Modern yard and warehouse management across industries includes mobilizing the workforce. When mobile terminals replaced paper-based systems in supply chain activities, reductions in labor costs and increases in productivity and accuracy delivered a rapid return on investment for the new mobile technology. Now, as multimodal mobile systems replace basic single-task mobile systems and terminals, the cost benefits are just as remarkable.

The traditional definition of Multimodal Computing as described by Wikipedia is, ‘to interface with a system beyond the traditional the mouse and keyboard.’ True, the single task systems for barcode scanning inventory or proprietary voice picking as used in supply chain execution over the last decade would be considered multimodal by that definition. However, today's definition of multimodal computing is the means of accurate and timely data collection and communication between data gatherers and data stores that provides multiple modes of interfacing to an enterprise’s business logic.
