Technology wishlist

[employee 626]

Here is a wishlist most of us have for the technology we use daily

1. MyDay search to work or link into Target.com search
   1. Along with that, we should be able to copy a DPCI from the Target app or ANY other app to MyDay
   2. Select items in the Pickup app to open it in MyDay
2. All alert sounds to be unique (or the same depending on what needs to happen except for SCO needs a refill vs a cashier)
3. All Zebras to TC58
4. Ability to turn SCO off and on from MyDay. A TM would press a button on MyDay and select which registers to turn off or on instead of doing each individually
5. See the status of all SCO from the device or a tablet
   1. Both money and register status

• Zebras as wireless barcode scanners for the register or wireless barcode scanners
• Messaging app on the Zebra to message a TM or TL
• Ability to make a list of DPCIs or order barcodes and have the register print them
• A reshop button
  • A button that you press and it tells you how to sort the items that you scan and then makes a path to place on the floor
    • It can be done by department or by aisle

Search on myDay is HORRIBLE right now. You can type in something common and it'll return 0 results. This happens with a lot of video games I've noticed.

I can see the advantages of a messaging app, but this could backfire too with people being bothered during their break. That's why I've never given my phone number to a single TM lol.

Was at Lowe's the other day & asked a couple of their folks for help locating something so they pulled out their Zebras & immediately it was "Oh, hang on......it kicked me off! Gotta log back in....."
I told them we use them at Target too & we compared notes on what we hated most.

The fact that we don't have a SCO view is WILD.

Please keep some TC57 Zebras though they're so much more comfortable to hold

"Reshop" used to be a thing. The team would scan each item into the cart, then could print the list from the guest service register. The list had a breakdown of the pog location, description, and upc barcode for each item in the cart

Merge Mytime into Workday so I can see my PTO and/or Sick Pay Balance without looking at my last pay stub.

Sort my Priority Pulls to show the which are the most under capacity by percentage wise. I realize Priority Pulls are only supposed to trigger at 90% but mine trigger for literally anything under 100%.

PS Yes I have complained to management about this for years to no avail.

I know, really. Don't Walmart and Krogers already have that?

I just want the devices to work. Target has dedicated teams developing apps that only need to work across a handful of different devices, yet they still somehow function worse than apps for our phones that are made to work across hundreds of different devices.

I'd be happy with something that worked and didn't need a new battery every two hours...

At first I thought the TC58 had better battery life.

I then realized it was because the batteries are new!

I'm confused about the purpose of the list? If I'm pushing reshop and I don't know where something goes, I just scan the item and the info is there. How does having a paper list help?

 

[Ringwraith917]

In case you don't have a device, I guess. It became less important as the devices started to gain more functionality and become more available to TM's. Hardly anyone used the paper list but I saw it printed out & taped to the reshop basket handle pretty often.

I would have been happy with an RFID gun that stayed linked to the zebra.

Oh how about a Zebra with RFID technology built in? How haven't they invented that yet?

I would have loved that!

RFID definitely leaves a lot to be desired. I see tiktoks of people in other stores and RFID gives you instant feedback of what you have found and what is missing. Currently doing RFID is like waving it around and praying you got everything you were supposed to, after you wait 10 minutes for it to refresh of course.

My wish is equipment control. We lose too many zebras.

I've heard the same thing and would probably use one myself (I have small hands) but they're so glitchy that it's not worth the frustration.

I actually find one in an aisle last night.

It was logged out already.

Can it still be pinged if it still has power?

 

[FlowTeamChick]

I realize Priority Pulls are only supposed to trigger at 90% but mine trigger for literally anything under 100%.

Seems to be an issue for anything with more than one location. And of course whoever pushes the pulls done late in the day doesn't check for dual locations.

it will show that location when it was logged out.

I think it was called “Put Away” on the PDAs. Only used it once.
