Honeywell has announced a strategic collaboration with Verizon to deliver a seamless, integrated technology solution for retail and logistics companies. This innovative bundled offering combines Honeywell’s industry-leading hardware, software, and services with Verizon’s high-speed 5G connectivity, providing businesses with an enhanced ability to streamline the retail lifecycle—from simplified procurement and contracting to the expansion of devices and data plans for the future.
This powerful partnership aims to empower retailers and logistics companies with a comprehensive solution that boosts operational efficiency, strengthens business resiliency, and drives productivity.
Boosting Business Resiliency for Retailers and Logistics Companies
One of the standout benefits of this Honeywell-Verizon bundled solution is its ability to enhance business continuity in the face of unexpected disruptions. Take, for example, a mid-sized garden center retailer that loses power—resulting in the loss of internet access and the potential closure of the store for the day, thereby hurting sales. By integrating Verizon’s 5G cellular data plan with Honeywell handheld computers, Smart Pay contactless mobile payment software, and dedicated support services, businesses can continue running their point-of-sale systems uninterrupted, minimizing operational disruptions and safeguarding revenue.
