Zebra Technologies is bringing software and hardware capabilities together to support a connected frontline experience, as highlighted in announcements at ZONE 2025. The event detailed an integrated approach to operational management, covering schedule optimization, compliance, inventory visibility, and task coordination. New capabilities include rule-based shift assignments, split and fixed shift scheduling, ADA compliance features, and a mobile-first platform for associates to manage schedules, time-off, shift swaps, and accruals. Management tools feature exception handling, dynamic search, centralized task management, and expanded analytics for labor forecasting and inventory control. The acquisition of Elo expands Zebra’s device portfolio, pairing touchscreen displays and point-of-sale hardware with operational management in retail and hospitality. The unified ecosystem also supports device onboarding, reporting, and dashboards for store and regional leaders. Zebra’s continued investments and product development reinforce its role as an integrated provider for organizations seeking to manage complex, distributed operations from a single platform.
