SGDB France Modernizes Warehouse Operations with Zebra Technologies

Zebra Technologies announced that Saint-Gobain Distribution Bâtiment France (SGDB France), part of Saint-Gobain Group, has selected Zebra’s ET50 Android tablet to enhance warehouse workflow for its workers.

France’s largest construction material distributor, SGDB France needed to completely renew its fleet of vehicle mount devices with a smart, flexible solution for its trolleys. After a pilot phase, they chose Zebra’s ET50 tablets with Mobility DNA applications to allow its operators to easily connect with its existing Zebra scanners. Mobile employees can remote-ly access the various Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) which enable them to be more productive in the field.

“We chose to deploy Zebra enterprise-class tablets across all our warehouses because of their high performance and compact size that are ideal for use in our vehicles,” said Lionel Courbebaisse, IT manager, Saint-Gobain Distribution Bâtiment France. “Within a month, the Zebra terminals have improved work ergonomics through better screen display of the information to our operators, the keyboard’s personalization and the mobility of the solution.”
