LOCATE Inventory and Scale-Tec Collaborate
on New Agricultural Technology

 

Orange County, California-based LOCATE Inventory, and Anamosa, Iowa and Galion, Ohio-based Scale-Tec, Ltd., have joined forces to collaborate on Scale-Tec’s new innovative scale display, POINTTM.

Utilizing LOCATE’s cloud-based API, POINT allows its users to collect and analyze real-time weight and mass data. And because of its cloud-based technology, users are able to digitally connect with Scale-Tec to view diagnostics and handle trouble-shooting issues in real time.

“It is very exciting to see that customers like Scale-Tec are using LOCATE to expand their potential,” said George Keliher, founder and CEO for LOCATE Inventory. “This is just the tip of the iceberg. The cloud opens up limitless possibilities for our clients in many industries, including farming and agriculture.”

“We are turning the page in the agriculture industry here at Scale-Tec,” added Scale-Tec President Nick Von Muenster. “Being able to offer a product that ties in manufacturing, warehousing, programming and sales of technology through API interface of cloud-based systems is a real game-changer.”

What LOCATE’s technology has done is it has made POINT easily configurable. When a user activates their scale product through LOCATE’s API interface technology, the configuration profile is sent to POINT through the cloud and is automatically calibrated for the user. Below are some additional features that LOCATE and Scale-Tec have collaborated on to develop:

  • POINT provides all the simplicity of a basic scale but it also comes with mobile apps that enhance its capabilities with the use of a smart-phone or tablet. POINT supports both Android and iOS (Apple) mobile apps for use as a remote display.
  • Advanced Bluetooth® capability also provides long-range connection capability of more than 1,000 feet. The advanced connectivity allows multiple tablets and smartphones to connect to the POINT scale display simultaneously for the sharing and displaying of weight data. POINT can also connect to other Bluetooth® wireless devices, such as an EID Tag reader, allowing animal identification to be read alongside the weight of the animal for record-keeping purposes.
  • POINT users can update their software through the cloud. Users receive a notification when a software update is available and they can quickly install the update through the mobile app.
  • POINT users are able to contact the Scale-Tec support team directly through the mobile app. The support team also has the capability of performing a remote support session with customers, allowing Scale-Tec’s support staff to virtually access the user’s POINT display and diagnose the entire scale system.

POINT is currently available to customers in the United States and Canada.

LOCATE Partner Program

LOCATE Partner Program

We are excited to formally introduce the LOCATE Partner Program! We’re mixing the customer service you know and love with the knowledge and experience of industry experts to further enhance the LOCATE ecosystem. There are three tiers of partnership we are offering:

Resellers

These partners want to help their customers get to the next level by referring them to LOCATE. Once the Reseller partner has qualified the candidate to ensure sure that LOCATE is a good fit, they’ll transfer the customer to the LOCATE team to coordinate a demo. LOCATE will guide the customer through the remainder of the sales process, including quoting for implementation and license pricing. Reseller partners will receive a commission based on user license pricing for the first 12 months of subscription billing.

Preferred Partners

Preferred Partners want to take the roll of Reseller to the next level by not only referring customers to LOCATE, but also providing additional supplementary services for all LOCATE customers. These services may include implementations, business consulting, custom reporting, and/or accounting expertise. Preferred Partners work closely with our team to help support LOCATE customers as their businesses grow.

Full-Service Preferred Partners

Further beyond Preferred Partners, Full-Service Preferred Partners have dedicated customers for whom they will provide full support into the future. These one-stop-shop partners are often involved in many areas of a customer’s business, and are fully versed in their unique challenges and strengths. We offer additional commission and compensation for these incredible, full-service partners.

If you’re interested in joining the team and becoming a LOCATE partner, submit the form on our Partner Page and we’ll be in touch.
