Small businesses now can find affordable productivity tools at the world's largest office products company
PLANO, Texas - Oct. 25, 2007 - Starting in October, productivity solutions from Wasp Barcode Technologies will be stocked on the shelves of Staples' 1,400 stores in the United States, dramatically expanding retail access to Wasp's barcoding solutions designed especially for small businesses.
"The small business owners who are most likely to benefit from our solutions already trust Staples as a primary resource for office supplies," said Steve Coffman, president of Wasp Barcode Technologies. "This makes Staples an ideal retailer for Wasp's affordable barcoding solutions, which help small companies dramatically improve their productivity and profitability."
Staples will carry two Wasp products in their Software department - WaspLabeler and WaspNest. WaspLabeler is used to quickly create and print barcode labels for product, inventory, shipping and mailing labels. WaspNest is a value-packed suite that includes a barcode scanner, barcode labeling software and tracking software for basic inventory and asset tracking.
"IDC's recent end-user research indicates surprising interest among small business owners in purchasing technology products from office superstores like Staples," said Merle Sandler, research manager for SMB and home office programs at research firm IDC. "For example, one in five small firms currently purchases PCs from office superstores. Adding Wasp Barcode solutions to these superstore shelves will help meet the productivity needs of small businesses."
Wasp's own customer research confirmed the largely unmet need for barcoding solutions among small business owners and discovered the unique affiliation business owners have with their local office stores.
"As a Staples' customer for more than 10 years, I'm delighted to see Wasp products now available at their stores," said Skip Felscher, of an antiques and collectibles business in Edmonds, Wash. "Because my business involves antiques and collectibles, using barcodes to track my inventory is essential. I purchased the WaspNest package, which has become indispensable for the smooth operation of my business."
