Banyan RFID Express Launched at RFID Journal Live Canada - November 27, 2007
Canadian Supply Chain Alliance led by Banyan Commerce creates a $5000 compliance solution for Wal-Mart, Target and DOD (Department of Defense) RFID mandates.
Toronto, ON, November 27, 2007 - The 2nd annual RFID Journal Live-Canada conference at
the Toronto Congress Centre had a few exciting speakers and numerous case studies but the
announcement of the $5000 Banyan RFID Express solution sent shock waves in the exhibition
hall. The Banyan RFID Express solution demystifies RFID Solution simplifying it to the extent that
small and medium enterprises can easily adopt the technology without an extensive learning
curve.
Vijay Thomas, a partner at Banyan Commerce says "The RFID marketplace was a nightmare for
small and medium businesses with solutions costing anywhere from $10,000 to $ 1 million
dollars and almost nobody willing to give a fixed cost estimate. I believe we have changed the
RFID compliance market forever with our $5000 solution. At this price point we provide a 100%
complete solution with an RFID printer, EDI Software with RFID integration, a desktop
verification device and all the testing and implementation services included".
The alliance includes Toronto Area companies, GAORFID and Toshiba TEC Canada. As part of
the alliance GAORFID provides their GenTopTM Standalone RFID Reader/Writer. It supports both
EPC Class1 GEN 1 and GEN 2 Protocols operating in the UHF 860-960 MHz band, supporting both
North America and the EU. Toshiba TEC provides their rugged BSX4 RFID Printers. With a wide
variety of connectivity options including wireless LAN 802.11b and internal Ethernet, the B-SX4
is the perfect combination of performance, quality, and value.
The Banyan RFID Express solution is built on the robust Banyan Commerce SAAS (software as a
service) application framework which is currently in use at hundreds of customers worldwide.
The Banyan Commerce Platform currently services companies ranging from small and medium
businesses to large fortune 500 corporations. Banyan Commerce already shields retail suppliers
from the complexity of dealing with their retail customers in terms of EDI, Data
Synchronization and Bar-Coding. With Banyan RFID Express, retail suppliers, especially small
and medium ones can ensure that all the compliance requirements-including RFID are taken
care of from a single web based interface. The Banyan RFID Express provides 24/7 support and
has a guaranteed uptime of 99.99%.
Edmund Rucels, the Vice President-Sales at GAORFID adds "This alliance comprises of Canadian
companies but all the companies in this alliance have a global footprint. I am excited that we
will be taking this solution to the entire North American marketplace as well as Europe and
Asia in the near future."
A Wal-Mart supplier from Calgary, Alberta remarked "We have spent much more than $5,000 on
conferences and training sessions and we have nothing in place to show for our RFID
compliance deadline of January 2008. The Banyan RFID Express Solution is definitely something
that all suppliers should have on their list of prospective solutions as Banyan also guarantee an
implementation time of 15 days"
