Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), provides visibility into organisations’ assets, people and transactions, and has announced the launch of Zebra OneCare, a portfolio of support services that maximise the uptime and availability of Zebra mobile computers, printers, bar code scanners, RFID devices and wireless LAN (WLAN) infrastructure. The new flexible offering enables partners to grow revenue and expand relevance with end customers. Zebra also introduced the Operational Visibility Service (OVS), a new managed service that provides a platform and dashboard for at-a-glance visibility into Zebra mobile device asset performance and operational business performance.
OVS KEY FACTS
- OVS is built on Zebra’s Asset Visibility Platform—a cloud-based management and integration platform purpose-built for the management and control of business-critical assets. The platform enables visibility and deep, device-level control of assets to capture the data and provide the analytics that enable enterprise asset intelligence.
- The OVS Operational Dashboard delivers the data, analytics and visibility required to optimise investments, increase efficiencies and enhance the customer experience. In addition to the devices in operation, the OVS Operational Dashboard provides real-time updates on the status of devices as they move through the repair workflow.
- OVS provides actionable insight into device health, location, utilisation, operational trends and services to help businesses achieve maximum productivity and business performance.
- Zebra’s OVS can also help companies reduce support costs and maximise worker productivity through increased device utilisation and decreased mobile device downtime.
- OVS was designed to complement Zebra partner service capabilities – enabling partners to resell and rebrand OVS and recognise additional revenue opportunities while deepening customer relationships.
