Supermercados Talpa is a fast-growing Hispanic grocery chain in the Southeastern United States. The grocery chain is supported by Talpa Group Holdings, a business enterprise of grocery, distribution, transportation, and meat processing businesses. The company’s leadership team recognized the need to modernize its operations for future growth. Rather than continuing to rely on disconnected systems and manual processes, Talpa launched a company-wide digital transformation centered around their new ERP system Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
The initiative began with the company’s distribution center, transportation company, and corporate operations, with plans to expand to additional business units in the coming years. To support the new ERP platform, Talpa needed rugged mobile computers that could deliver reliable wireless connectivity, fast performance, and the flexibility to support multiple workflows across distribution, retail, and food processing environments.
During the initial rollout with a previous vendor, the handheld computers originally selected for the project struggled with connectivity issues, inconsistent performance, and limited product availability, prompting the company to evaluate alternative solutions.
