Secure Device Locking and Charging for Zebra Fleets

A handheld left charging on a shelf overnight is a handheld that might not be there in the morning. A fleet of scanners with no system for who has which device makes accountability a guessing game. Podloc solves both problems at once: a locking cabinet system purpose-built for Zebra handheld ranges (including the TC5x, TC7x, and TC2x series) that secures, charges, and helps track your device fleet in one unit.

Device Security Is a Fleet Management Discipline . 

A locked drawer or a charging cable left on a desk used to be good enough for a handful of devices. Once a fleet grows past a few units across shifts and staff, that informal approach quietly becomes a source of loss, downtime, and disputes over who had what.

We treat device security and charging as part of fleet management, not an afterthought bolted on once something's already gone missing — because at scale, that's exactly what it needs to be.

Secures devices against loss or theft when they're not in use, particularly relevant for warehouse and retail environments where handhelds move between shifts and staff.

A locked cabinet removes the temptation and the opportunity at once, which matters most in environments with high staff turnover or casual shift workers who aren't personally accountable for a specific device.

Charges the full fleet overnight or between shifts, so devices are ready to go rather than a scramble at shift start.

Every device in the cabinet charges simultaneously, so there's no queue for a powerpoint or a handful of devices left flat because they weren't plugged in properly the night before. Staff pick up a fully charged unit every time.

Supports fleet accountability, knowing which devices are in, which are out, and reducing the "who had it last" problem.

That visibility matters most when a device goes missing or is damaged — instead of an open-ended investigation, you know who had it and when, which turns a guessing game into a quick conversation.

Built for specific Zebra handheld ranges, including the TC5x, TC7x, and TC2x series, and supplied as part of a broader device fleet deployment.

If you're running a mixed fleet or unsure which Podloc configuration fits your current devices, we'll confirm compatibility before anything's ordered, so you're not left with a cabinet that doesn't fit the hardware you actually have.

 Warehouse & Logistics 

 Where device security and overnight charging matter most. Handhelds moving between shifts on a warehouse floor are exactly the environment Podloc was built for — high device turnover, multiple staff sharing a fleet, and a real cost every time a device is left uncharged or goes missing. It pairs naturally with the Zebra mobility fleets we already supply and support. 

 Retail  

 Secure, charged handheld fleets across single or multi-site operations. Whether you're running one store or a national footprint, Podloc gives every location the same system for securing and charging devices between shifts, closing a gap most retailers only notice once a handheld goes missing or turns up flat at trading start.   

 Enterprise Mobility 

 The Zebra device fleets Podloc is built to secure and charge. Podloc is designed specifically around Zebra's handheld ranges, so it slots into a device fleet we're already supplying and supporting rather than requiring a separate evaluation. It's the security and charging layer most Zebra deployments are missing until a device actually goes missing. 

Does Podloc work with devices we already own?

 Yes — Podloc modules are built for specific Zebra device ranges, so compatibility depends on which handhelds you're running. Talk to us and we'll confirm fit. 

Is this just charging, or does it help with device security too?
 Both — locking and charging in the one system, which also gives you a clearer picture of fleet accountability. 
Can this scale with a growing device fleet?
Yes — Podloc's modular cabinet design scales with the number of devices you're running.

Know where every device is, every shift.
