Xplore Rugged Tablets Become First Mobile PC Platform to Improve Beer Delivery Process for Largest Distributor in Caribbean

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xplore Technologies Corp.? (XPLR), manufacturer of the world’s most complete line of high quality rugged tablet computers, today announced that the largest beer distributor in the Caribbean has begun using Motion F5m by Xplore rugged tablets to track and schedule beer shipments among its 600 delivery trucks in the Dominican Republic. The company is also using F5m tablets to run an inventory control management application on its bottling lines and storage areas for the 20 brands it sells on behalf of its parent company, which is currently the largest beer distributor in Latin America and the fifth largest beer distributor in the world.

The Caribbean beer distributor, with the support of its parent company, first conducted a 30-day trial period to evaluate the performance of several manufacturers’ rugged tablet and handheld PC platforms across a series of distribution system workflows. Not only did the 10.4” F5m tablet meet the customer’s mandatory computer specifications – such as portability; a resilient, outdoor-viewable display; built-in barcode reader; and hot-swappable batteries – but it exceeded all rugged durability and connectivity technical requirements.

As a result, the parent company placed an order for F5m rugged tablets, along with carrying cases, extra batteries, and multi-bay chargers. Within just 60 days, their investment in Xplore’s solution delivered a 60 percent overall efficiency improvement across the Caribbean distributor’s six regional depots: Simply because they used the F5m tablets to automate the work order process and access real-time data shared between the trucks and the distribution centers.
