Protect your company from the high cost of outdated technology
Recently at Advanced Automation, we’ve been upgrading a lot of things. Processes. Workflows. Architecture. Heck, even some of our underlying systems needed a boost. There was a point where we were saving money by either making small fixes orwaiting until the next, best, greatest release of “insert technology here”…until we weren’t anymore. Thankfully, we’ve had a lot of practice scaling our business over the years, and have learned to plan for investments in future technology upgrades. For just about everything.
No doubt, our customers deal with this too — there is a never ending cycle of warehouse hardware and equipment upgrades that are simply an outcome of technology that works as hard as you do. It’s easy to complain when your mobile printer is at the end of its life, but that thing took a beating and made printing RFID labels a zillion times easier on your workers for years. In fact, you didn’t hear any complaints until the thing broke down and you had no back up replacement plan or money left in the budget. Like all things in life, us humans love immediate gratification of things that ‘just work’ vs. the struggle of long term effort. Making more money and saving it for your company is no different.
You want to increase revenue now and save your boss unnecessary costs. But management often must focus on the short-term gain of increased sales rather than the long game of saving money. Somewhere in the mix of minimalistic cost saving ideas and resistance of the new, saving money is often harder than making it because of the required initial investment of time, effort, money…and patience.
In today’s blog post, Advanced Automation talks about the Top 3 Reasons why participating in the Go Zebra Trade-In Program is an investment in your company’s long game. We know you’ve already got increased revenue in the bag. So instead, we’re going to show you why focusing your attention on a trade-in program for outdated warehouse technology is going to be your best investment in warehouse operations yet.
The Top 3 Reasons we’ll cover in this post:
- Keep your printers, mobile computers and scanners up to date with ease by exchanging qualified technology devices for next-generation productivity generators that push the edge of what’s possible
- Leverage the extreme value of the Go Zebra Trade-In Program (the total possible rebate values are amazing!) and find out which products have the best trade-in values
- Confidently face today’s technology challenges with the support of a leader in products and solutions developed for today’s top industries like Retail, Warehouse and Distribution, Healthcare, Manufacturing and more.

Reason #1 to leverage the GO Zebra Trade-In Program
Keep your printers, mobile computers and scanners up to date with ease by exchanging qualified technology devices for next-generation productivity generators that push the edge of what’s possible.
With the right mobile computers and tablets, your workers can shave workloads and sharpen decision-making. Putting answers at their fingertips and time on their side by providing the tools they need with eligible Zebra mobile computers and tablets helps push performance to the max.
When it’s time to migrate from outdated devices to leading-edge printers and mobile computers, the Go Zebra program has everything covered. When you upgrade printers, you can save even more when purchasing a Zebra OneCare service contract.
In terms of keeping things up to date with ease, it’s worth noting that Zebra takes the recycling burden away from you — they’ll responsibly dispose of your old units, at no cost to you.
If budget, quality, and making your life easier is motivating you, the GO Zebra rebates are just one of the benefits to the program. Add ease of trade-in and the fact that GO Zebra helps reduce the upfront investment in new devices — it’s time to trade-in!
