Abstract
One of the latest pieces of technology that you can use to improve logistics is the wireless barcode scanner which is extremely beneficial for a business. These devices by scanning a barcode on a product package which then transmits data back to a host computer depending on how it is set up. So if we have a warehouse and we have products that are being sent out to other locations, then these devices can be used to store that information. This is a much better solution versus having to manually keep track of this data which would be time consuming. Improving business logistics is especially important in this day and age when competition is fierce. If this is the case, then we simply need to use every tool at our disposal so we can cut down on costs and improve processes that bring in more income.
