Zebra’s authorized service partner, Highpoint Services Network Philippines, Inc, will operate the new service center, which is equipped with skilled technicians who are proficient in repairing Zebra’s broad portfolio of innovative mobile computers and barcode scanners.

“The opening of our first service center in the Philippines demonstrates our continued commitment to Asia Pacific and our local Filipino customers,” said Jason Low, Country Advisor for the Philippines, under Zebra Technologies Asia Pacific. “The proximity of this new service center will be more convenient with less downtime for local businesses and enhance their business continuity and operational efficiency.” 

Businesses with Zebra OneCare™ maintenance plans can leverage the services of the new service center along with those customers using Zebra products that are under warranty. Zebra OneCare further offers its users technical and software support, security software updates, analytics reports and more. Additional flexible enhancements are also available, which allow customers to tailor their service plan to meet individual business needs today and as their operations evolve in the future.

Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), an innovator at the front line of business with solutions and partners that deliver a performance edge, today launched Zebra MotionWorks® Proximity in the Philippines.  The solution offers proximity sensing with user-level alerting and contact tracing to enable employers to protect their employees’ health while in the work environment.

Governments around the world, including the Philippines, have issued guidelines requiring employers to develop and implement appropriate policies such as social distancing, contact tracing and disinfection. Zebra’s MotionWorks® Proximity solution meets the requirements outlined in the guidelines and the needs of many enterprises looking for a viable option to enhance their reopening strategies.

“We’ve received many inquiries from our customers and partners on the best way to protect our front-line workers during these times. The reality is that many businesses will need to operate in a fundamentally different way, from stricter hygiene practices to social distancing,” said Jason Low, Philippines Country Advisor, Zebra Technologies. “Zebra’s MotionWorks® Proximity ensures that our customers can continue operations whilst protecting their employees’ health and safety in the workplace.”

Zebra’s MotionWorks® Proximity solution provides proximity and contact tracing insights, dashboards and reports to employers as well as individual proximity alerts for the employees. The data is tied to an employee ID or anonymized user ID, allowing for actionable insights by the employer while allowing for the privacy of individuals, unlike other public contact tracing solutions. Accurate, automated contact tracing can help companies quickly identify exposed employees for testing, potentially limiting widespread facility closures.

Leveraging Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) and WiFi, the software solution is hosted in the cloud, implemented quickly and managed remotely by Zebra, eliminating on-site professional services. It does not require new infrastructure and can be utilized on existing supported Zebra Android devices as well as new devices, which are available in different form factors and price points depending on customer requirements.

“In this climate, our first priority in the workplace should continue to be the health and safety of our employees,” said Low. “Beyond Zebra’s MotionWorks® Proximity, we also recommend enforcing a device cleaning policy based on original equipment manufacturer (OEM) guidelines to ensure employees are disinfecting devices on a routine basis.”

“Wiping down a device is not always enough. Even when fingerprints are cleaned, the surface may still be covered with bacteria. Unless the right cleaning agent has been used, it may not necessarily be completely disinfected. Adhering to the OEM cleaning guidelines will help to ensure that employees are properly disinfecting devices regularly and prevent any devices, especially those that are being shared, from becoming a potential source of virus transmission,” added Low.

American publicly-listed tech company, Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA) has appointed Jason Low as its Philippines Country Advisor.

While based in Singapore, Low will be taking the helm of developing business strategies and digital transformation to be implemented for Zebra Technologies Asia Pacific Pte Ltd (Philippine Representative Office). He reports directly to the Singapore-based Regional Director of South East Asia.

“According to IDC predictions, it is estimated that at least 30 percent of companies across the Philippines are set to transform themselves through new, emerging technologies by 2020, which means an abundance of business opportunities for Zebra’s business in the Philippines in the days ahead,” said Fang-How Lim, Regional Director – South East Asia, Zebra Technologies APAC.

“We are confident that Jason will guide Zebra’s business in the Philippines to achieve even greater heights, through supporting our local distributors and partners in their delivery of industry-tailored solutions that provide the frontline of enterprises with actionable insights to make business-critical decisions,” Zebra Technologies Regional Director added.

For the newly appointed Philippine Country Advisor of Zebra Technologies, Jason Low, being appointed to lead the Philippine Team is never this exciting.

“The Philippines is a growing market for Zebra, and we are committed to helping Filipino businesses in embarking on their digital transformation journeys. By working closely with local partners, we help our customers implement the right solutions to make business-critical decisions, thereby leading to greater efficiency and productivity,” Low added.

Spanning over 20 years of IT sales experience and has held various leading positions at recognizable IT brands including Dell Computers, Alphawest, and Singapore Computer Systems, before joining Zebra Technologies in 2011, Low is set to create a significant transformation in Zebra Technologies Philippines.

His 9 years stint with Zebra Technologies, Low managed the South East Asia Asset Intelligence & Tracking Solutions business and subsequently oversaw the Supplies Solutions business across the Asia Pacific.
