Perfect for All-In-One Devices

What is an All-In-One Device?

An All-In-One device is what we call a portable system that operates FoodBank Manager. The system would have internet access, take electronic signatures and be completely mobile.

Devices that fit this description are iPads 1,2,3 and mini varieties. Tablets like the Samsung Galaxy and Motorola Zoom but not limited to just these examples.

Many of our customers are using these devices for several reasons.

  • They are incredible handy to carry around.
  • Volunteers likely have one already and find them easy to use.
  • Everything you can do on a desktop computer can be done on a tablet.
  • You can explode the screen so even visually impaired can operate the tablet with ease.
  • Cheap to purchase, many under $300, but iPads can be more like $450 or less. Compare the cost of the tablet to the cost of a desktop system then add a signature pad to it for another $300+ and the All-In-One is a much better deal.
  • The tablet is so handy many retail stores are switching to them instead of expensive register systems.
  • Can scan barcodes using an optional Blue Tooth Scanner
  • You can print pick tickets in FoodBank Manager if you have a wireless printer with you.
  • Very easy to store and secure.
  • Lots of additional stuff to make the tablet system incredibly functional at a fraction of the cost of other computer systems.
  • Third Party vendors offer a wide array of accessories to use with your tablet.

Mobile systems currently being used to run FoodBank Manager.

The phones are not likely the easiest to use but they do get used. You likely have to be very young with really good eyes. But seriously, many Food Pantry Managers use the smart phones to do tasks from where they are, so they do not need to go to the Pantry when a need arises. Like resetting a password for a guest that forgot it.

Note: The iPad's seem to be the system of choice and we see many more of them used to run FoodBank Manager than the Android counterpart.
