Apparently they are expecting scans to be low on the first week in Android/Zebra. Our STL was told that 96 for that week was considered a good score. We ended up with 96 in Softlines and 96 in Domestics as well... but the amount of extras was through the roof......over 6K extras in softlines and over 1K in Domestics.
The thing I miss the most is the *beep*. You know how it *beeps* when it picks up a new item but just *flashes* in back when it's already got that item? Well, they decided to remove the *beep* entirely. I told my STL the problem with that is that you have no idea whether you need to linger in an area or whether you're doing any good rescanning an area. Also, it's like 10 minutes between every update in counts which you get by swiping down. And every now and then the Android/Zebra My Device would shut off the blue tooth on it's own... weirdest thing. I'd have to open up the settings and turn the blue tooth back on periodically.
Plus side, the battery for the Zebra/Android lasts for the full scan even if it takes all day. AND the thing I love the most, it does NOT dump your scan. The My Device I was using wasn't fully charged to start with so I ended up changing the battery and even though the My Device did a FULL reboot the scan opened up right where I left off. No more stress worrying about losing your scan before you're done. Makes the job less stressful by far. Also, they said they are taking the salvage out of our counts. What that tells me is that as we suspected we should have been scanning the salvage every week if we wanted to be green. Now it doesn't matter... about time too.
Now if we can just get the numbers next week...
