When Time is Money – It Adds Up
When choosing a mobile computer or barcode scanner, one of the last things on anybody’s mind is what kind of battery I should buy with my device. Even worse, sellers fail to explain how the battery alone can save a company on time, money and productivity.
Research shows that companies lose at least 20 minutes of productivity every time a battery is changed mid-shift. Here’s an example of what device downtime can cost:
- 500 devices in operation
- 500 devices x 1 battery failure each = 500 mid-shift failures per day
- 500 mid-shift failures x 20 minutes each = 167 hours lost each day
- 167 hours/day x $9.00/hour = $1,503.00 per day
- $1,503.00 x 360 days = $541,080 PER YEAR in lost productivity
Don’t take chances with your batteries – IPT Productivity+ Series batteries run 15% – 20% longer and guarantee 100% compatibility with OEM devices including Symbol, Zebra, Motorola, Honeywell, Intermec, LXE, Datamax-O’Neil and Vocollect.

Symbol Fills CVS Prescription for Wireless Communications
CVS Corporation is the United States’ largest retail drug store chain. CVS attained this position through aggressive marketing and growth strategies that included the acquisitions of rival chains, Arbor Drug and Revco. Headquartered in Rhode Island, the CVS organization currently counts over 4,100 stores operating in 28 states. CVS employs over 100,000 people and is still growing.
