Zebra
This 25 year-old Florida-based specialty metals supplier needed a better way to respond to requests for urgent shipments from airline customers without compromising accuracy.
Autotote, the nation’s leading supplier of pari-mutuel wagering systems to horse track, dog track, and off-track betting parlors, wanted to find a way to bring the betting window to its customers.
A leading Grand Rapids, Michigan-based manufacturer of household cleaning machinery relied on a seven-person staff of fulltime employees to manually enter hand-written inventory data. Every part placed into the warehouse and every finished product sent to the shipping dock was recorded on a transfer ticket and later entered into the company’s antiquated warehouse management system.
A family-owned chain of 156 small town hardware stores in the Northeast was looking for a way to streamline operations at the outlets while making it easy to get information on daily activity back to headquarters. They selected a software product offered by one of Zebra’s solutions partners.
Intermec
“Delayed” is not a word that sits well with Joe Beery. It’s a touchy word, particularly in his industry, and one that tends to cost money wherever the word is applied. Beery does not want to hear about delayed.
a Glance For years, Gateway Delivery successfully completed thousands of deliveries per day – and had piles of boxes of delivery receipts to prove it. However, when the Canadian contract delivery company had to document proof of a specific delivery, someone had to sift through those piles of boxes to pull the paperwork and fax it to the customer.
For media wholesaler, the new “unplugged” reaps million-dollar rewards sitting in bins throughout the 45,000-square-foot warehouse at Super D are works of musical art waiting to move. Among rows of compact discs, cassette tapes and the odd vinyl albums are the recording industry’s elite; compilations that have connected so powerfully with the buying public that they have sold a million units or more.
Datamax
A major clothing manufacturer located in California has realized an enormous savings by implementing Datamax I-Class printers with Linear Scanners into their daily operations. The company operates two order fulfillment facilities, one located in San Francisco, the other in Los Angeles.

Companies with field service operations involved in repair and maintenance of home appliances and business equipment — from washing machines and refrigerators to copy machines and more — face a unique challenge.
For companies that need to deliver goods and packages, protecting profitability is a never-ending challenge. Already faced with slim profit margins, companies must find a way to manage rising fuel and insurance costs and meet customer demands for better service — without increasing the cost of services in order to remain competitive.
Wasp Technologies
The warehouse was using a manual inventory tracking process based on an Excel spreadsheet. That process is slow and prone to inaccuracies. Mr. Rasmussen went in search of a better way and found System ID
With seventeen workstations and a rapidly turning specialty stock, Harold’s Fine Home Lighting needed a sophisticated point of sales system at a reasonable cost. Wasp Barcode Technologies brought big business solutions at a price this small company could afford.
Using primarily a volunteer staff, the cumbersome point-of-sale solution in place created many headaches for the DCMC. Data on items sold and inventory levels were inaccurate and could not be used to provide timely feedback to the manufacturers. DCMC needed an easy-to-use solution that volunteers could operate and maintain accurate records.
Nicky Nicole needed a point-of-sale and retail management system that could keep up with a fashion-forward business. This included inventory control, sales tracking, and professional customer transactions.
