Zebra DNA

The core of intelligent hardware now even more evolutionary.

Zebra DNA brings out the best in Zebra’s mobile devices, scanners and printers – and is continuously developed by Zebra. The various deployment, management, optimisation, integration and security tools support your customers’ employees at all levels of the company. Amongst other things, the tools help business managers to grow their workforce, IT departments to secure, control and manage entire fleets of devices, and frontline staff with intelligent additional functions that make their work easier.

Hardware without software is like a body without a soul – you simply can’t do without it. With Zebra DNA, Zebra thinks far beyond the normal software offering. The various tools are tailored to the individual needs of mobile devices, scanners and printers and fully cover every phase of the device lifecycle – from app development, integration and security to device management and performance optimisation.
