At first glance, you might wonder why it’s worth comparing mobile computers and smartphones. After all, many people assume that a smartphone can handle their business needs just fine. Whether they think their business is too small or only requires basic tasks like payment processing, we’re here to show you why a mobile computer might be the better choice.
Yes, a smartphone can easily collect payments, but have you considered data roaming? Smartphones are primarily designed to connect to access points indoors. For example, if you are in the hospitality industry and you are with guests outside, away from a WiFi connection, the process may not go as smoothly. This can be unreliable and delay workflow in a high-demand environment.
Additionally, smartphones break. We’ve all personally encountered cracked screens, water damage, or battery issues. This can be very stressful for a business, especially during a shift.
Now, let’s talk about barcode scanning. While smartphones typically use their camera to scan barcodes, our Urovo devices are equipped with a dedicated 2D imager. A true 2D imager is specifically designed to capture barcodes with higher speed and accuracy. It can read codes from wider angles, even in low-light conditions, and can handle damaged or poorly printed barcodes with ease. This is a crucial advantage in fast-paced environments like retail, warehouses, or logistics, where quick and reliable scans are vital.
Our Urovo devices are built to integrate into any industry, meaning you won’t run into these kinds of problems. All devices are equipped to withstand the toughest environments, and we prioritize battery durability and longevity. We understand the importance of roaming in both large and small warehouses, restaurants, and stores. The list goes on!
