When you speak with someone who has dedicated more than four decades to one organisation, you get a rare view into how business, culture and technology truly evolve. That is what makes this conversation with Peter Jones from Landpower so powerful. Peter’s experience in parts, service and operational leadership gives him an unmatched understanding of how the right technology foundations can strengthen a multi site network.
Below, we share some of Peter’s reflections, highlight the work LogiQ-On has delivered with Landpower and give a balanced summary of our recent Logiqon Talking Tech episode featuring Peter. These insights offer a real world example of what thoughtful, long term modernisation looks like.
What Landpower Needed: The Business Challenge
- Ageing Windows handhelds were slowing down teams
- Warehouse WiFi across some sites was inconsistent
- Legacy systems created friction in day to day workflows
- Uptime and accuracy were becoming more important as demand increased
- Multi site operations needed technology that worked everywhere, every day
A Partnership Approach: Understanding the Business First
Peter speaks clearly about why the partnership with LogiQ-On worked. Landpower is not a standard warehouse environment. It has unique workflows, seasonal pressures, specialist teams and a wide range of operational requirements.
In Peter’s words, the difference was simple. LogiQ-On took the time to understand how the business operates. That understanding shaped the solutions, the rollout plan and the long term support model. It was never a one size fits all project. It was a collaborative program tailored to a multi site organisation with its own identity and culture.

What LogiQ-On Delivered for Landpower
To address the challenges and support future growth, LogiQ-On delivered a series of targeted modernisation programs across the network. These focused on reliability, connectivity and user experience.
Many issues inside warehouses and service departments begin with poor connectivity. LogiQ-On upgraded WiFi across several locations, lifting coverage, reducing dropouts and improving roaming. The result was more consistent performance for handhelds, laptops and technicians who rely on network stability throughout the day.
Landpower was running older Windows based devices that had reached end of life. LogiQ-On supported the transition to modern Android touch computers, including Zebra mobility hardware and Velocity application support. This improved speed, scanning accuracy and day to day usability.
Warehouse and Service Team Enablement
With reliable devices and better connectivity in place, teams saw immediate improvements in workflows. Picking, receiving, service job management and stock control all became faster and more predictable. Uptime increased and daily bottlenecks decreased.
Ongoing Support and Long Term Collaboration
This has been a multi year partnership. LogiQ-On continues to work with Landpower on modernisation initiatives that align to operational goals. The focus is always on practical gains that support people doing the real work.

Peter’s Reflections on Culture, Change and Career Longevity
A powerful part of the conversation is Peter’s reflection on what keeps a business strong for the long run. He believes culture drives everything. When people feel supported, invested in and equipped with tools that help rather than hinder, the whole operation lifts.
Peter also speaks about the importance of staying curious and never standing still. Technology has changed dramatically across his career, and each wave of improvement has pushed the business to think differently about how work gets done.
As he prepares for retirement, Peter is clear about one thing. Upgrade decisions matter. The next generation of leaders will benefit from systems that are reliable, modern and built for the next stage of Landpower’s growth.
Key Takeaways from the Conversation
- Modern infrastructure sets the foundation for productivity
- Reliable WiFi is essential for any warehouse or service network
- Migrating from Windows to Android unlocks speed and stability
- Technology rollouts must be shaped around the business, not the other way around
- Long term success comes from culture, communication and continuous improvement
- Even complex legacy environments can modernise without disruption when the approach is right
