Time to Team Up With Glacier

We are reaching out to you today, as a respected and successful value-added reseller in our industry, to introduce, (or reintroduce) you to partnering with Glacier Computer.  Especially during the Madness of upsets that only comes in March, we too look to upset a few #1 positions in your Forklift Computer offering.

As a value-added reseller/systems integrator, we are mindful of the spirit of pride that you take in offering customers the very best selection of products and services.  Customers trust that you have done your homework and offer them the best solutions that meet their unique requirements.

Glacier and the Kodiak offer several key advantages over the “big guys”:

  • No company has more manufacturing experience in full-screen forklift computers
  • Our Kodiak cost to you is significantly less than what you are currently paying
  • Lead time is as quick as three days from time of order
  • We will return every sales and service call faster than our competitors

Kodiak Built for the ForkliftCOST EXAMPLE:  Kodiak-10” display, PCAP touch, 8GB DRAM, 128GB SSD, Fast Roaming WiFi, Multiple secure I/O, Internal 12-48 VDC Conversion, Internal UPS…..$2,599

Not only is this a compelling argument against other fixed mounted VMT’s, it challenges the possibilities of using a rugged tablet as a VMT, notwithstanding the need for portability.  In addition, Glacier has everything else your customer needs for an entire forklift computing solution:  keyboard, scanner, mounting hardware, printer, impact monitor, safety checklist, custom warranty programs, US depot repair, and special financing.

Glacier Computer, founded in 2000, is now shipping our 5th generation forklift computer, the Kodiak.  With over 30,000 VMT’s shipped since our inception, we are well versed in the challenges and opportunities of forklift computing. Call us now to learn more, get signed up as a reseller or receive a demo for testing.  We look forward to working with you on your next opportunity.

Stop by our booth at Modex, B2122 and say hello.

Is There a ‘Wolf’ Feeding On Your Warehouse?

wolf-stareYou’ve heard the story. Big wolf. Little pigs. Three houses. Guess what? They were Warehouses for bricks, lumber, and yes—straw. The big bad wolf? That was inefficiency eating away at the bottom line.

It was becoming a serious problem.

They’d each taken it on the chinny-chin-chin and were huffing and puffing about improving profits. A much-needed equipment upgrade to go with their Warehouse Management System could do the trick. But what sort of mobile wireless solutions would help them optimize their bottom line and kick the wolf to the curb?

As one of the leaders in the industry, Glacier Computer has spent nearly two decades helping customers build some of the best solutions on the planet. Our forklift mounted computers, rugged tablets, industrial tablet PCs scanners and software solutions are increasing efficiency across an array of industries.

Even after the initial installation, your investment in a Glacier industrial computer system will provide dependability and versatility for years to come; the average life of a Glacier Computer industrial tablet PC is over 5.5 years with manufacturing repairs of less than 4%.

And if we don’t have it, we’ll either create it or source it for you!

If you’ve got a Big Bad Wolf we’ve got his number. And now you’ve got ours. 603.882.1560. Or email us at Sales@glaciercomputer.com, and live happily ever after.

The Siren Song of Lift-Mounted ‘Rugged’ Tablets

Male worker operating forklift in warehouse

In Greek mythology, the Sirens were dangerous yet beautiful creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. In Tablet Mythology the iPad revolution lured warehouse managers and IT specialists toward an emerging rogues gallery of “rugged” tablets as a ‘more affordable’ next-gen productivity solution. But lifts by their very nature produce a set of operating conditions that tablets are not designed to withstand…for very long.

Honeywell did us all a favor by articulating this problem in detail. The sub-heading of their piece says it all. “Why Tablets and Purpose Built Forklift-Mounted Computers Are Not Interchangeable.”
