New technologies are the need of the hour. In order to grow businesses and revolutionise them it is pertinent that cutting-edge technologies are adopted.
Android is the path to mobile modernization in the Indian logistics sector. Handheld barcode scanners, mobile point-of-sale (mPoS), and in-vehicle devices are all built on a common core, Android.
