The benefits of KIRK DECT in warehousing and distribution centres
Increased efficiency and productivity
In a warehouse or distribution centre where a significant proportion of the workforce may be mobile and not have a fixed desk or station a KIRK solution provides the intra site communication required to manage the facility effectively.
A KIRK solution allows each employee to have a phone and speeds up the work of the business. It enables direct communications between colleagues in the warehouse and the office and eliminates the problems associates with overhead pagers, pocket pagers, and two way radios. For example a KIRK solution,
- Eliminates time delays - staff can call the intended party directly and eliminate time delays associated with pager systems
- Increases productivity - Managers do not spend time tracking down staff freeing their time for other tasks
- Eliminates lost messages - Messages are received directly and are private : messages broadcast over a paging system may not be heard in in some parts of the building and are not confidential
- Provides clear communications - A KIRK solution eliminates the need for overhead paging systems which are often difficult to decipher due to distortion and echo.

Handsets for warehouses / distribution centres
KIRK handsets are designed and built for use in the workplace. They are extremely durable unlike consumer-grade phone designs.
There are styles suited for use by office and warehouse staff. All handsets are designed to stand up to rough handling and models are available that can withstand water spilled on them and still continue to function. This makes them ideal for use in a warehouse or distribution centre environment where they will be in constant use and subject to rough handling.
With a talk time of up to 16 hours and a standby time of 200 hours the handsets can be rotated around shifts in plants operating multi shift production.
The KIRK handsets are supported with a range of accessories. A belt clip and safety line enable staff to remain hands free to do their job whilst securely carrying the handset with them. Some handsets come equipped with a headset jack and/or Bluetooth.

Inclusive coverage
A KIRK solution can be specified to provide coverage throughout the entire facility; even to the outside perimeter of the buildings. A KIRK solution allows for communications to be provided in areas where radio and mobile phone communication is difficult due to attenuation of the radio wave by walls/partitions or warehouse storage racking
