Overcome Operational Risks with Reliable Warehouse Radio Communications

Modern warehouses require a smart warehouse communication system to maintain operational efficiency and worker safety across complex distribution environments.

Production Downtime

Reduce Delays with Multimedia Messaging

Legacy warehouse radio communications waste time and money when limited to voice-only legacy radios, which can lead to misunderstandings, extended downtime, and costly delays.

Walt’s Push-to-3 (PT3™) technology enables workers to share voice messages, photos, and videos to quickly resolve complex issues. Smart warehouse radio systems like Walt can cut problem resolution time by up to 70%.

Lost Productivity During Shift Changes

Keep Everyone in Sync with Instant Updates

The first shift is often 30% less effective than every other shift, so how do you recover those costs? When using traditional warehouse radio communications for these critical transitions, important context is frequently lost as workers clock in and clock out.

A smart radio for warehouse use enables seamless knowledge transfer from one team to the next. Walt’s time-stamped communication logs create a digital record of critical information so workers can avoid costly errors and delays.
