Datalogic refurbished units or new?
We’ll always choose the former if we can, and for good reason! A Datalogic refurbished mobile unit that’s been treated with care by an expert could be more affordable than a brand-new piece of tech and better for the environment.
First though, a word about the company before we put our case forward for why Datalogic refurbished units can be better than buying from new.
We’re big fans of Datalogic. In an industry where competition is fierce, their brand of mobile units sets the company apart thanks to their dynamic range.
Some of Datalogic’s units can be more lightweight than other brands – perfect for warehouse employees who need to use scanners on a regular basis and get a little bit fatigued from carrying heavier units around all day.
They can also be more affordable and come in a range of corded and cordless options, meaning that there’s likely to be a piece of Datalogic technology for any and every brand that needs mobile scanners, computers and more.
That agility from Datalogic though could prove to be a double-edged sword in some cases, especially regarding some of its more lightweight models.
Like all lightweight models from other brands we might add, accidents can happen, especially in a busy environment such as a warehouse or distribution centre. It’s not uncommon for units to be dropped during hectic periods, which could lead to a breakage or malfunction.
Though some of Datalogic’s range can be more affordable than other handheld scanners and computers on the market, if that scenario happens on a regular basis then ordering new units can add up over time and hit the budget hard.
Similarly, Datalogic’s tech like all the others on the market is full of small parts and batteries. Ordering from new means new units will have to be made, packaged and delivered which isn’t too friendly on the environment.
If you’re just throwing units you think are broken in the bin, too, then that won’t be too good for the climate, either. Which brings us to why we think a Datalogic refurbished lifestyle could be better for your business in lots of ways.
Datalogic refurbished units – when provided by an expert partner on a bespoke basis – could be more affordable than buying from new and better for the environment, helping to cut a business’s carbon footprint when compared against buying from new on a consistent basis.
The right partner (with an expert team at hand) will also be able to provide Datalogic maintenance solutions – again, on a bespoke basis – to make sure that units are always functioning properly and to keep them in good working order.
This partnership also helps keep the company’s workflows optimal should a problem with mobile hardware ever occur, with them on-hand to provide back-up units to ensure minimal disruption to workflows.
And they’ll know how to properly dispose of units that are beyond saving; again, a great solution for brands looking to better their company’s carbon-cutting commitments.
