Fieldwork isn’t always easy. Technicians face everything from freezing cold to sweltering heat, constant vibration, dust, rain—you name it. Regular consumer devices can’t keep up, and when they fail, it’s more than a hassle: they slow everyone down, cost more money, and leave customers unhappy.
Glacier Computer helps field crews and fleet services with rugged devices, practical advice, and support options that keep operations running smoothly.
Match the Solution to Your Environment
The process starts with listening—really digging into what your team faces every day: temperature swings, environmental conditions, data connectivity needs, and how everything fits together.
Recommend the Right Mix
Device solutions include rugged tablets, laptops, in-vehicle computers, barcode scanners, AI-Ready, RFID gear, and accessories. Because we’re not tied to one brand, you get honest advice and plenty of choices, including Getac, Panasonic, Zebra, and others.
Need a sunlight-readable display, all-day batteries, built-in 4G/5G, GPS, or devices tough enough for hazardous work zones? Glacier’s team will help you figure out what you really need, and you can even try demo units before you buy.
Rugged devices usually last three to five years or more, and standardizing gear across teams makes buying easier and cuts down on IT headaches. Glacier can handle big rollouts too, with services like pre-installing software, provisioning, SIM management, and secure device enrollment.
Purpose-Built Hardware for Field Sales and Service Workflows
Field techs depend on mobile gear for everything—handling work orders, tracking assets, doing inspections, mapping locations, logging into ERPs, and getting real-time info. Glacier builds solutions with these real-world needs in mind:
* Rugged tablets and laptops provide outdoor readability, offline sync, and support for data-intensive tasks.
* Vehicle-mounted computers and docks support in-cab or on-site use with secure mounting and power integration.
* Integrated scanners, RFID, and cellular enable seamless workflow from dispatch to completion.
* Compatibility with Field Service Management (FSM) platforms, ERP systems, asset management tools, and enterprise security frameworks ensures end-to-end continuity.
Features such as hot-swappable batteries, reinforced construction, and environmental sealing reduce field failures and boost productivity.
End-to-End Service and Support That Minimize Downtime
Devices are just the starting point. Glacier backs up its hardware with services that make life easier for companies running big, spread-out fleets.
Glacier’s support networks can install devices on-site or in vehicles, handling mounting, wiring, setup, testing, and organization—even across multiple locations. This takes the load off your IT staff and makes sure it’s done right the first time.
If something breaks, a repair triage team can quickly determine what’s wrong and whether it needs repair or replacement. We keep you in the loop and help avoid wasted time or money.
Other services include activating cellular devices, handling logistics, tracking device lifecycles, and planning upgrades. Our Device-as-a-Service program offers a simple subscription model with regular hardware refreshes and priority support.
Through our partnership with Velociti, Glacier offers nationwide installation and ongoing support, including remote checks and routine maintenance. With 24/7/365 coverage and certified repair centers, you have one place to turn for your devices’ entire lifecycle.
