ACCURATE PICKING PROCESS
FOR FASTER DELIVERY

Gear4music Success Story

ProGlove´s Solution for Retail and eCommerce

Consumers are buying more and more online. The booming e-commerce business leads to a steep increase to already fluctuating overall shipment volumes. The adoption of wearable barcode scanners has proven its effectiveness in optimizing Gear4music’s picking process. Not only do workers have their hands free with the elimination of bulky pistol scanners, they don’t need to rely strictly on visual list information to match orders to goods any longer.


INDUSTRY CHALLENGE: Managing this shift in demand and the consumer expectations around delivery timelines means every second counts when picking, packing, and fulfilling orders. Static workstations and legacy hardware impede productivity and result in processes that can’t keep up to the rapid fluctuations in consumer demand.

SUBSTANTIAL RESULT: By upgrading to a mobile-first strategy and enabling workers with untethered wearable solutions from ProGlove, retailers are realizing efficiency gains and error reduction across their operations. By making their existing workforce more efficient, they can spend less time hiring more personnel and more time enabling the staff they already have.


ProGlove’s unique wearable solution with its flexible integration into a wide variety of hardware and software solutions make for an ideal scanner to meet the challenges of the new retail and ecommerce landscape. From picking, packing, to order fulfillment and managing bulky goods, the right tools can make all the difference for your workers, and for your retail business. These newly enabled workers are better prepared to manage fluctuations in demand and have the tools they need to be successful in a challenging work environment.

In order to face our process challenges, the new solution needed to be effortless for the operatives, it could not slow them down or cause them discomfort.
