywell, commented: "We are confident that MakeMeMobile's extensive experience over the years in voice-enabled technology - coupled with their implementation and support capabilities - will enable them to deliver the highest level of Vocollect Voice Solutions and support to customers in the supply chain across South Africa. This supports our global PartnerNet programme to attract the best partners in the different regions."
"As a Total Solutions Partner for Vocollect Voice Solutions," added van den Berg, "we can offer our customers a competitive edge in their supply chain to reduce their operating costs, while supporting increased workforce productivity and greater worker accuracy. Our recently awarded contract for the supply and support of Vocollect Voice at one of Africa's largest retailers bears testimony to the benefits that voice-directed work solutions bring to the workplace."
Vocollect Voice Solutions operate using voice prompts and worker responses, where the worker wears a headset and the data is seamlessly integrated with existing WMS and ERP IT investments. "Vocollect solutions minimise the need for screens or keyboards because voice is able to more efficiently confirm steps in a workflow process, allowing workers to operate with both hands-free and seamlessly integrate with scanning equipment," said Kessels.
