Maintaining IT Systems for Transportation and Logistics
January 5, 2026
In today’s fast-paced logistics world, reliable IT systems are critical. If your scanners, mobile computers, printers, or rugged devices go down, so does your entire operation. In logistics and transportation, every second counts and technology must keep up. That’s where Mercom comes in. Whether you use hardware from Zebra, Honeywell, Datalogic or other manufacturers, we help logistics teams stay online, on time, and on target.
Why IT in Logistics and Transportation Matters
Technology is at the heart of every logistics operation. From scanning barcodes in the warehouse to tracking fleet movements on the road, IT systems connect every part of the supply chain. Whether it’s a mobile computer or vehicle mounted scanner used in a truck, or a warehouse scanner that manages inventory, these tools need to work every time.
Downtime is a hassle and it means delayed deliveries, missed SLAs, and unhappy customers. That’s why maintaining your IT infrastructure is mission-critical.
How Logistics Technology Solutions Keep Operations Moving
Modern logistics technology solutions are built to streamline operations, reduce errors, and increase throughput. Key tools include:
- Printers, Barcode and RFID scanners for accurate tracking
- Mobile data collection devices for real-time visibility
- Warehouse management systems that integrate with backend systems
- Fleet tracking hardware for route optimization
When this tech is working smoothly, it powers fast, accurate, and efficient logistics. But when something breaks, it needs to be fixed fast. Mercom keeps your devices in service and your logistics chain moving.
Common IT Hardware Challenges in Logistics Environments
Let’s face it: logistics is tough on hardware. Devices get dropped and wear out . Dust, heat, and vibration are constant threats. Common failures we see include:
- Cracked screens on mobile units
