Companies Collaborate to Devise Customized Barcode Scanning Solution

Dubuque, Iowa - July 22, 2015 – Tri-Technical Systems (Tri-Tech), a developer of retail point of sale (POS) software solutions, announces a partnership with Code (a manufacturer of image based barcode reading systems) and CRS, Inc. (a US-based importer and wholesale distributor of POS products) to offer a cost-effective and robust barcode scanning solution.  

This three-way partnership began at a CRS Profit Booster Conference in October, where CRS facilitated introductions between Tri-Tech and Code.  From there Code and Tri-Tech began discussions of desired product features and available solutions.  At the same time CRS and Code finalized their distribution agreement for CRS’s reseller channel.

“CRS strives to bring innovative and reliable solutions to the reseller channel at affordable pricing,” stated Loren Foley, Product Development Manager of CRS.  “Code scanners are great examples of exceptional products, coming from a trusted company that is easy to work with and has great support.  Code scanners contains a comprehensive feature set to allow partners, like Tri-Tech, to create the solutions they need.”      

For Tri-Tech’s solution, the Code Reader™ 900FD device was selected.  The CR900FD is an area imaging barcode reader with flexible decoding capabilities.  It supports omnidirectional reading of all 1D barcodes and offers users the ability to enable and read one 2D barcode of choice.  It is upgradeable to support all 2D formats as well as customized driver’s license (DL) and ID outputs.  The ability to decode varying DL formats is built directly into the DL parse procedures, allowing Tri-Tech to create standardized outputs from non-standard information.  This solution is both easy for Tri-Tech’s end-users to utilize and flexible enough for Tri-Tech to use with their existing product line, as well as future software products.

Code has been developing quality barcode readers for 18 years, with a strong presence in healthcare, and now aggressively expanding into the commercial and retail markets,” stated Vicki Thai, Independent Software Vendor Manager at Code.  “Through our partnership with CRS, we are able to provide resellers with reliable, feature-rich products at a reasonable price point.  For Tri-Tech’s solution, we combined our unrivaled decoding technology with our Driver’s License/Identification formatting feature to seamlessly integrate the CR900FD with the AIMsi software.”  

According to Amber Earles, Project Manager of Tri-Tech, “We wanted to come up with a robust and cost effective solution that we could include in our version 11 release of AIMsi.  Our hope was to standardize formatting thus creating an easier-to-implement solution, both for our users and our development team.  We found this combination in the CR900FD scanner with the added DL Parse.  Code was able to help us customize their devices using their existing tools and features. CRS introduced us to Code and they are able to supply the devices to us at a reasonable price.  This is a great solution and a great partnership! ”

All three companies will be exhibiting at the RSPA RetailNOW Convention. The trade show will take place at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center in Orlando, FL from August 2nd-5th.  The scanning solution will be on display in Tri-Tech’s booth #906.
