Benefits of Purchasing Certified Refurbished Barcode Scanners

Many businesses find the use of technology to be increasingly essential to their workflow. Because of incredible feats in the internet, data sharing, and office equipment industries, you can now be fully functional with all your job-critical information right in the palm of your hand.

Without the ability to track shipments, monitor inventory, make efficient updates to pricing, or organize data any business that manages physical goods at scale would come to an abrupt halt.

Many medium and large organizations in industries like healthcare, hospitality, retail, transportation, or warehousing rely heavily on handheld barcode scanners and mobile computers. They frequently use these barcode scanners to send reports, maintain inventory, quickly identify goods, and organize other pertinent information. These barcode scanners are game-changers for hundreds of different business functions from the complex data fields of a hospital chart to the rental of a car. As a busy professional, you do not have time to waste with a malfunctioning scanner

If you are looking for a more affordable and cost-effective avenue to modernize and update your hardware, consider purchasing a certified refurbished barcode scanner. Mercom supplies certified refurbished equipment to help you and your business stay current in the ever-changing world of technology at a fraction of the cost of buying new. 

What Makes a Certified Refurbished Scanner?

All Mercom certified refurbished hardware undergoes a series of rigorous testing plus a QA process to ensure refurbished equipment functions optimally. In order for a device to be considered a certified refurbished product, a technician tests to ensure each device meets or exceeds the following standards:

• Scanner or imager must meet original manufacturer’s specifications
• LCD and touch functions operate without issue
• Keypads and/or switches show minimal or no signs of wear
• Wi-Fi capabilities and connectivity are functioning properly
• Device battery life meets OEM standards
• Parts showing damage or heavy wear must be completely replaced (housing, keys/buttons, LCDs, etc.)

When you are in the market for handheld barcode scanners, or you have barcode scanners you need replaced, consider buying refurbished models. Not only do certified products function like new, they also come at a fraction of the cost and are accompanied by a one year warranty! Managing your fleet of mobile computers and barcode scanners has never been easier. 

Different Types of Handheld Barcode Scanners 

There are several different kinds of barcode scanners and mobile computers. Each one has a unique advantage for you and your business depending on what you need.

Handheld barcode scanners come with a variety of different functionalities and options and they are found most often in retail stores, the hospitality industry, transportation businesses, and generally in warehouses.

Mercom offers refurbished barcode scanners and other hardware from brands such as Zebra, Honeywell, Datalogic, Epson, and Elo.

The Benefits of Purchasing Refurbished Barcode Scanners

So, regardless of what industry you are in be it retail, warehousing, hospitality, transportation, or healthcare, how does a refurbished scanner benefit you and your company? When your hardware needs to be updated, the most feasible option is to replace it, but buying the latest isn’t always the greatest. 

New equipment is expensive and isn’t always an option for every business. Luckily purchasing new barcode scanners is unnecessary due to the following benefits of purchasing refurbished barcode scanners instead.

Savings

Refurbished barcode scanners and other hardware typically cost thirty to fifty percent less than the cost of purchasing those pieces of equipment new. What is better than saving money and getting updated equipment?

Guarantee

Mercom stands behind its equipment and promises to guarantee each refurbished item with a comprehensive one year warranty!

Environmental Impact

Not only can you save money and be confident in your refurbished scanner purchase, but you can also help the planet. 

According to a New York Times article: Buying refurbished reduces our carbon footprint and our overall environmental impact. According to the Global E-Waste Statistics Partnership (a collaboration of the United Nations University, the International Telecommunication Union, and the International Solid Waste Association), 53.6 million metric tons of electronic waste was generated worldwide in 2019—and only 17.4% of it was collected and recycled.

Your business can always highlight this to earn customers who appreciate green-friendly companies.
