Tek Direkt supplies the Zebra TC701 in multiple configurations. Browse the available devices below to buy online, or send us the manufacturer part number (MPN) and quantity you require for a business quote.

Why Choose the Zebra TC701?

The TC701 combines a modern touchscreen experience with the durability and enterprise capabilities required for demanding professional applications.

Depending on configuration, capabilities can include:

Android operating system
Wi-Fi 7
5G cellular connectivity
Bluetooth
NFC
Integrated enterprise barcode scanning
Advanced data-capture options
Rugged construction
Replaceable battery
Enterprise security and device-management capabilities
Zebra DNA software

The exact specification depends on the TC701 configuration, so always check the complete Zebra MPN before ordering.

Zebra TC701 for Warehouse & Logistics

The TC701 is particularly well suited to operations where employees need a rugged touchscreen device for scanning and accessing business systems throughout the working day.

Typical warehouse and logistics applications include:

Goods receiving
Put-away
Order picking
Replenishment
Inventory counting
Pallet and location scanning
Stock transfers
Packing
Dispatch
Returns processing
Yard operations

Its touchscreen-led design can suit businesses running modern Android warehouse and inventory applications while still requiring dedicated enterprise data capture.

Zebra TC701 Barcode Scanning

Barcode scanning is an important part of the TC701 platform.

Different configurations can provide different data-capture capabilities, making the device suitable for applications ranging from conventional product and inventory scanning to more demanding warehouse workflows.

Typical uses include:

1D and 2D barcode capture
Inventory management
Product identification
Pallet scanning
Warehouse location scanning
Parcel processing
Asset tracking
Manufacturing traceability

Check the scan engine associated with the exact MPN you're considering, particularly where scanning distance is important.

Zebra TC701 Wi-Fi 7 & 5G

Modern connectivity is particularly important in large warehouses, industrial sites and mobile operations.

Wi-Fi 7 provides the TC701 with support for the latest generation of enterprise wireless infrastructure.

Compatible 5G configurations can extend connectivity beyond the organisation's Wi-Fi network, making the TC701 suitable for workers moving between warehouses, yards, vehicles and other locations.

This can be particularly useful for:

Transport and logistics
Yard management
Field operations
Ports and terminals
Large industrial sites
Outdoor inventory workflows

Zebra TC701 for Manufacturing

Manufacturing environments can use the TC701 for mobile data capture throughout production and material-handling workflows.

Applications can include:

Raw-material tracking
Component identification
Work-in-progress
Production data capture
Quality-control workflows
Finished-goods tracking
Inventory management
Material movements
Asset tracking

The ultra-rugged form factor makes the TC701 particularly relevant where consumer smartphones or lighter-duty enterprise handhelds may not be appropriate.

Zebra TC701 RFID

Certain TC701 configurations can support RFID-based workflows, allowing businesses to combine enterprise mobile computing with RFID data capture.

Potential applications include:

Inventory management
Asset tracking
Warehouse operations
Manufacturing
Logistics
Retail stock management

RFID capability varies by configuration, so don't assume that every TC701 has identical RFID functionality.

Check the complete manufacturer part number before ordering an RFID-specific configuration.

Zebra TC701 vs TC501

The TC501 and TC701 are both next-generation Zebra enterprise mobile computers, but they are intended for different operating environments.

The Zebra TC501 provides a rugged touchscreen platform suited to mainstream retail, warehouse, logistics and field applications.

The TC701 moves into a more rugged operational tier for organisations whose devices are exposed to tougher working conditions.

Choose the TC501 where a modern enterprise handheld provides the appropriate level of durability.

Consider the TC701 where the operating environment demands a more rugged device.

Zebra TC701 vs TC73 / TC78

The TC701 also provides an upgrade consideration for businesses comparing Zebra's established ultra-rugged TC7 Series.

The Zebra TC73 & TC78 remain capable ultra-rugged enterprise mobile computers for warehouse, logistics, manufacturing and field operations.

The TC701 introduces Zebra's newer-generation platform and wireless technologies, including Wi-Fi 7.

For an existing TC73/TC78 estate, the decision should take account of application compatibility, scanning requirements, wireless infrastructure, accessories and expected deployment lifecycle rather than simply replacing devices based on age.

Zebra TC701 vs MC9450

The TC701 and MC9450 both target demanding operational environments but provide very different user experiences.

The TC701 uses a large touchscreen-led handheld format suitable for workers using graphical Android applications alongside barcode scanning.

The Zebra MC9450 uses a more traditional warehouse-computer format with physical keypad options for intensive scanning and manual data-entry workflows.

Choose based on the way employees actually work:

TC701 — touchscreen-led workflows and modern mobile applications.

MC9450 — intensive warehouse scanning and physical data entry.

Choosing the Correct Zebra TC701

Although Tek Direkt currently carries a smaller number of TC701 device configurations, the specification can still differ substantially between MPNs.

Check factors including:

Wireless connectivity
Scan engine
Cellular capability
Memory and storage
Cameras
Battery
RFID capability
Regional configuration

Always compare the complete Zebra manufacturer part number rather than comparing prices based simply on the name "TC701".

This ensures you're comparing genuinely like-for-like devices.
