Intermec Supply Chains Solutions Review

For those of you starting a new business, be sure to consider Intermec for your supply chains solutions. Their inventory includes the following:

rfid tags: These are getting more and more common. Asset tracking is made easily possible. It may be another expense, but the cut down on human labor could be substantial. They also sell barcode scanners for the RFIDS. All of their products are network ready; a deep level of integration allows for more simple communication and Automated Data Collection.

What I loved most about Intermec is that they cover all aspects of supply chain needs; they sell computers, printers (to print the barcodes and RFIDS), scanners, and the software to implement it all. When you get it all from one place, you KNOW it will integrate and work seamlessly. One of the major problems I had when I worked with a startup locally was that their supply chain software was not integrating with their database, and the hardware was always crashing. You won't have this problem with Intermec.

One last thing I would like to say is that Intermec has a solid client base. They handle supply chain solutions in all sectors - industrial goods, consumer goods, retail sales, logistics, health care, field service and the public sector.
