In 2022, workplace mobility is at an all-time high, with businesses of all types and sizes learning to operate and excel in remote and hybrid work environments.

As consumers continue returning to in-store shopping in 2022, they will expect the same level of service and accessibility from brick-and-mortar stores as their online counterparts.

Frontline workers frequently find themselves in harsh environments, from working in the pouring rain to climbing or crawling in dark, dusty spaces. The technology they use on the job gets more than the usual wear and tear. But smarter, more durable equipment — such as rugged tablets — can help workers power through their toughest days.
