Axiell Announces New Supply Agreement with Europe’s Largest RFID Supplier, Bibliotheca
Axiell continues emphasis on technology and business solutions whilst now offering additional RFID products through its new agreement with Bibliotheca.
Nottingham, United Kingdom, December 11, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Technology and business solutions specialist for UK public libraries and archives, Axiell, announced a new partnership with Bibliotheca RFID Library Systems at the fifth annual RFID in Libraries Conference in London this year. Axiell continues its focus on RFID which complements its ‘one stop shop’ approach covering all technology requirements for the library, from library management system to managed service, EDI, single search and wireless access control. Its new partnership will give UK libraries access to the full range of Bibliotheca expertise and equipment, supported by Axiell’s distribution and support infrastructure.
Jim Burton, Axiell’s UK Managing Director says, “Our agreement with Bibliotheca means we can now offer an expanded range of Axiell and Bibliotheca RFID products – including the new Bibliotheca variable height kiosk and the tunnel reader for bulk returns. We also continue to support customers using Axiell’s RFID products and received excellent feedback from users at the CILIP conference, including mention of the excellent customer service we provide, the quality of the equipment and great interest in the Shelf Reader.”
Johannes Rogg, Bibliotheca’s UK Managing Director commented, “With the establishment of Bibliotheca Ltd we’re demonstrating our commitment to the UK market and through our partnership with Axiell we can offer a wide network of highly qualified service engineers across the country along with a well-supported helpdesk for our customers.”
The combined Bibliotheca/Axiell customer base comprises over 40 public & academic libraries across the UK & Ireland. These include Dudley Library Service which has been shortlisted in the e-Government National Awards 2009 for its RFID self-service project with Axiell.
Axiell’s RFID strategy has been to integrate with the best performing open standard pieces of hardware and this is augmented by Bibliotheca’s products which comply with international certification regulations such as American FCC standards and US UL certification as well as supporting the UK’s ISO 28560-2 and relevant standards for all the countries of Bibliotheca operation. Axiell also provides onsite support to UK customers whilst Bibliotheca gears up its UK business.
