Vocollect has announced its entry in India and the start of its India sales operation in Gurgaon. This move is an important step in Vocollect’s efforts to grow its presence in Asia's logistics sector.

Speaking on the occasion, Vance Lau, Vice President and Managing Director, Vocollect Asia Pacific, said, "India's domestic logistical demand is vast, and the country is witnessing external demands placed by global businesses for world-class supply chain management practices. Businesses need to find better and faster ways to achieve results that are on par with international standards."

Vocollect and its global partner network enable over 300,000 workers worldwide to distribute more than US$3.5 billion worth of goods on a daily basis through voice-centric solutions. "Vocollect's voice solution will help India companies to fulfill their objectives for creating a truly modern warehouse. Our solution’s ability to condense cumbersome processes into a sleek, streamlined channel that is easy to learn and operate, to reduce errors and increase safety is a winning combination for achieving business success,” Lau added.

The Vocollect solution features the company’s industry-leading speech recognition technology and built-for-purpose Talkman mobile computing appliances. Vocollect Voice, Vocollect’s portfolio of hardware and software, seamlessly integrates with any existing WMS or ERP including SAP, enabling companies to leverage their existing technology investment.

Vocollect’s voice solutions excel across all geographies, supporting all languages, dialects and accents, working to the advantage of Indian companies. Workers from the different regions can train their individual voices on the system, and the speech recognition technology recognizes the unique characteristics of each person’s voice.

In addition, the voice system differentiates ambient noises such as forklift beeps, pallet drops, fan and freezer noises and miscellaneous conversations. This superior voice recognition quality is extremely important in the effort to maximize worker productivity and accuracy.
