"The acquisition provides a strong financial return to our original investors, as well as a great growth opportunity for Pharos as they benefit from the potential of our team, business model, and solution sets," said Toby Rush, president of Rush Tracking Systems. "With the additional strategic capital Pharos will provide to support accelerated growth of the business, we will focus on continued enhancements to our VisiblEdge RFID lift truck solution and hiring new talent to support our growing client base."
Rush continued, "We remain dedicated to growing revenue by delivering value to our customers, and committed to our mission to be the leading supply chain solution provider of tracking systems to constrained manufacturing and warehouse operations."
"The acquisition serves as further validation that end-to-end RFID solutions are viewed as critical to market development and end-user adoption," said Michael Liard, practice director, RFID for ABI Research. "Across industries, companies are increasingly looking for innovative, effective and reliable total solutions from companies like Rush Tracking to increase productivity and reduce costs as well as deliver business process improvement across operations."
Rush Tracking's RFID enabled lift truck solution, VisiblEdge™, simplifies warehouse operations by eliminating operator barcode scanning, wasted labor and errors. VisiblEdge combines automatic load identification with real-time indoor positioning technology to enable real time tracking of material handling assets and the goods they transport. The solution automatically identifies each load with no operator intervention, and then tracks the load and the lift truck in real time to within a few inches. Enabling a whole new level of warehouse and manufacturing optimization, VisiblEdge can be utilized to improve labor productivity, inventory accuracy, cycle time, safety, and quality and to reduce lift truck fleets and associated costs, such as maintenance and spare parts.
