Revolutionizing Federal Warehousing

How Four Points Technology and Zebra are Accelerating Efficiency with Smart Scanning

January 8, 2026

Across the Federal government — from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) — operations rely on thousands of warehouses as their logistical backbone. Unfortunately, many of these facilities are behind the times. They still rely on manual processes – workers physically walking aisles, clipboard in hand – which cause a number of issues:

• Delayed Inventory Counts: Manual counts can take hours or even days.
• Inconsistent Data: People make mistakes and accuracy can fluctuate, resulting in losses, miscounts, or assets being misrouted.
• Low Accountability: No real-time insight into what is on the shelf or in transit.
• Cumbersome Compliance and Audit Requirements: Staff are required to reconcile paperwork manually.

Relying on the manual method ultimately limits mission efficiency, especially for those agencies responsible for supply chain readiness, disaster response, and health system support.

A Smarter Way Forward: Zebra and Four Points Technology

Understanding the importance of mission readiness and security, Four Points Technology and Zebra Technologies joined forces to increase efficiency in these warehouses. Together, we deliver solutions that dramatically increase speed, accuracy, and accountability in inventory tracking – reducing scanning time by up to 60% and offering real-time data visibility.

Leveraging Zebra Technologies’ industrial scanning portfolio and Four Points Technology’s federal procurement expertise, agencies can now digitize and automate their inventory management from end-to-end.

Key Advantages for Agencies:

• Rapid Asset Capture: Scan up to 20 barcodes per second, even in harsh warehouse environments.
• Real-Time Tracking: Live visibility into your items’ locations and movements.
• Ruggedized Durability: Built for government environments — from Defense depots to VA logistics centers — Zebra’s devices withstand drops, dust, and temperature extremes.
• Plug-and-Play Integration: Solutions integrate with existing ERP, WMS, or cloud-based systems, minimizing downtime and retraining.
• Data Security and Compliance: Devices and systems align with Federal IT security standards and can be deployed in FedRAMP® or air-gapped environments.

If your agency manages warehouses, depots, or supply centers, now is the time to modernize and take advantage of these new solutions and their measurable outcomes:

• 50–70% reduction in manual labor time
• 30% improvement in asset accuracy and traceability
• Improved sustainability through reduced paper use and optimized shipping operations
