FREMONT,
Calif., July 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Socket
Mobile (NASDAQ: SCKT), a leading provider of data capture and
delivery solutions designed to enhance workplace productivity, is
excited to announce the launch of the XtremeScan Mag XG640, a
rugged scanning solution designed to transform operations in the
transportation and logistics sectors. The XG640 delivers
exceptional scanning performance and easily integrates with the
employee's phone (Bring Your Own Device - BYOD) using a secure
magnetic attachment system, providing the optimal solution to
enhance efficiency and convenience in mobile workforces.
Last-mile delivery is a $132B
market, growing at 8.8% CAGR and expected to double in size by
2030. The XG640 is designed to meet the unique needs of SMBs and
independent drivers within this growing market, offering a
versatile, cost-effective scanning solution that drivers can use
with their personal mobile devices. The XG640's innovative BYOD
magnetic design, combined with the rugged durability of Socket
Mobile's XtremeScan product line, makes it an ideal solution for
modern delivery operations. It empowers drivers to utilize their
smartphones for navigation and communication when driving and
combined with the XG640 for efficient scanning during deliveries
and operations.
"Traditional delivery operations often require separate devices
for barcode scanning and communication, leading to inefficiencies,"
said Dave Holmes, Chief Business
Officer at Socket Mobile. "The XG640 solves this by allowing users
to keep using their own device, maintaining comfort and familiarity
while adding high-performance barcode scanning for deliveries. It
ensures easy attachment and detachment of the phone or tablet to
the scanner, bringing the power of Socket Mobile's scanners to
every mobile device in the market. By eliminating the need for
separate devices, the XG640 provides an all-in-one, adaptable
solution that seamlessly integrates with apps and enhances the user
experience—ensuring smoother and more productive delivery
operations."
The XtremeScan Mag XG640 enables a BYOD strategy that offers
significant cost savings for transportation and logistics
companies. The majority of trucking companies – more than 135,000
in the US — have less than 20 employees and rely heavily on
independent drivers. Purchasing and maintaining expensive,
single-use mobile computers can be impractical for these smaller
companies. By allowing drivers to use their own mobile devices, the
XG640 provides last-mile delivery companies with the opportunity to
reduce capital expenditures, onboarding time and costs, and
maintenance costs. For employees, the XG640 provides the
convenience of using a familiar device for both work and personal
use, allowing them to tailor their workflow to their needs. This
practical approach results in thousands of dollars in savings while
enhancing overall efficiency and user satisfaction.
Application developers who wish to integrate the XtremeScan Mag
XG640 can do so through Socket Mobile's CaptureSDK. For app
developers who have already integrated CaptureSDK, the XG640 is
already natively supported.
The XtremeScan Mag XG640 is available for Pre-Order now through
the Socket Mobile Website with an MSRP of $899 and will be shipping in September. App
developers can request early samples here.
