AbeTech Adds New Midwest Sales Executive to Support Significant Growth in Bar Code and RFID Technology Use

ROGERS, Minn.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--After experiencing significant growth during the past five years, AbeTech has expanded its Midwest sales team to include Jim Higgins. AbeTech is a leading bar code and RFID solutions provider and serves clients around the U.S. in the manufacturing, wholesale, health care, transportation and retail industries.

“Jim’s experience in bar code and RFID solutions will allow for an easy and natural transition, and will ensure our clients in Illinois and the surrounding area continue to enjoy AbeTech’s best in class service and support.”

“Gone are the days of inefficiently tracking inventory with a pen and pad of paper,” says Brent Pollard, vice president of sales at AbeTech. “In a lean economy, productivity and profitability are the name of the game. When Wal-Mart set the new standard with bar code and RFID tracking systems five years ago, our business grew immediately. The addition of Jim Higgins will help our Midwest clients continue to recognize the benefits of RFID and bar code in their operations.”

Higgins joins AbeTech as an account executive out of the company’s Chicago office and is focused on connecting AbeTech’s industry leading systems with Midwest customers. Higgins will work to consult and support many of his customers in Illinois and nearby states to reduce their costs of doing business and improve their customer service.

AbeTech is a Zebra Technologies Premium Value Added Reseller, and through this relationship Higgins will provide clients with specialty printing and automatic identification systems.

“AbeTech’s Midwest client base mainly consists of clients in the retail and manufacturing industries,” says Pollard. “Jim’s experience in bar code and RFID solutions will allow for an easy and natural transition, and will ensure our clients in Illinois and the surrounding area continue to enjoy AbeTech’s best in class service and support.”

Higgins joins AbeTech with more than 10 years of experience selling wireless mobility, bar code and RFID solutions having worked for both industry manufacturers and resellers. Most recently, Higgins was involved in selling WMS to JD Edwards, Oracle and other top ERP users. Higgins holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Loyola University Chicago.
