Consumer-grade tablets fail in warehouse conditions. Drops onto concrete. Dust in the ports. Vibration from forklift cab mounts. Temperature swings between cold storage and the loading dock. Battery life that doesn’t make it through a 10-hour shift. Operating systems that go out of support after 18 months, leaving you with $400 bricks that no longer run your WMS.
Rugged mobile computers are infrastructure, not phones. Conti Systems has been deploying mobile computing equipment since 1993 — through every generation of Symbol, Intermec, Honeywell, and Zebra hardware. We supply the equipment, pre-configure it before shipment so it works on day one, and support it across its full lifecycle including repair, battery replacement, and end-of-life trade-in.

THE CONTI DIFFERENCE
Why “Configured Before Shipment” Matters
Mobile computers ship raw from the factory and require significant setup before they’re useful: enterprise OS staging, MDM enrollment, Wi-Fi profile configuration, scanner configuration, and WMS app installation. Multiply that by 50 devices, and your IT team just lost a week.
Conti pre-configures devices before they ship. Each device arrives ready to scan, enrolled in your MDM, on your Wi-Fi, and logged into your WMS — productive within minutes of unboxing, not days. For fleet deployments, this is the difference between a clean go-live and a chaotic one.
For deployments of 50+ devices, Conti runs structured fleet programs: staggered rollout in waves so operations don't break on changeover day, pre-configured devices for each wave, spare units on standby for hardware failures during the first weeks, and a repair pipeline ready from day one so devices that fail in the first month don't sit on a desk waiting for someone to figure out where to send them.
Mobile computers fail. Triggers wear out, screens crack, batteries degrade, and OS support eventually ends. Conti handles the full lifecycle — repair through our factory-trained shop, battery replacement to extend usable life, and buy-back or trade-in for end-of-life devices when it's time to refresh. The same vendor that deployed the fleet is the vendor that keeps it running for five-plus years.
On-site work pricing reflects the fact that we don't have to fly anyone in.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — Windows Mobile end-of-life is a common driver for fleet refresh. We manage the transition including new device selection, WMS application compatibility (most legacy WMS clients have Android equivalents now), and operator training. The transition is more involved than a like-for-like refresh, and we plan accordingly.
Ring scanners paired with wrist-worn or arm-worn devices. The picker scans by pointing a finger at the barcode rather than holding and triggering a handheld. Common in high-throughput e-commerce fulfillment where pick rate is the critical metric and even one-second-per-pick savings add up across a shift.
Yes — Zebra VC, Honeywell Thor, and Datalogic Rhino series are common choices, configured for forklift power and ignition-aware operation so devices boot with the forklift and shut down cleanly when the ignition cycles.
Yes — see our scanner repair and printer repair pages. Mobile computer repair follows the same process: mail-in or on-site, diagnostic within 48 hours, written quote, no work until approved.
Typically 5–7 years from deployment to end-of-life, depending on duty cycle and use environment. Battery replacement at year 2–3 extends usable life significantly. We offer trade-in and buy-back at end of life so the fleet refresh isn’t pure disposal cost.
Yes — we work with your WMS vendor or internal IT to install the WMS client or app during pre-configuration. Most major WMS platforms are supported. For custom or in-house WMS, we coordinate the app deployment with your team.
Yes — fleet programs include staggered rollout in waves, pre-configuration for every device, spare units on standby for hardware failures during the first weeks, and a repair pipeline ready from day one. We size the program to your operational calendar so the rollout doesn’t break operations.
Depends on the workflow. TC series for general picking and receiving on Android. MC series for operations still running legacy Windows applications. VC series for vehicle-mount on forklifts. WS wearables for high-throughput hands-free picking. We’ll spec to your specific application after talking through the workflow.
