Informed mobility platform for an item processing supervisor or user within a distribution facility

A method of electronically managing, at a supervisor mobile terminal, item processing activities associated with a distribution facility, the method comprising:

• wirelessly communicating, via a transceiver circuit of the supervisor mobile terminal, with a server computer, a plurality of sets of data relating to the item processing activities, the item processing activities relating to one or more of:
• workforce, workload performance, or training and safety at the distribution facility;
• displaying, at a user interface of the supervisor mobile terminal, at least one set of the plurality of sets of data;
• receiving, at the user interface, an instruction to modify the at least one set of data;
• controlling the user interface to modify the at least one set of data based on the instruction;
• wirelessly communicating the modified data with the server computer such that the at least one set of data stored in the server computer is updated with the modified data;
• and
• control the transceiver circuit to wirelessly communicate the at least one set of data with item processing equipment at the distribution facility.

A server computer for electronically managing item processing activities associated with a distribution facility, the server computer comprising:

• a transceiver circuit configured to wirelessly communicate, with a supervisor mobile terminal, a plurality of sets of data relating to the item processing activities, the item processing activities relating to one or more of:
• workforce, workload performance, or training and safety at the distribution facility;
• a memory configured to store the plurality of sets of data;
• and
• a controller in data communication with the transceiver circuit and the memory, and configured to:
• control the transceiver circuit to wirelessly receive a modified version of at least one set of the plurality of sets of data from the supervisor mobile terminal;
• control the memory to update the at least one set of data with the modified version of the data;
• and
• control the transceiver circuit to wirelessly communicate the at least one set of data with item processing equipment at the distribution facility.
