objection: Will staff have to adopt another daily scanning routine?
response: Norra says its smart tags provide a current view with minimal workflow disruption; verify installation and staff tasks in a pilot.
objection: Does the savings justify tracking hardware?
response: Measure baseline rental spend, idle equipment and staff search time in one facility before evaluating expansion.
objection: Can it handle security and access controls?
