-- Configurable system greatly improves receiving and workflow routing of

preowned mobile devices that are processed in refurbishing warehouses

FutureDial Incorporated (

) announced the launch of a groundbreaking solution for companies that

refurbish iPhones and Android devices. FutureDial's SMART Receive(TM) solution

consolidates receiving tasks for mobile phones entering refurbishing warehouses

for inventory recording and device processing. The solution removes bottlenecks

in the receipt and routing processes and dramatically improves workflow

efficiencies. SMART Receive(TM) is another industry first from FutureDial,

complementing their other automation solutions in testing (SMART Test(TM)) and

cosmetic inspection (SMART Grade(TM)) and adding value on top of FutureDial's

core software portfolio: Lean One Touch(TM), LeanAlytics(TM), and SMART Mobile

Inspector(TM).

SMART Receive(TM) integrates the various receiving tasks into a single station

for logging essential information from incoming phones and quickly performs

vital processing at the start of the line operation, such as battery charging

and data-clearing. The system removes a lot of guesswork, empowering the human

workforce at the warehouse to efficiently prepare and route numerous devices

each day for the intended tasks further down the operation line.

Game-Changer for Mobile Supply Chain Operations

Being the first system to comprehensively consolidate and streamline the

receiving tasks in mobile device warehouse operations, SMART Receive(TM) is

recognized as a breakthrough solution for efficiently handling high volumes of

incoming mobile phones. Steve Manning, FutureDial's Chief Strategy Officer,

underscored how SMART Receive(TM) is a game-changer for the industry: "Most

device refurbishing warehouses have multiple receiving stations to handle the

huge number of devices coming in the loading docks each day. With our new

solution, a single receiving station can handle all the preparation work needed

for each phone that comes in, with no pre-sorting required. This enables

warehouses to log, prepare, and process far more devices more efficiently and

profitably than ever before."

Consolidates Receiving Tasks for More Efficient Workflows

SMART Receive(TM) employs dynamic workflow guidance to boost productivity while

handling many different device models and business rules, saving time and

reducing costly errors or inefficiencies in the receiving tasks. "SMART Receive

brings together all the separate receiving tasks into a single, more efficient

station, and takes away the guesswork, guiding the receiving staff in

performing their tasks," noted Angel Anderson, FutureDial's Product Solution

Manager for SMART Receive. "The system helps consolidate the order-of-operation

workflow in receiving, and directs staff in which tasks to prioritize and when

to perform them. Formerly repetitive tasks are aggregated in more efficient

sequences for staff to perform, which saves time, effort, and money."

Automation Replaces Manual Receiving Tasks

Refurbishment managers can pre-configure device processing and routing so that

system-directed activities will not require additional training; this makes the

solution easier for even new staff to operate. With many formerly manual tasks

now consolidated with SMART Receive(TM) automation software, staff are able to

move more devices intelligently down the line for processing.
