Current Hard Drive Shortage

noreply@blogger.com (Shari) — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 22:41:00 +0000

For this reason, we recommend ordering early for any fulfillment needed in the first quarter of 2012. We also suggest considering current in-stock configurations as alternatives to any custom builds you may be planning to purchase in the future.

Do Rugged Computers Cost More or Less?

noreply@blogger.com (Stephanie) — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 16:12:00 +0000

On a fairly frequent basis, Group Mobile provides a price quotation to a prospective customer on a ruggedized computer…and when we follow-up the prospect says something like, "Well, the decision was made to buy commercial computers since the ruggedized computers were higher in price. We felt like we could save quite a bit of money and if the plastic computers break, we can just buy new ones and we would still save money over buying ruggedized equipment."

Then invariably, a few weeks or months later, the same person calls back and says something like, "I guess we are ready for those ruggedized computers now. We tried the commercial plastic computers and they were failing every couple of weeks. Our guys were 'down' and without their computers for days at a time. It was costing us a fortune in lost productivity, not to mention the hassle of losing data and having to constantly re-load our software on the repaired computers."

So why does this scenario repeat itself over and over again? We can only blame ourselves…the people who are involved in manufacturing and selling rugged, mobile computers. We have not done a great job of educating people about the necessity of ruggedization when using a computer in a vehicle, in a factory, in a warehouse, in a service bay, or out in the field. Construction companies, utility departments, service, repair, inspection, delivery companies, police departments, etc, think nothing about spending thousands of dollars for the equipment specialized for their job or their business, but balk when it comes to buying specialized computers. They are just not fully aware that commercial grade computers are not designed for vehicle, warehouse or field use.

We all know that there is a difference in price and cost. The price is what you pay up front for an item. The cost is what you spend over the course of the life of the item. Rugged computers are priced higher but cost less. The primary reasons for this are less down time, less lost data, fewer repair costs and increased worker productivity. Obviously, this is only true when said computers are to be used in or on a vehicle, in a dusty dirty environment, in a hot or cold environment, outdoors, or on-site.

In every job there is a right and a wrong tool for the job. Commercial portable computers are perfect for indoor, white-collar, taking home at night, or flying on a business trip. Rugged mobile computers are the right tools for those with jobs in demanding environments. Rugged computers actually cost less! Read More...

Trimble Nomad Extended Warranty Promotion

noreply@blogger.com (Shari) — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 22:18:00 +0000

For a limited time, all Trimble Nomad Handheld Computers will come with an additional one year of Extended Warranty coverage. This promotion applies to purchases made between September 1, 2011 and October 31, 2011.

This extended warranty covers accidental damage in addition to the standard warranty. Accidents happen, particularly in challenging outdoor environments, and having an "Extraordinary" Extended Warranty can give customers extra peace of mind.

Every Nomad handheld comes with a standard manufacturer warranty so, with this promotion, purchasing an Extended Warranty upgrades the standard manufacturer warranty to include accidental damage coverage, and the length of the warranty period is extended by the length of the Extended Warranty purchased. For example, when you purchase a 24-month Extended Warranty, it is in addition to the 12-month manufacturer warranty period, resulting in 36 months of Extended Warranty coverage. During this special promotion, you get an additional one year of Extended Warranty coverage at no additional cost.
