Mobile technology has significantly transformed operations for businesses, with portable devices playing a key role in reshaping the way warehouses are managed. Today's warehouses utilize a variety of smart devices and tools to streamline operations and reduce errors during order picking and dispatch.
While the benefits to these mobile devices are clear, safely storing, organizing, and tracking them effectively can be challenging without the right Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution.

One of the pitfalls of remote working is that you can easily fall into the trap of a sedentary lifestyle. As veteran telecommuters can attest, the couch has a very strong allure, as does the fridge.

Thankfully, a regular dose of work from home yoga can not only boost your health, but also your mood…improvements which can directly translate to an increase in productivity, performance, and overall job satisfaction.
Not convinced? Here’s a breakdown of the productivity and health benefits of yoga and why you should give it a try.

Due to the multitude of stressors surrounding the COVID-19 epidemic, a lot of professionals have turned to mindfulness as a means to reduce anxiety and maintain productivity.
Luxor is very lucky to have on staff an expert in mindfulness meditation: Associate ERP Analyst Sophia Rosa.
Prior to the COVID-19 epidemic, Sophia was leading mindfulness exercises in our office. Now that we’re remote, Sophia moved her weekly session to a virtual meeting which we find very helpful.
Thinking that you, too, might benefit from incorporating mindfulness at work, we sat down (virtually, of course) with Sophia so she could share her thoughts on how people working from home can harness the power of mindfulness to help stay focused and engaged.

Like many of you, the team here at Luxor has quickly transitioned from an office environment to working remotely due to a state mandate to help slow the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus.
As expected, we’ve collectively enjoyed the cuddly dogs and cats laying at our feet, fresh pots of coffee within an arm’s reach, not to mention the 30-second “morning commute” from our living rooms to our desks. But that doesn’t mean there haven’t been challenges to our “new normal.”
Specifically, a typical home is full of potential productivity killers like a fridge full of tasty snacks, shows waiting to binge-watched, and (for many) the added responsibility of homeschooling kids while their schools are closed.
Since we’re all making this adjustment together, we want to share our top working from home tips. The ultimate goal, of course, is for all of us to enjoy the comforts of working remotely without sacrificing productivity.
