We build it and we run it. That is the whole story.
STOCKflow is the RFID and Auto-ID platform by SQUARE Concepts. We supply the labels, the readers, the software and the integration to the system you already have. There is no third party in between who can point at someone else when it does not work.
What we are and what we are not
Wel
- One party for labels, hardware, software and the integration
- Starting with a paid measurement instead of a rollout
- Saying when a barcode is enough, even when that earns us less
- Writing down what did not work, in the same report as what did
Niet
- A software house that resells hardware and points at the supplier
- An integrator implementing someone else's package
- A party promising real-time positions with passive RFID
- Someone who sends a quote without having seen your material
That we supply everything ourselves is not an argument in itself; it becomes one the moment something does not work. A label that will not read on your metal is then not a discussion between three parties but simply our problem.
How we work
The same order with every customer, and that order is the most valuable thing we have to offer.
01 / First the process
What goes wrong, how often, and who notices? Most of the hardware questions we get are really process questions, and we would rather answer those first.
02 / Then a measurement
A small paid Proof of Value on one process, with a baseline measurement up front. That is the only way to know whether it works at your place instead of whether it works somewhere.
03 / Only then scale
A phased rollout, with a decision point at every step. If the numbers disappoint it stops, and you have avoided an expensive mistake.
Who we are
Two numbers worth keeping apart: how long the company has existed, and how long we have been doing RFID. The second one is shorter and it is the number that counts.
- SQUARE Concepts
- Founded in 2004
- Experience with RFID
- More than 15 years
- Where we are
- Zaltbommel, and on the floor with customers in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany
- What we supply
- Labels, readers, software and the integration; all in our own hands
That the company is older than the RFID practice is not a detail. Auto-ID was here before RFID became usable and affordable, and that is exactly why we also say when a barcode is enough.
