Why Hardware Matters: Choosing the Right Devices for Field Workers

When it comes to managing field operations efficiently, software is only part of the equation. The hardware your team uses to run that software can have just as much impact on productivity, reliability and long-term return on investment. At AltLogic, we understand the vital role that hardware plays in the success of any field service operation — which is why FieldLogic has been developed with compatibility and durability in mind.

Supporting Your Devices — Old and New

Whether you’re using Android, Apple or Windows devices, our solutions are designed to be flexible. FieldLogic works across all major mobile operating systems, giving you the freedom to integrate with your current setup or explore new technologies that better support your business growth.

For businesses scaling up or modernising their mobile workforce, we can recommend hardware that’s been tested and validated to work seamlessly with FieldLogic — including a range of rugged devices.

Why Choose Rugged Hardware?

Consumer-grade smartphones and tablets might be suitable in an office setting but they rarely hold up in the demanding environments field workers face daily. Rugged hardware is built specifically for these challenges — designed to endure extreme temperatures, moisture, dust, vibration and multiple drops without compromising on performance.

Field Devices

Durability isn’t the only benefit. Rugged devices also offer:

Longer lifespan: With a lower failure rate, rugged hardware often outlasts standard devices, resulting in better total cost of ownership.

Security features: Enhanced protections help safeguard sensitive business data from tampering or unauthorised access.

Purpose-built design: Tailored for industry use, rugged devices come in a variety of form factors — from handheld units for quick job logging to rugged laptops built for outdoor and industrial environments.

For sectors like utilities, logistics, construction and maintenance, where uptime is critical and conditions are harsh, rugged hardware isn’t just a smart choice — it’s a necessary one.

FieldLogic: Validated for Zebra Devices

To give you even more confidence in your setup, FieldLogic has been officially validated with a range of mobile computers from Zebra Technologies, one of the leading names in rugged mobility. This means our platform has been successfully tested for compatibility and performance on specific Zebra devices — ensuring they deliver a robust, reliable and efficient experience in the field.

We proudly recommend these validated Zebra devices for any organisation looking to maximise return on investment and minimise operational disruption. They’re a proven match for FieldLogic’s powerful job tracking and field service management features.
