Consider a typical sales call for a wine rep with hundreds of SKUs and tight inventory control. The light (2.2lb) and compact Marathon is easier to maneuver in narrow aisles than the standard ruggedized laptop, yet the 7.1” touchscreen is still large enough to pull up planograms and product information to share with the retailer. The available bolt-on 2D imager scans barcodes that are checked against inventory and order history using the Marathon’s Gobi WWAN radio connection. The built-in camera snaps hi-res pictures of an existing endcap display. When it’s time to complete the call, the store manager signs onscreen. If the merlot spills during the delivery, the Marathon stands up with a rugged IP-65 rating and 4’ drop spec. And when it’s time to move on to the next customer, the rep pops the Marathon back into its vehicle dock, with real-time, cell-assisted GPS providing directions.
