A patient order comes in through customer service or online via the Ample Organics e-commerce portal, and the Zebra MC3200 mobile computers help employees find, pick, label, and pack each order efficiently while automating compliance related tasks.

All data is collected and stored in real-time within the Ample Organics system, which is essential for frequent Health Canada inspections.

The data collected in the Ample Organics' system - using Zebra's mobile computer along with its label and card printers - gives Aphria confidence when these targeted, random inspections occur.
