Hi
there! I’m Jim. Sometime ago, I was on what could only
be described as a “quest.” You might be on one of those
yourself, right now! I had what I thought was a simple
problem — I needed to track stuff where I work — and I
knew it could be solved with bar code (barcode) or RFID
(radio frequency identification) technology. The trouble
was, my quest seemed endless and confusing. For hours I bounced around
the Internet, finding on-line catalogues and price lists
from impersonal businesses that offered insincere
platitudes and “the best price” or “the fastest
delivery” – but no one was there to actually help me
solve my problem. How frustrating!
Then, I
landed here. It was obvious to me from the start that
this company was different. First off, they
actually wanted to know and learn about my problem.
Then, someone actually called me to discuss it!
Talk about personal service! This person helped me
formulate and define my needs and talked me through some
of the options I might consider, not pushing me into
something that wouldn't suit our operation. Finally,
they provided me with a written proposal, not just a
quote.
You know,
the Internet is a fantastic tool — if you know
exactly what you want! It's nice to learn that
there's actually someone
knowledgeable and understanding out there to help you out.
In
the end, I’ve solved my problem and my boss and I are
really happy with what we’ve got from these folks — a complete system
solution that directly addresses our needs and has
already paid for itself a dozen times over!
My advice?

minutes of your time telling them what they initially
need to know about you and what you're looking for.

what they told me...
"Since 1987, we’ve been helping
companies and institutions across the US and Canada cover their products, books, animals,
family members — whatever! — with these ugly looking stripey things known
as bar
codes, barcodes, or sometimes even bar-codes. Why? Because a system that
employs bar code technology provides an extremely quick
financial return with efficiently captured data, recorded at the
point-of-activity, that is inherently more accurate, timely, reliable,
and accountable.
We’re intimately
and exclusively involved in the field of AIDC: Automatic Identification and Data
Collection. That is, we eliminate relatively ancient forms of data
recording and collection like writing on paper (centuries old) and
keyboarding (100+ years old) and replace them with semi-automated,
computer-driven strategies. These systems most commonly use bar code
technology, but that doesn’t prevent us from providing system solutions
that use other “complementary” AIDC technologies like RFID (radio
frequency identification), wireless communications, magnetic stripe, smart cards, and
hand-held computers and terminals.
The vast
majority of the systems we provide record and
track something: inventory, assets, people, tasks
and activities, and are commonly used by front-line
workers who are not necessarily computer-literate. Most
of our solutions incorporate the Japanese business
strategy of poka-yoke — which basically means
"mistake-proofing." (The less politically correct among
us would use the term "idiot-proofing.")
The system solutions we
offer include many components: hardware, software,
supplies, system design and consultation. We are definitely not a supplier of only one
type or brand of technology. What we are is a company that helps its clients formulate solutions to their business problems, following
through by supplying them with as many of the system components that
they require.
So, if you’re just looking for the
cheapest source of some Brand X Model Y bar code scanners, there are
many other catalogue-based companies on the web who can supply them to
you. Some of them might even give you the time of day to explain to you
how they work — if they have the knowledge or time! If you want to solve a
business problem and sense that the solution involves Automatic
Identification and Data Collection, then you’ve come to the right place!"
