Takt + Zebra: Warehouse Optimization Partnership

Efficiency, precision, and scalability in today’s fast-paced warehousing and logistics sector-are not luxuries–they’re a necessity. The right choice of hardware and software may be the difference between a seamless operation and one doomed by inefficiencies. That’s why Takt has joined forces with Zebra Technologies to provide a fully integrated, future-proofed labor management solution.

By pairing Zebra’s industry-leading hardware with Takt’s real-time labor management software, warehouses realize seamless workforce optimization, business insights in real-time, and dramatic gains in efficiency. The combination of automation, smart tracking, and decision-making based on data allows the warehouse to gain productivity and eliminate bottlenecks.

How Takt and Zebra Work Together

We are excited to expand our partnership and integration with Zebra devices, and there’s no better place to showcase it than ProMat 2025, where Takt is a featured partner in Zebra’s booth. We are excited to expand our partnership and integration with Zebra devices. Through this new release, Takt’s labor management software and warehouse intelligence platform are integrated with Zebra handheld, wearable computers, and Zebra tablets, offering instant, accurate, and actionable productivity insights along with real-time workflow tracking. 

Takt For Employees is designed to be deployed onto handheld computers and wearable computers like the TC7x, MC9400, WS50, and WT6400 series of devices. Takt for Employees enables employees to monitor their performance in real-time, track indirect, kitting, and value-added services (VAS) processes directly on their device.

Takt Kiosk provides the same indirect, kitting, and value-added services (VAS) tracking to shared kiosks, that can be deployed to Zebra tablets and Zebra kiosks like the ET4X, CC6000, and the Zebra kiosking system.

Developed on Android 13+, Takt applications are natively integrated with Zebra scanning technology via Zebra DataWedge to enable the quick QR code scanning across the warehouse.

Together, Takt and Zebra enables warehouses with:

1. Real-Time Employee Insights with Zebra Mobile & Wearable Devices

Zebra’s mobile computers, wearables, and tablets—integrated with Takt’s advanced analytics—provide comprehensive real-time labor insights. This integration enables warehouse employees to:

• Monitor real-time performance in real-time, on-the-go, without depending on a desktop.
• Identify inefficiencies and receive immediate performance alerts for proactive adjustments.
• Track direct and indirect labor activity with precision, allowing operational decisions to be made based on accurate, live data.

2. Improved Accuracy for Indirect Time, Kitting, and Value-Added Services (VAS) with Zebra Scanners and RFID Technology

Takt’s software integrates seamlessly with Zebra’s barcode scanners and RFID technology, allowing warehouses to:

• Optimize indirect, overhead, and downtime labor by accurately capturing time spent on non-production tasks, reducing inefficiencies, and improving workforce utilization.
• Streamline kitting workflows by offering real-time visibility into component assembly, preventing bottlenecks, and ensuring seamless order fulfillment.
• Enhance VAS operations by validating and monitoring each stage, ensuring quality, regulations, and maximum throughput.

3. Easy Onboarding and Training for an Effective Workforce

The biggest issue in warehouse operations is that training and onboarding new employees must be done effectively. Zebra’s devices and Takt’s straight-forward interface allow warehouses to:

• Reduce training time and accelerate proficiency with intuitive, step-by-step guidance that helps new employees learn processes efficiently and accurately.
• Offer real-time feedback with Takt Coach, allowing employees to gain timely feedback and support, reinforcing best practices while minimizing errors.
• Ensure long-term workforce performance by standardizing training with digital workflows, filling knowledge gaps, and enabling employees to adapt quickly to process changes.
