Xplore Technologies, Inc.

Business Situation

To save on clerical costs, our customer needed to replace conductors’ manual work-order reporting with an automated solution that would deliver inventory data directly to the company’s mainframe computer.

Solution

The customer deployed the rugged iX104 Tablet PC so that conductors could more accurately report work events and upload inventory data directly to headquarters from their work sites.

Benefits

• Saved an estimated U.S.$2.5 million annually in clerical costs
