Supply chain success rests on the shoulders of its frontline workers. Their ability to adapt and navigate challenges is paramount. That's why Samsung Knox, our industry-leading mobile security platform, has joined forces with SAP, one of the world's premier providers of enterprise resource planning software.

This powerful partnership utilizes advanced mobile technologies and revolutionizes supply chain mobility and adaptability while improving the overall employee experience—resulting in unparalleled operational resilience, simplified work processes, and secure barcode scanning with Knox Capture.

 

Equip your workforce to be supply-chain resilient

A frontline workforce that's supply-chain resilient is the backbone of any successful operation. Disruptions are inevitable, but our partnership equips your workers with the tools they need to effectively handle them.

By seamlessly integrating our rugged mobile devices and Knox solutions with SAP's flagship supply chain application, SAP Service and Asset Manager, enterprises gain unprecedented intelligence and automation capabilities for field tasks.

This powerful integration allows workers to:

  • Respond swiftly to changes: Anticipate disruptions with real-time data and alerts, enabling them to prepare for unexpected changes in inventory levels, delivery schedules, or maintenance needs.
  • Increase efficiency: Leverage key mapping on our devices to trigger barcode scanning with a single press, streamlining workflows and saving valuable time—this frees them up to focus on critical tasks during disruptions, such as troubleshooting equipment failures or rerouting deliveries.
  • Pro barcode scanning: Effortlessly capture and transmit data directly to the SAP Intelligent Asset Management solution with Knox Capture—offering the capabilities and flexibility of a business-grade scanning wedge on a consumer-level device (fostering familiarity with workplace devices).

By equipping your frontline workers with these capabilities, you're fostering a more responsive and adaptable supply chain, better equipped to handle whatever challenges arise.

 

Transforming the user experience

Our goal is to make technology an asset, not a burden. With a focus on user experience, we've created a solution that is both intuitive and powerful. When you combine Knox Capture with SAP Service and Asset Manager, users can simply point, scan, and watch as input fields are populated automatically within the mobile application.

This intuitive user experience translates to:

  • Rapid onboarding: Familiar and easy-to-use interface for workers, minimizing training needs.
  • Enhanced productivity: A user-friendly experience that makes operations more straightforward, keeping workers happy and engaged—not to mention the familiarity with consumer-level devices.
  • Improved employee satisfaction: A user-friendly experience that makes operations more straightforward, keeping workers happy and engaged—not to mention the familiarity with consumer-level devices.

 

Focus on the task, not the threat

With Samsung Knox, security comes first. Our industry-leading defense platform safeguards your devices and information at every level.

Capture data securely with Knox Capture, where all scanned data is encrypted on your users' Samsung devices and during transit to the SAP Intelligent Asset Management solution. This multi-layered approach can help ensure sensitive information, like customer data or internal inventory details, is protected from unauthorized access, even if a device is lost or stolen.

Because Knox encrypts data throughout the capture process, your frontline workers can concentrate on their jobs with the confidence that their work is secure. They can scan barcodes, capture inventory details, and update data in SAP Service and Asset Manager, knowing their data is protected.

This translates to fewer distractions and a more productive workforce that can still prioritize data security with every scan.

 

Pioneering the future of supply chain management

Our partnership with SAP marks the beginning of an exciting journey. Knox Capture is just the first step in a broader collaboration focused on delivering innovative solutions that address your evolving business needs. Together, we're shaping the future of supply chain management.
