Ship2Save offers RFID laboratory

Wednesday, October 1, 2008

Ship2Save has announced that it has completed the expansion of its Montreal headquarters, and is currently populating its RFID testing laboratory with RFID equipment. The new laboratory offers RFID solutions with a controlled testing environment for Ship2Save, its affiliates, and its customers. The laboratory will serve as a sales-platform of RFID products and solutions geared towards end-users.

Ship2Save uses this two-pronged strategy as an improvement to the features of its laboratory and as an extension of Ship2Save’s new go to market strategy comprising a formal sales channel program. The laboratory will be accessible on a complimentary basis as a showcase to end-users for Ship2Save authorized resellers, and it will be available for testing purposes for a nominal fee.

Once the laboratory set-up is complete, Ship2Save will hold an open house for RFID resellers and hardware companies. With a growing number of resellers filling the RFID space, few can afford to invest in the infrastructure required for solution testing or demonstration. Ship2Save answers this need by offering a centralized location where reseller operational and marketing requirements can be wholly satisfied, and where closing a sale is substantially facilitated. [end]
