RFID Solution: AeroScout Launches New Partner Program To Extend Global Reach And Customer Support

Leading Provider of Wi-Fi-based Active RFID Helps Channel Partners Worldwide Deliver Asset Tracking Solutions; Also Achieves ISO 9001 Certification

AeroScout, Inc., the leading provider of Wi-Fi-based Active RFID solutions, has launched the AeroScout Partner Program, providing key partners with the tools they need to meet the growing customer demand for AeroScout's market-leading suite of products.

AeroScout works with over 150 value added resellers, systems integrators and software providers, such as Philips Medical Systems and NEC Unified Solutions, to provide solutions for healthcare, manufacturing, logistics and other industries worldwide. The AeroScout Partner Program provides them with a comprehensive set of tools, collateral and training, as well as an incentive program, in order to capitalize on the growing opportunity within the global Active RFID market.

"We see tremendous opportunities to deliver asset tracking solutions to our existing customer base as well as new prospects," said Paul Lopez, GM of Marketing & Services, NEC Unified Solutions. "As an AeroScout partner, we can take advantage of these opportunities by building and delivering location-based services with the market's leading Wi-Fi-based Active RFID technology."

With offices and representatives in North America, EMEA, APAC and Latin America, AeroScout provides solutions to meet the needs of the healthcare, manufacturing and logistics markets. AeroScout helps businesses improve key processes through the accurate tracking and detection of valuable assets. For example, within the healthcare sector, AeroScout products are used to help nurses accurately locate infusion pumps on a hospital floor. In aerospace manufacturing, the solution helps ensure that valuable airplane parts and equipment are in the right place at the right time for assembly.

As further proof of AeroScout's commitment to its partners and customers, the company has recently achieved certification of its company-wide internal processes according to the ISO 9001:2000 standard. This quality management standard ensures that AeroScout follows efficient and effective business processes.

"The Active RFID market is maturing quickly, and this program not only reflects our proven success with partners and customers to date, but also lays the foundation for further growth," said Gabi Daniely, Vice President of Marketing and Product Strategy at AeroScout. "The AeroScout Partner Program and our ISO 9001 certification are both important validations of our ongoing dedication to our partners and customers."

The AeroScout Partner Program operates at three levels:

  • AeroScout Certified Partner: At the basic level, partners with a proven dedication to selling AeroScout systems receive a complete set of support tools and training, in order to ensure success in their target customer markets
  • AeroScout Silver Partner: This level is designed for partners providing additional support and professional services
  • AeroScout Gold Partner: These partners have demonstrated an expert knowledge of AeroScout products and support, and provide added value to their customers through professional services and other capabilities.
