About IDAutomation:


IDAutomation.com, Inc., (IDAutomation) was founded in 1996 and incorporated in 1998. IDAutomation is dedicated to providing a professional line of hardware and software components for the automation of identification and is currently located in Suite 230 of the building at 550 N. Reo St. in Tampa, Florida.

IDAutomation's products are affordable for small and medium businesses, yet scalable enough to be used by large corporations. Over 70% of Fortune 100 companies use IDAutomation products to automate their businesses. Partnerships between IDAutomation and Business Objects, IBM, FileMaker and Microsoft Corporation allow collaboration to provide fast and reliable components for related products and access to pre-release versions of applications and operating systems for testing.

Internal Systems:

IDAutomation is able to allow its employees the same capabilities at home as in the office, and keep operating costs down by leveraging new technologies such as IP phones from Commx and web-enabling all applications with redundant servers in multiple locations. This allows the staff of IDAutomation to relocate in the event of a hurricane and still provide the same great service and support. Because overhead is low and employees can work from anywhere, customers can be assured that IDAutomation will be in business for many years to come and will continue to provide quality support and upgrades.

Product Testing:

IDAutomation uses strict testing procedures that are followed before any product release. Thorough testing of barcode components is critical because bugs may appear in the symbology or in the component architecture itself. In addition to the testing procedures used by the developer during and after development, a developer that was not involved on the project performs several final tests before passing the product to QA for final testing and release.

Company Processes:

Processes and procedures at IDAutomation are documented to ensure a proper information transfer during employee / contractor turnover, which is similar to the procedures required for ISO 9001 certification.

Product Licensing:

IDAutomation keeps a record of customer licenses when products are ordered. To ensure data integrity, the license database and all other company data is replicated (copied) to multiple systems and copied to a remote (off-site) location. Additional measures are taken to ensure privacy.

The Staff:

IDAutomation is comprised of individuals with a broad spectrum of expertise in business solutions, automation, support, software development and marketing. Employees are motivated to provide quality customer service and support with incentive programs such as bonuses, profit sharing, 401K plans and group health insurance from Superior Benefits, Inc.
