Stop the Marathon! Boost Efficiency & Cut Costs

Stop the Marathon! Boost Efficiency & Cut Costs

12th September 2025

Are your warehouse operatives putting in Marathon-level steps just to access information? While their fitness might be improving, your logistics and supply chain efficiency is likely taking a hit.

Valuable time is often lost in the constant back-and-forth between fixed IT workstations and the warehouse floor.

The Real Cost of Static IT

Minutes or even seconds operatives spend walking to and from a stationary computer or printer is time not spent on core tasks.

These seemingly small increments of time add up significantly:

Based on a fixed overhead rate of £15 per hour, saving only 10 minutes can translate to an annual saving of approximately £5,000 per operative.

By deploying IT on mobile workstations, your team has instant access to all the IT resources needed, wherever they are in the warehouse.

And that’s just the beginning… By eliminating the unnecessary walking you’ll also see a reduction in overtime hours, further boosting cost savings.
