Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), an innovator at the front line of business with solutions and partners that deliver a performance edge, today announces that Southeastern Grocers Inc. (SEG), parent company of Fresco y Más, Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie grocery stores, is modernizing technology for its store associates with Zebra’s workforce and task management solutions to improve in-store operations and elevate the customer experience.

SEG selected solutions from Zebra’s Modern Store framework to better engage employees and optimize store labor productivity across its network of over 420 stores. Leveraging Zebra’s software capabilities enables SEG to align the staffing model with real-time demand and automate the scheduling process, so managers spend less time in the back office and more time helping customers and training associates.
