Ducit Improves Worker Productivity And Delivery Speed With Zebra Mobile Solutions

Zebra Technologies Corporation, an innovator at the edge of the enterprise with solutions and partners that enable businesses to gain a performance edge, today announced that DUCIT, an Argentinian delivery company that specializes in the transportation of valuable goods, selected Zebra rugged mobile computing solutions to increase worker productivity and improve real-time visibility into deliveries.

Zebra Technologies, and PartnerConnect partners Neptune and Boreal, helped DUCIT digitize their supply chain by integrating real-time information from their enterprise-class mobile devices into their SAP platform. DUCIT drivers are using Zebra’s rugged Android™-based TC56 mobile computer and L10 tablet to ensure faster and more secure deliveries at 200 locations across Capital Federal and Gran Buenos Aires. DUCIT’s drivers capture information regarding the transported goods including proof of delivery (PoD) in real time enabling decision makers to optimize routes and improve operational visibility.

“Zebra’s rugged field mobility solution has allowed us to increase worker productivity and improve our operational efficiency,” said Fernando Roma, CIO of DUCIT. “By gaining real-time visibility into our deliveries, we have improved the security of our client’s valuables and increased the safety of our drivers.”

DUCIT focuses on safety and aims to provide a safe environment for its workers and customers. Zebra’s rugged field mobility solution helps reduce risk for DUCIT’s drivers by providing the best routes between deliveries along with visibility throughout their trips. Zebra’s mobile solutions also allow DUCIT to significantly improve the efficiency of their operations by eliminating manual data entries - reducing the time spent on order entries.

“By customizing our software to fit its operational needs, DUCIT has automated the picking and delivery process as well as on-route operations, enabling it to become the first valuables transportation company in the market to fully digitize its supply chain,” said Jose Latorre, Neptune Sales Manager for Argentina.

The Zebra TC56 mobile computer has also automated delivering and picking processes for DUCIT’s drivers, resulting in increased productivity and less errors. Drivers can easily capture barcodes placed on the valuables and automatically communicate data back to the corporate office. The L10 rugged tablet offers information to drivers about the best route for their deliveries and streamlined communication with headquarters.

With Zebra’s Mobility DNA suite of end-user applications, application development tools and utilities, DUCIT has been able to simplify management, strengthen security and reduce training and adoption time. “Zebra and our partners give a performance edge to help those on the front line of business succeed,” said Alejandro Prosperi, Sales Director, Zebra Technologies in Argentina. “With Zebra mobile solutions, transportation and logistics companies such as DUCIT can optimize operations to deliver flawlessly while providing customers with the speed, accuracy and real-time tracking they expect.”
