Without clear, complete, and accessible data you are blindsided by problems that may disrupt work, increase security risks, elevate costs, and decrease productivity. You end up working in a reactive zone, putting out fires rather than preventing them.

We’ve already made the pitch here, here, and here for utilizing Zebra’s VisibilityIQ’s™ OneCare® and Foresight. But the foundation for both are the features of VisibilityIQ’s DNA.

The internal contents of hardware matters. And without embedded intelligence, devices are limited in their capabilities.

Zebra DNA gives Zebra devices expansive ability, producing extraordinary results. Devices “become powerful, productivity boosters and masters of smooth integration, simplified, secure management, and swift app development.”

Zebra’s VisibilityIQ™ DNA allows you to fully utilize key Zebra DNA tools – an exclusive and powerful set of software, applications, and utilities that transforms your Zebra mobile computers, scanners, and printers into true enterprise solutions.

Through VisibilityIQ DNA you can utilize DNA’s tools to streamline asset management; bolster efficiency and uptime; and ensure seamless integration.

STREAMLINE ASSET MANAGEMENT

VisibilityIQ DNA facilitates easier control of your key Zebra DNA mobile platform. By centralizing management with real-time visibility, you can see the activity and status of your assets faster with all the information you need to streamline management in the present and strategize proactively for the future.” Workers can instantly communicate to improve collaboration and decision-making.

A Solution with Clear Device Data to Help You Make Your Next Move https://imprint-e.com/a-solution-with-clear-device-data-to-help-you-make-your-next-move/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=a-solution-with-clear-device-data-to-help-you-make-your-next-move https://imprint-e.com/a-solution-with-clear-device-data-to-help-you-make-your-next-move/#respond Wed, 06 Nov 2019 13:43:40 +0000 https://www.imprint-e.com/?p=289659

The dependency on mobile assets in your business will continue to grow. And you already have an overwhelming number of devices and contracts to monitor and maintain. If these continue to grow, so does your guesswork since you don’t yet have a whole and clear picture of all these moving parts. Without clear, complete, and accessible data, you are blindsided by problems. Work is being disrupted, security risks rise as do costs, and productivity drops. As a result, you work based on how quickly you can react.

You can replace reactive with proactive with Zebra’s VisibilityIQ™ Foresight. Your data will suddenly be so readily available (and clear) that your next move will be obvious.

With VisibilityIQ™ Foresight, you’ll instantly know your mobile computing device metrics from a single pane of glass. You’ll have consolidated data allowing you to see the big picture. You’ll have the ability to pre-empt problems. And you’ll have the ability to turn that information into action.

CONSOLIDATED DATA THAT PAINTS THE BIG PICTURE

Foresight pulls from more data sources and stores it for longer periods of time than other services. It aggregates all that data into one single, color-coded, cloud-based pane of glass. With a user-friendly experience and the ability to navigate with fewer clicks you’ll find your own answers quickly (without having to call over the IT experts). You can also customize the views by roles to get the information that is most relevant to your needs. 

You’ll be able to access information including, predictive states, conditions, location, battery level, utilization, performance, physical and storage memory, health, WLAN signal strength, lost/stolen devices and newly activated ones. Plus, email alerts will keep you informed when you’re away from your computer. With color-coding notifications you’ll be able to tell in an instant the status of a device: red for immediate attention; yellow for precautions; and green for optimal conditions.   

PREEMPT PROBLEMS AND FORECAST NEEDS

Foresight collects historical data so you can catch problems early on as well as uncover patterns to improve operations before they impact business. The device data Foresight collects allows you to determine if your devices are ready for the workday: properly allocate resources (by indication of when and where to shift devices); avoid unforeseen downtime (by anticipating battery and device failure); and forecast season demands (by tracking season utilization trends.) With Foresight working by your side, you improve the well-being of your organization whether you’re in manufacturing, health, or retail.

You’ll eliminate manual tracking and instantly locate devices. You’ll ensure devices are ready and available for a worker’s full shift. You’ll increase uptime by preventing battery and device issues. And you’ll speed up remote device rollouts across multiple locations.

TURN INFORMATION INTO ACTION

With so much accessible, clear data in one single dashboard, you can view your own reports without having to call for IT. You can select the reports that are most relevant to your department or role or see in-depth and new operational and repair reports that keep you in-the-know and inform your next move. By maximizing efficiency through tracking the health, location, and utilization of active devices, you can cut expenses and stop overspending.

The information now available to you assists in understanding how to right-size your inventory; determine the load-balance of your devices; track loss or stolen devices; and/or eliminate unnecessary repairs – all of which can reduce your costs. 

Time to be proactive and know clearly your next move.

With consolidated data, you’ll see the big picture. With clear data, you’ll be able to preempt problems. With easy reports and management that doesn’t require an IT expert, you can turn information into action. VisibilityIQ’s™ Foresight allows you to reach higher levels of uptime, tighten security, slash costs, and push up productivity. Contact us and we’ll get you started.

Can Software Really Care for You and Your Equipment? https://imprint-e.com/can-software-really-care-for-you-and-your-equipment/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=can-software-really-care-for-you-and-your-equipment https://imprint-e.com/can-software-really-care-for-you-and-your-equipment/#respond Wed, 30 Oct 2019 13:05:21 +0000 https://www.imprint-e.com/?p=289626

If you are attempting to maintain and keep track of 30 or more contracts, chances are you’re struggling. You are probably operating without a comprehensive and central view of all this critical data which has you in the dark, and spending more time being reactive than proactive.

Technology Solutions that Won’t Keep You in The Dark https://imprint-e.com/technology-solutions-that-wont-keep-you-in-the-dark/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=technology-solutions-that-wont-keep-you-in-the-dark https://imprint-e.com/technology-solutions-that-wont-keep-you-in-the-dark/#respond Wed, 23 Oct 2019 04:01:21 +0000 https://www.imprint-e.com/?p=289558

You have way more plans and contracts then you can manage as on person. Their start dates, end dates, repair and replace statuses, and update requirements are a swarm of information that you just don’t have all in one place. There is no comprehensive and central view of all this critical data which has you feeling left in the dark, grappling to figure out what to do first (or next). With so many parts and pieces at various stages of their life cycles and no central oversight, you spend more time being reactive than proactive.

Without clear oversight, there’s more work disruptions, increased security risks, rising costs, and productivity deficiencies.

So, what if there was better technology and applications that could have you quitting old-school tracking methods and breaking up with your cluttered spreadsheets?

You can work smarter and make your life easier with Zebra’s VisibilityIQ™ technology. An amazing solution that will shed light on all those moving parts and pieces you’re trying to manage. Zebra’s VisibilityIQ™ suite of services (OneCare®, Foresight, and DNA) will have you running a tighter ship and always steering the course because you know exactly what’s on the horizon.

With VisibilityIQ™ you’ll know exactly your next move because you can see it clearly. 

ONECARE®

VisibilityIQ™ OneCare® service and support is a configurable web-based tool enabling series repair, support cases, contracts, and LifeGuard™ reports. It’s a part of the service agreement for mobile computers and scanners under any Zebra OneCare® Contract. Not sure if you have one of these agreements? Contact us fore more information. We can enable your portal once we’ve determined you have the right service agreement. 

OneCare® grants you visibility across repair data, technical/non-technical case data, contract information and LifeGuard™ analytics for Android devices. The dashboard is dynamic, personalized, and customizable. With a built-in automated interactive tool, you can replace manual reporting. There’s more data readily at your fingertips, such as relevant and usable info related to repairs, cases, contracts, and performance as well as, insights about security updates. Plus, the data is presented in a more digestible manner via graphs that can be set to monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting. Leveraging OneCare® maximizes your device uptime, secures your devices and data, and highlights repair status. If you’re already holding a OneCare® contract, you should be enabling your VisibilityIQ™ OneCare® portal and putting this tool to work today.   

FORESIGHT

With Foresight you can instantly know all your mobile computer device metrics from one single pane which helps you to streamline your workflows. In short, your data for all your mobile terminals (handheld, tablet, or mobile printer) is all on one single dashboard. You’ll be able to ensure your devices are ready and available for the workday. You’ll be able to forgo guesswork for data-driven decisions and predict issues before they impact productivity. With Foresight you can consolidate data, pre-emp problems, and turn information into action.

Essentially, you get to see the big picture because Foresight pulls from more data sources and stores it for longer time periods than any other device. Do note that currently Foresight only covers mobile terminals and vehicle mounts and requires a mobile device management (MDM) software such as SOTI or Air Watch.

DNA

Lastly,  Zebra’s VisibilityIQ™ DNA collects and delivers critical data allowing you for better decision-making. Through DNA you receive access to a full set of features, including: PowerPrecision Console (identifies your good batteries); Device Diagnostics; StageNow (rapidly configures your fleets); and WorryFree WiFi (strengthens your connectivity). These features create the foundation for the rest of the VisibilityIQ™ tools. With DNA you’ll gain access to actionable data that you can leverage to streamline asset management, increase uptime, and ensure seamless OS integration for new and legacy infrastructure.

THE FUTURE & FORECAST

The future is dictating more information and more proactive management of devices. You need better visibility of customer assets and better tools that may last you longer than before. Zebra’s VisibilityIQ™ technology will continue to advance and continue to offer you additional services to choose from to support the work you’re doing and the devices you manage. They will continue to advance IQ’s capabilities to offer you more and more data, connectivity, and oversight. In other words, Zebra is just getting started. They have established the groundwork for future versions. Their starting point is impressive, so just imagine the future possibilities and how that will impact the way you and your entire enterprise do business.

You can’t know your next steps if you can’t see clearly what’s right in front of you.
