Manager in a supermarket

First we must define what a supermarket manager does. In order to properly cater to the needs of customers, a supermarket must staff an expert, attentive management team. A supermarket manager may assume many different duties, such as supervising employees and store operations, taking inventory and ordering products, performing administrative and human resources work, or engaging in safety inspections and loss prevention. Most managers are very skilled at organizing merchandise, communicating with employees, and providing excellent customer service.

Given with those duties a hand held computer would be very helpful in accomplishing those tasks. For example in the inventory checking, it would be convenient and more accurate if the inventory would be checked using a computerized system. There are many inventory systems nowadays that a supermarket manager can use; so as an ordering system for the supplies of their products. Using that handheld computer, the supermarket manager can track the transactions within his palm’s reach (literally).

Delivery person for a courier service

A delivery person for a courier service operates vehicles to pick up and deliver messages, packages, and mail the customer wants to be delivered. Couriers are distinguished from ordinary mail services by features such as speed, security, tracking, signature, specialization and individualization of services, and committed delivery times, which are optional for most everyday mail services. A local example of this is LBC.

Here are some of the principal responsibilities of the delivery personnel:

• Follows instructions for pick up, transport and delivery of messages, packages, and mail the customer wants to be delivered. 

• Gives basic operating instructions to the customer at the time of delivery of the equipment. 

• Keeps records of pick-up and deliveries and obtains necessary signatures and receipts as requested by supervisors.

Having those duties, a delivery person could use a hand held computer in tracking all the deliverables on his truck. He could also use a finger print scanner to secure the identity of the receiver of his delivery.
