Directly competing with Symbol is a company called Intermec . Intermec's niche is streamlining companies supply chain processes. In an industrial setting, Intermec, through the use of their automated data collection tools, can track orders and inventory throughout every process in the shop. Their products can even be used to alert employees as to which orders must take priority. In a retail environment, paper-based methods of tracking goods and information, as well as the costs associated with maintaining excess inventory to meet fluctuating demand are greatly reduced.
Retailers are able to access real-time information about their inventory.
Intermec's products can be applied the same way to other fields such as logistics, health care, and field service. Intermec takes pride in hiring personnel that have been trained in the field for which business problems they address. They also advertise a range of service agreements to meet the needs of their customers ranging from on-site service within 4 hours of the call, to as many as 10 days from the call, depending on the needs, and the pocketbook, of the customer. We think that for this type of wireless network application, there support seems to rank among the best. Intermec's top quality products and their ability to expand and succeed in our minds makes them the market leader.
