Zebra Technologies unveils new tools for retail and warehousing
Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), known for connecting data, assets, and people so work flows end to end, announced three new offerings at its annual ZONE customer conference in Las Vegas. The focus is practical: give retailers and warehouse teams clear, usable technology that lifts efficiency without getting in the way of the job.
New retail solutions on display
Zebra Kiosk System
The Zebra Kiosk System is built for self-service by both shoppers and store associates. At its core is the KC50 Android Kiosk Computer, offered with 15-inch and 22-inch displays to fit different counters and floor layouts. Tap-to-pay support and compatibility with all major payment terminals make checkout flexible, whether it’s a quick self-scan or an assisted transaction. The result is a smoother front end—less friction at the point of service, more choice in how customers pay and go.
Workcloud Actionable Intelligence 7.0
Alongside the kiosk, Zebra introduced Workcloud Actionable Intelligence 7.0, a next?generation platform powered by AI and machine learning. It turns raw data into fast, actionable insights so retailers can spot hidden trends and fine?tune workflows. Instead of sifting through reports, teams can zero in on what matters, act sooner, and measure the impact where it counts—on the floor.
ET6x Windows rugged tablets
Zebra also highlighted its ET60W/ET65W Windows rugged tablets for demanding environments such as retail warehouses and logistics operations. With improved touch performance and features that keep interaction reliable in challenging conditions, the tablets help staff stay productive across aisles, back rooms, and docks. Durable hardware and responsive input mean tasks can move with the work, not against it.
Retail focus at the ZONE conference
At ZONE, Zebra underscored its push to raise the customer experience through practical innovation. Attendees—industry leaders and clients including United Pacific—dug into core retail challenges like inventory management, loss prevention, and clearer workforce communication. The emphasis was on what to improve now and how to carry those changes from pilot to day?to?day practice in a fast?moving retail landscape.
Ryan Neaves, Senior Manager of Retail Operations at United Pacific, noted that Zebra’s tailored approach stands out. By understanding United Pacific’s specific needs and constraints, Zebra has helped sharpen both operations and decision?making. In his view, that close fit has made Zebra a key contributor to their ongoing success.
