Activant, Data Conversion Solutions Inc. Collaborate in Streamlining
Services for Users of Wireless Data Collection System
LIVERMORE, CA, October 10, 2007 - Activant Solutions Inc. and Data Conversion Solutions Inc. (DCS) have signed an agreement through which Activant will provide comprehensive support and related services to customers who have integrated the DCS QuickCollect-RF™ wireless data collection system into their Activant Ultimate™ platforms.
Effective immediately, all aftermarket distributors, jobbers and retailers who have integrated the QuickCollect-RF system with an Activant Ultimate distribution management solution can receive complete support for the system simply by contacting the Activant Automotive Products Customer Support department at 1-800-678-7423.
“This agreement enables our organization to focus on what we do best – develop innovative wireless software solutions – while ensuring that Activant customers receive the most convenient and effective support possible,” said DCS President Douglas Booth.
The comparatively low-cost QuickCollect-RF system integrates wireless handheld or fixed-station data scanning capabilities into the Activant Ultimate platform, enabling parts businesses to replace inefficient and inaccurate paper-based receiving, picking, shipping and re-stocking processes. The QuickCollect-RF system is operated through the Activant Ultimate platform’s main server, allowing customers to leverage its benefits across multiple locations.
“Single-source availability and support of the QuickCollect-RF system is the ideal solution for our customers,” said Tom Aliotti, vice president and general manager of the Activant automotive business. “We are committed to helping our Ultimate platform users maximize their business performance through proven, powerful solutions and fast, efficient and accurate support. This new support agreement is the right answer for our customers.”
