- Strategic collaboration combines Honeywell's
industry-leading hardware, software and services with Verizon's
high-speed 5G connectivity
- Innovative new managed service offering will help simplify
the procurement cycle, reduce upfront investments and
future-proof operations for customers
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 13,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON)
today announced that it is joining forces with Verizon to
bring a seamless technology experience to retail and logistics
companies through the launch of a transformative bundled offering.
Combining Honeywell's leading hardware, software and services with
Verizon's high-speed 5G connectivity will enable businesses to
streamline the Retail lifecycle with simplified procurement,
contracting and future device and data plan expansions.
Another benefit of the Honeywell-Verizon bundled solution is
increased business resiliency for retailers and logistics
companies. For example, if a mid-sized garden center retailer
unexpectedly loses power, the lack of internet could force the
store to shut down for the day, significantly impacting sales
potential. With a Verizon 5G cellular data plan bundled with
Honeywell handheld computers, Smart Pay contactless mobile payment
software and support services, the store can continue to run using
their point-of-sale system, minimizing disruption to operations and
loss of revenue.
"Our collaboration with Verizon will help retailers and
logistics companies maintain an effective resiliency plan for
unexpected disruptions," said David
Barker, President of Honeywell Productivity Solutions and
Services. "By bundling services, we are also reducing the number of
parties involved and steps it takes to purchase a full solution
that often requires several key technologies, enabling businesses
to stay up-to-date with important technology refreshes and avoiding
difficult CAPEX budgeting cycles."
"Companies of all sizes are looking at ways to reduce the time
and effort it takes to make key technology purchases so they can
get their operations up and running promptly," said Massimo Peselli, CRO, Global Enterprise and
Public Sector, Verizon Business. "By offering a fully managed
services solution at a single monthly price with Honeywell, our
retail and logistics customers can focus more on their return on
investment and driving business outcomes."
The Honeywell-Verizon bundled solution is designed to meet the
unique needs of retail and logistics companies of all sizes and
will provide a range of benefits, including:
- Simplified Procurement: A single point of contact for
hardware, software, services, and connectivity that streamlines the
purchasing process and reduces complexity.
- Enhanced Connectivity: Verizon's 5G network provides
high-speed, reliable connectivity for critical business
applications.
- Comprehensive Device Management: Honeywell's Enterprise
Mobility Services offer end-to-end lifecycle management for mobile
devices, including configuration, deployment, spare pool
management, frontline help desk and more, enabling optimal
performance and security.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: The bundled solution
enables businesses to streamline workflows, increase productivity
and reduce downtime.
- Scalability: The solution is designed to scale with
businesses of all sizes, from small and medium-sized businesses to
large enterprises.
The new Honeywell-Verizon bundled managed services solution will
be available through Honeywell and its network of resellers in
early 2025. To learn more about the Honeywell-Verizon bundled
