Point Of Sale, RFID Distribution: BlueStar And Fluensee Ink Distribution Deal
6/22/2007

Fluensee is partnering with Bluestar, the leading distributor of Auto ID, Point-of-Sale, Mobility and RFID products. Beginning this month, BlueStar will offer Fluensee’s new AssetTrack Express software separately or as the main component of an entry-level RFID starter kit.

By adding Fluensee’s AssetTrack Express software to its line card, BlueStar is helping its network of resellers capitalize on the increasing adoption of RFID technology to track assets for a wide array of businesses and industries. As an entry-level offering, AssetTrack Express makes it easy for resellers to begin selling RFID-based solutions; or it can round out the books for resellers already involved with RFID.

“AssetTrack Express is a phenomenal foundation for comprehensive RFID starter kits that we can simply configure to meet our resellers’ needs, alleviating them from the burden of building RFID-based asset-management solutions on their own,” said Steve Cuntz, President and CEO of BlueStar. “With AssetTrack Express, we’re giving resellers an easy avenue to take full advantage of this growing market and expand their customer base.”

Fluensee’s AssetTrack Express is sophisticated, yet simple, RFID-enabled software designed to manage valuable assets. BlueStar is packaging AssetTrack Express into complete RFID starter kits that also include RFID tags and readers, as well as accessories like RFID printers. For resellers interested in fashioning their own kits, BlueStar will sell AssetTrack Express separately.

“Whether a company wants to track IT equipment, furniture, raw materials or any other imaginable asset, AssetTrack Express can automate the process, greatly diminishing the need for labor or the possibility of human error,” said Fluensee CEO Tim Harvie. “AssetTrack Express is a true business solution that overcomes the cost and complexity of stereotypes previously associated with RFID technology, and we’re confident the channel will find it a valuable addition to their solution portfolio.”

AssetTrack Express software is easy to install and configure, enabling businesses to get up and running within one day. The software works with nearly any RFID hardware and can be simply integrated into an existing infrastructure. It helps businesses start exploiting RFID’s many uses, such as monitoring, planning and tracking asset movement, and using analytical reports to improve asset utilization.

Resellers can purchase Fluensee’s AssetTrack Express from BlueStar by calling 800-354-9776 or by visiting BlueStar’s website at www.bluestarinc.com.
