Retail Solutions - Waitrose trials Symbol PCs in supply chain test

Waitrose is the first UK retail customer of a new Symbol ruggedised mobile computer, which the retailer is using in a supply chain pilot.

The MC9000-G is a fully-featured mobile computer, which allows full systems-level access to data, and incorporates peripherals, accessories, software and services that enable it to be tailored to supply chain needs.

Waitrose is assessing the system's ability to help improve stock estimate accuracy, but is planning to roll out investment in the unit to 143 other store and distribution centre locations.
