Mission

  • Providing exceptional automation components for business applications.
  • Delivering quality customer service and technical support.
  • Giving back a portion of the company's profits to charities.

  • Keep existing products up to date.
  • Discover new ways to automate.
  • Implement the best methods.
  • Make it as easy as possible for our clients.
  • Continue to give to charities.

Internal Systems

IDAutomation can provide employees the same capabilities at home as in the office and keep operating costs down by leveraging new technologies such as IP phones and web-enabling all applications with redundant servers in multiple locations. This allows the staff of IDAutomation to relocate in the event of a natural disaster 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. IDAutomation uses a cloud-based spam email filtering service with production servers hosted offsite in certified data centers.

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 who was not involved in 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 processes 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 are 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 6 employees and associates with a broad spectrum of expertise in business solutions, automation, support, software development, and marketing. 

IDAutomation Donates

IDAutomation recognizes the importance of Charities and donates 10% or more of company profits to charities, which include:
