Singapore, May 2014 - Datamax-O'Neil, a global provider of label and receipt printing solutions, has secured the opportunity to supply mobile printing solutions to an Indonesian oil palm company that specialises in edible oils and fats.

In this project, Datamax-O'Neil's ultra-rugged 2-inch portable printer, microFlash? 2te, was paired with a handheld terminal to successfully achieve sales force automation. Plantation employees previously relied on manual tracking and recording, and inventory management became a challenge as large quantities and numerous teams of people were involved.

Reputed to be the industry's smallest, most rugged and reliable wireless portable printer, the microFlash 2te is built to withstand the most punishing environments. In addition, its compatibility with a wide variety of handheld computers from leading manufacturers means a simpler integration of systems that is most cost-effective for end users.

Employees now use the microFlash 2te to print receipts when tracking the quantity and date of harvest. Straight off the bat, the plantation company was pleased with the time-savings enjoyed, as well as how efficiently inventory checks could now be completed with reduced likelihood of human error. Operationally, the implementation improved workflow among the field workers.

Commenting on other factors that helped secure the contract, James Chew, Regional Manager for SEA & South Asia, Datamax-O'Neil, revealed, "With strong support from our premier partner, Autopack, our customer always had access to professional advice or troubleshooting assistance. This certainly helped them in taking the decisive action to adopt automation, and we're confident that this partnership will lead to more business wins in the future."
