Warehouse tasks on Android handhelds and phones.
The Klovio mobile app runs receiving, picking, packing, transfers and cycle counts on Zebra and Honeywell Android handhelds and on Android phones. Workers scan barcodes with the device's built-in imager, the phone camera or a paired Bluetooth scanner, and follow each task step by step.
Floor tasks in one app.
Receiving, picking, packing, transfers, cycle counts and inventory audits run in the same app, on a handheld or a phone.

Designed for floor work
The app is built around the way handheld work happens on a warehouse floor: large tap targets, color-coded feedback after each scan, and screens that can be used with one hand. It's designed for use while walking, in low light and with gloves on.
Device requirements
- Android phones and tablets: Android 10 or later, with a rear camera
- Rugged Android handhelds: Zebra TC25, TC52 and TC57; Honeywell CT40 and CT45
- Bluetooth scanners: scanners that support HID (keyboard) mode pair with the phone or tablet running the app
Which scanner should you use?
There are three options, and many teams use more than one.
- The phone camera. No extra hardware. Reads 1D barcodes (Code 128, UPC-A/E, EAN-8/13, ITF-14) and 2D barcodes such as Data Matrix and PDF417. Suited to receiving desks, cycle counts and anyone who scans a few dozen items an hour.
- A Bluetooth scanner. An HID-mode scanner pairs with the device running the app and reads without waiting for a camera to focus. A good fit for pickers doing hundreds of scans per shift. Pairing guide →
- A rugged handheld. Zebra TC and Honeywell CT devices run the same app with a built-in imager, a physical scan trigger and a battery sized for a shift. Worth considering for freezers, gloved work and docks where devices get dropped.

Offline mode
Wi-Fi coverage often drops at the back of a warehouse, inside a freezer or on a loading dock. When the connection drops, the app keeps working: receiving, picking, packing, cycle counts and transfers can all be completed offline, and each scan is queued on the device.
Each scan is written to an on-device queue with a timestamp before the screen confirms it, so scans taken without a connection are kept on the device until they upload. When the device is back on the network, the queue uploads in the background and merges in order, with no action needed from the worker.
Offline operation has been tested for up to 12 hours at a time. Sync conflicts are resolved on the server using last-write-wins for most fields, with manual review for inventory adjustments. More on how offline mode works →
What's included
The mobile app is included in Klovio plans, with no per-device fee and no per-scan charge. It works with the web app: tasks a manager assigns in the web app appear on the assigned worker's device, and scans from the floor update the web dashboard as they sync.
