As newer barcode technology is developed and released, older products become obsolete as they can no longer support newer software programs or keep up with the growing complexities businesses face. The speed, functionality, and management of older barcode technology becomes more difficult which can impact the overall profitability of your business.

The performance of your front-line workers is dependent upon reliable barcode technology that is up to date. When the printers and devices your employees use daily are no longer serviced or supported, also known as end of life, security can become a risk while productivity can suffer. It can be difficult letting go of the devices you’ve used for years because of costs, but what is the cost of reliability and security to your business? And what if there was a program that can help mitigate the costs of upgrading your devices?

Well, there is such a program. The GO Zebra Trade-In Program. Go from lagging legacies to leading-edge solutions using devices that provide unwavering performance. Swap out setbacks in your business for savings that Imprint Enterprises can help you navigate.

A Recap of What End of Life Means

End of Life (EOL) is when a manufacturer stops making a specific product. It becomes harder to find replacement parts and service support from a trusted expert becomes limited. Compatibility with newer barcode printers and devices is limited and security can become more compromised as software is no longer updated.

The amount of downtime a barcode printer or device at EOL can cause will have a negative impact on profitability, functionality, and efficiency. An entire facility can come to a grinding halt when the technology that supports operations ceases to work.

EOL dates will vary, depending upon items such as:

      • Component availability
      • Technological advancements
      • Profitability
      • Compatibility with other technological devices
      • Software compatibility
      • Environmental sustainability
      • And more

Swap Setbacks for Savings ​

Most barcode printers and devices have a sell span of 3-5 years with support provided for 4-5 years after the end of the selling span. At EOL, your business has a decision to make; continue using the old technology, potentially risking operational efficiency and security, or upgrade to minimize downtime while gaining simplicity.

The older a product is, the harder it becomes to update manage security and supported applications, creating a major risk factor against constantly evolving malware threats. The longer your business waits to upgrade your barcode printers and devices, the greater the impact is on efficiency and functionality. Newer technology can help preempt problems before they come disruptions.

The concept of the GO Zebra Trade-In Program is the same as when you upgrade your old cell phone for a new one. You trade in your old barcode printers and devices to get a rebate to put towards the purchase of new printers and devices. Additionally, Zebra recycles the old devices, reducing landfill waste to provide a “win for you, your wallet, and the environment.”
