The TC25 series offers a number of significant advantages over
the pen and paper systems and consumer smartphone solutions in wide
use among tradesmen, couriers, direct store delivery teams and
merchandisers. The device’s durable exterior and powerful battery
allow it to work the entire day, with a powerful onboard processor
that runs the latest enterprise-class applications for job
tracking, navigation and messaging. The TC25 is available through
Zebra’s existing global reseller base and also a select number of
mobile operators including Telefonica Spain.
KEY FACTS
- Durable and long lasting: The
TC25 is designed to withstand heat and cold, dusty environments and
accidental drops, reducing costly repairs while ensuring longer,
more productive use.
- Scanning as it should be: The
TC25 delivers the same Zebra 2D barcode scanning technology that
powers many of the world’s best field service teams. It can
accurately capture barcode information, even where labels are
faded, damaged or dirty. Based on Zebra testing, the TC25 can
capture barcodes substantially quicker than the cameras on consumer
smartphones, saving time and making site visits more
efficient.
- Effortless data capture and
share: Zebra’s DataWedge is pre-installed on all TC25 devices,
allowing businesses to send barcode data to their existing apps
with no additional time required for additional programming.
- Longer lifespan: With Zebra
OneCare™ SV for the TC25 and LifeGuard™ for Android™ support,
extended security updates ensure the security of the operating
system at all times over the lifespan of the TC25.
- Easier collaboration: Zebra’s
Workforce Connect PTT Pro voice solution gives the TC25
walkie-talkie functionality, enabling instant PTT (Push-to-talk)
calls between the TC25s and other compatible Zebra mobile devices,
iPhones, iPads and select Android smartphones. Organizations can
always reach their workers, providing teams with the collaboration
required to improve customer service and workforce
productivity.
- Power that lasts all shift: A
complete range of accessories is provided which includes a hand
strap, holster, snap-on power pack to support continuous use and a
snap-on trigger handle which allows staff to use the TC25 for a
wide range of tasks with reduced strain and improved efficiency.
Ultra-versatile charging cradles enable the charging of multiple
devices and power packs at once.
SUPPORTING QUOTES
Antonio Fuentes, Operational Director, Correos Express
Spain
“Correos Express selected Zebra’s TC25 because it was the ideal
device for our operations in distribution centres. The ruggedness
along with a built-in scanner, all day battery and Point of
Delivery capability in a cost-effective form factor were the
features that we needed to improve the productivity of our couriers
and delivery capacity to respond to our customers demand. We
look forward to working with Zebra as we continue to deploy the
TC25 to our couriers.”
David Krebs, Executive Vice President, Enterprise Mobility
& Connected Devices, VDC Research
“Small- and medium-sized businesses have to-date lacked the
option of a purpose-built device that can reliably perform in
remote or inclement conditions. The TC25’s durable design,
long-lasting battery, robust scanning capabilities and options for
extended care and life cycle support present an attractive
proposition for these previously underserved businesses.”
Joe White, Vice President and General Manager, Enterprise
Mobile Computing, Zebra Technologies
“Our new durable smartphone was created to provide fast
solutions that quickly and reliably resolve complex problems and
ensure smooth communication in the field. As an alternative to
outdated, and often inaccurate, pen and paper systems as well as
flimsy and fragile consumer devices, the new TC25 provides smaller
businesses a competitive advantage.”
