Honeywell Streamlines Inventory Management At Wellspan Health With Dolphin® 9500 Mobile Computers

Since the Lawson upgrade would take approximately one year, there was some time to adjust and test a new hand-held mobile scanning solution. As a strategic partner to Lawson, RR Donnelley was brought in to work with WellSpan and provide expertise on the selection of the hardware unit. RR Donnelley has been a Lawson partner since 1990, and also utilizes Emkat, an RR Donnelley technical services provider. RR Donnelley provided WellSpan with a sampling of recommended devices that were compatible with Lawson’s software and WellSpan staff were given the opportunity to test the devices in their work environment to identify which worked best for their needs.

To make the selection, WellSpan staff considered several test criteria, including hands-on use, communication range, data security, durability, battery longevity and charging options, ease-of-use and comfort. “We were looking for the best fit for our specific facilities and something that would provide advantages today and for the future,” said Patricia Snyder, Manager of IS Administrative and Financial Applications at WellSpan.
