Data Collection Solution: Compac Is "Sorting" Out Efficiencies In Material Handling With The Help Of Bridgelogix's Bridge2Barcode
From sorting pomegranates to classifying kiwis, Compaq Sorting Equipment is a pioneer when it comes to designing machinery for fruit and vegetable sorting. As a world leader in fruit sorting technology, Compac understands the importance of helping its customers drive up margins and maximize efficiencies. Compac also understands the benefits of technology, using a unique carrier system, advanced software electronics and precise measurement systems to sort produce by weight, size, color, shape, density, blemish or defects, taste, internal characteristics and more. Therefore, when Compac began searching for ways to improve and streamline material handling in its operation, barcode data collection was a logical solution.
Founded in 1984, Compac has been using Baan V since 2000 as the enterprise system for its 100 employee business. The company began searching for a barcode data collection solution that would complement that existing Baan installation. That search led to Bridgelogix and Bridge2Barcode , the premier data collection solution in the Baan arena.
"Compac is proud of its state-of-the-art reputation as a global leader in our industry. We have been exporting our equipment around the world for more than a decade," said Paul Hornell, Finance Manager for Compac. "Since our business hinges on improving the bottom line for our customers with the help of technology, it is important that we as a company help set an example by capitalizing on all of the benefits that today's technology offers. After much research and a visit to an excellent reference site, we selected Bridgelogix and Bridge2Barcode to take our Baan implementation to the next level."
Bridgelogix's Bridge2Barcode is a data collection solution that not only brings a new level of ease of use to the Baan and ERPLN products, but also contains a long list of strong features that assist any company using Baan or ERPLN in maximizing their investment. The Bridge2Barcode component design lends itself to mirroring a company's unique business processes with the ability to combine multiple Baan transactions into a single step, simplifying day-to-day tasks and thereby increasing job performance and satisfaction – all without customizing Baan sources.
In order to maximize its investment in Baan, Compac has purchased four Bridge2Barcode device licenses and will implement the product in conjunction with Intermec hardware.
"Meaningful support and a solid reputation were key factors in our choice of a new solution," Hornell said. "We found that not only are Bridgelogix customers a group of very happy companies, but also the in-depth Baan knowledge that the Bridgelogix professionals possess was unrivaled. We are excited about the potential that this level of knowledge can offer us in the areas where we need improvements. It is nice to have top-notch technology partners who are willing to brainstorm with us, to understand our unique requirements and to help us work toward an ideal solution for our environment. That is what we have found with Bridgelogix and Bridge2Barcode . They will help us maintain our leadership position in the technology of fruit and vegetable sorting."
"Compac is a very progressive company that will fit perfectly in the Bridgelogix family of customers. We are always excited when we see a growing company like Compac eager to profit from the benefits that a solution like Bridge2Barcode can offer," said Koty Krishna, founder and CEO of Bridgelogix. "We appreciate the fact that Compac recognized our Baan expertise – that expertise is certainly something that differentiates Bridgelogix from our competition. When you combine our knowledge base with a superior product such as Bridge2Barcode, exceptional results are sure to follow. We are excited about the potential at Compac Sorting and look forward to being a long-term collaborative partner in its prosperous future."
