STORIS’ clients utilizing these solutions now have a certified vendor that is dedicated to the hardware procurement needed to implement these advanced technologies.

Emkat is an advisor of services and supplier of hardware equipment including Bluetooth and Corded Barcode Scanners, Thermal Label Printers, Pre-Printed Label Services, and Wireless Infrastructure Surveys.

This partnership improves the installation of these advanced technologies as STORIS and Emkat work together to make the process more efficient for everyone involved. Retailers can purchase Emkat's service options including an onsite visit to a client's warehouse where a site survey, access point recommendations, and barcode gun installation occur. Emkat provides the retailer with ongoing warranties and maintenance on their equipment.

As Emkat is a certified STORIS partner, they are trained on STORIS specific Barcode and Advanced Warehouse Management processes that allow them to offer personalized consultation to the retailer. Emkat provides clients with a direct line of support for any questions they may have during the duration of the retailer's use of barcoding and warehouse equipment purchased from Emkat. STORIS chose Emkat as their preferred hardware vendor and service provider for their diligence towards customer service, responsiveness, and dedication to the continued growth of their clients beyond the initial product installation.

"Emkat has proven to be a genuine partner that goes beyond the supply of equipment and also helps partners streamline their warehouse and inventory operations,” commented Marilyn Durning, VP of Client Services at STORIS. “Emkat is very responsive and are experts in their field.
