TRG has acquired Barcode Supply for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition marks a significant expansion for TRG into the specialized field of barcode scanning equipment and related services. Barcode Supply is known for its extensive selection of barcode scanners, barcode printers, receipt printers, barcode verifiers, auto ID, and point of sale products. The company also provides essential POS hardware, including cash drawers, touch screens, customer displays, and portable data terminals crucial for inventory control and warehousing operations.
A key differentiator for Barcode Supply is its comprehensive repair and maintenance capabilities. The company services hardware from multiple manufacturers, including equipment that manufacturers may have discontinued or no longer support. Customers benefit from a dedicated Account Manager who guides them through the entire process, from shipping and billing to diagnostics, repair, parts sourcing, and service. Barcode Supply offers various service options, such as annual maintenance programs, flat rate repairs, and free estimate, time and material repair options, alongside an "expedite" service for critical situations where equipment downtime must be minimized.
This strategic acquisition is expected to enhance TRG's service portfolio and market reach. By integrating Barcode Supply's deep expertise in hardware sales, repair, and maintenance, TRG can offer a more complete solution to its customers, addressing the full lifecycle of data capture and point of sale equipment. The synergy between the two entities is anticipated to streamline operations, broaden the combined company's ability to support a wider array of client needs, and reinforce its position in the enterprise technology services sector.
The combined entity is poised to deliver unparalleled support and a comprehensive suite of products and services to businesses reliant on efficient data capture and POS systems. This integration aims to ensure greater operational continuity and productivity for clients by providing robust equipment solutions and expert, timely service, ultimately strengthening the market presence and value proposition of the unified organization.
