StayLinked Protects Your Bottom Line
In today’s volatile global economy, tariffs have become a significant factor reshaping purchasing decisions across the warehouse industry. Increasing costs and uncertainty have many supply chain managers reconsidering substantial investments, particularly when it comes to upgrading hardware. As costs rise, warehouse operations must find innovative ways to maintain profitability without sacrificing performance.
One often overlooked but highly impactful area is connectivity issues—specifically, dropped sessions. While many warehouse operators perceive hardware as the root cause, research indicates the real culprit often lies elsewhere: software.
The Hidden Costs of Dropped Sessions
Dropped sessions—interruptions in connectivity between warehouse devices and warehouse management systems (WMS)—are more than minor inconveniences. Each dropped session leads to productivity loss, reduced worker morale, and direct financial implications. According to StayLinked’s comprehensive 2024 Session Persistence Report, the average warehouse loses approximately $29.23 per worker per day due to these interruptions.
Consider a mid-sized warehouse with 50 workers. Dropped sessions cost an astounding $1,461.67 daily, accumulating to nearly $400,000 annually in lost productivity alone. This silent drain on resources compounds at a time when tariffs further strain budgets, underscoring the need for smarter, cost-effective solutions.
The recent surge in global tariffs has exacerbated existing financial pressures, leading many warehouse operators to delay or reconsider hardware purchases. The rationale is straightforward: Why incur high upfront costs when economic uncertainty looms large? Unfortunately, delaying essential technology upgrades can inadvertently compound existing operational inefficiencies, resulting in even higher costs over time.
