Bloomberg BusinessWeek has posted a report that chronicles the methods that businesses are using to adopt iPads. “Businesses including beauty salons and restaurants are experimenting with new tasks for Apple’s tablet computer,” reads the intro to a 650-word overview of how the three-month-old tablet is already taking hold.
“In a warehouse, your travel time to pick orders is 50 percent of an employee’s time,” says Tim Markley, president of Elkhart (Ind.)-based Markley Enterprise, a 75-person firm that designs marketing displays for stores and trade shows. “We put pedometers on our people and we actually saw steps decrease by 30 percent with the iPad,” he says.
The BusinessWeek site also has confirmation that much larger companies, such as Wells Fargo, are adopting Apple’s large-format business tool.
