Equipping factory managers with savvy mobile workflows
Connecting people across platforms
Dematic is the second-largest global supplier of material handling solutions in the world, equipping manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution operations with everything from conveyor systems to complex scanning technology. With its Americas headquarters in Grand Rapids, Michigan, long a hub for the company’s engineering and innovation work, Dematic exists to keep goods moving efficiently, whether across a single warehouse floor or an entire distribution network.
Dematic’s workforce moves constantly between client sites, and the company needed a way to keep employees connected to their tasks no matter where a job took them. Vervint designed and built a mobile web application framework that delivered key enterprise functionality on the go, giving Dematic’s team a native-feeling experience on whatever device they had in hand.
Reach a workforce that’s always on the move
Keep employees connected to their tasks and information no matter which client site they were working from.
Work everywhere, on any device
Build one mobile web framework that gave every employee a consistent, native-feeling experience regardless of device type.
Bring desktop-only workflows into the field
Move critical approval steps, once limited to desktop applications, into employees’ hands in real time.
A workforce without a desk
Dematic’s employees rarely sit still. Their work happens on client sites and factory floors, moving wherever conveyor systems and warehouse equipment need attention, which made it hard to keep everyone connected to the information and tasks that mattered most.
Vervint set out to close that gap with a mobile web application framework built to work the way Dematic’s people actually worked: on the go, on whatever device was in hand. Rather than building separate native apps for every platform, the web-based approach gave every employee the same dependable, native-feeling experience no matter what phone or tablet they carried.
Approvals, unchained from the desktop
The biggest win came down to a single, critical work step: approvals. What once required someone to be back at a desktop computer could now happen from a phone or tablet, in real time, wherever that person happened to be standing.
That shift rippled across Dematic’s key business workflows, letting employees move approvals and other essential steps forward the moment they were ready, instead of waiting to get back to a desk. The result is a more agile, better-equipped workforce, one that can keep projects moving at the same pace as the people doing the work.
With a mobile framework that keeps pace with a workforce that never stays in one place, Dematic is equipped to keep goods, and the people managing them, moving efficiently, giving factory managers and field employees the tools to get the job done wherever the work takes them.
