When ScanForce started out 16 years ago, it was in response to demand in the MAS 90/200 (now Sage 100 and Sage 100cloud) community for a better way to automate warehouse processes. Our products have evolved over time, but we've always kept that focus on helping Sage 100 users streamline their warehouse operations through powerful but easy to use technology.

2018 was quite a year here at ScanForce! In case you haven't been keeping up with us, here's what you may have missed as we head into our 16th year in business.

Staff

We created two new strategic roles and filled them with industry veterans:

We introduced our Million Record Challenge, illustrating our superior speed technology.

We are pleased to announce that Shaun Garrity has joined our team as a Client Account Manager. Shaun joins us following 9 years working as an Account Executive at a top Sage reseller. In that time, he recommended our solutions to his Sage 100 customers many times, so we've already had a chance to see him in action providing excellent customer service!

Over the years, Shaun worked with hundreds of manufacturing and distribution companies, and he understands their business needs.

When our friends at CIMcloud told us they were having another Partner Huddle, we didn't have to think twice about accepting the invitation to participate, although we weren't sure how they would top the last one.

The CIMcloud Partner Huddle happens about once a year, bringing together members of the Sage 100 community from around the country for networking, learning, and collaboration.

At ScanForce, we understand warehouse management. We’ve worked with hundreds of warehouse operations, and we often spot trends that inspire us to improve our solutions to better meet our customers’ needs.

One such case is with EDI (Electronic Data Interchange). In recent years, our customers have seen increasing popularity of EDI requirements with retailers.

If you’re like most people, you’re thinking “never”!

One of the most dreaded and time-consuming warehouse tasks is performing a physical count. It’s a mindless, tedious, inconvenient drain on your resources. Not to mention, it’s in no way revenue-generating.

If you’re like many businesses, the ability to complete sales transactions in the field is vital to increasing revenue and customer satisfaction. You want to empower reps to close business on-the-spot - in the field, on the tradeshow floor, in the showroom - wherever the customers are when they’re ready to buy!

When it comes to sales mobility, there are many options available for Sage 100 users.

On Monday, 8/6 Google released its latest Android operating system – Android 9, also known as Android Pie, and we were ready! On that same day, ScanForce released our latest Android 9-ready version.

"We've built Android 9 to learn from you - and work better for you - the more you use it," Google said in a blog post.

Often times here at DSD, we hear from resellers or Sage 100 & Sage 100cloud users:
“I’m looking at the DSD / ScanForce Multi-Bin Products and I don’t know which one to choose?”
Great Question!

But let’s put that on pause for a moment and talk about  DSD / ScanForce Multi-Bin in general.

When our development team told us that ScanForce could search 1,000,000 records in under a second, we were intrigued, but also a little skeptical. After all, there’s a lot that goes into the process behind the scenes, and how do you even measure something that takes less than a second? Had they actually tried it?

That’s when they told us about the Million Record Challenge.
