Mobile data capture terminals feature a screen on which to view information and a keyboard or keypad for entering information, and may be connected to various peripheral devices. Retail demands low-cost, durable scanners as well as wireless handheld devices to meet the increasing demands of store operations. 

A Data Capture Device is an electronic device used to automatically identify objects, collect data about them, and entering that data directly into computer systems (i.e. without human involvement). Technologies typically considered as part of automatic Identification include bar codes, RFID, biometrics, magnetic stripes, etc. They can also serve as barcode readers, and they are used in large stores, warehouses, hospitals, or in the field, to access a database from a remote location. These units frequently run with wireless device management software that allows them to interact with a database or software application hosted on a server or mainframe computer. A company performing manual data transfer previously is allowing it to spend less time and money on administration and more time on providing products to the customer after the introduction of PDT (Portable data terminals) which automates many of the tasks. Distribution & logistics operations rely on fast and accurate collection and sharing of data to keep goods moving quickly.
