Both resellers are proficient and have extensive knowledge of business processes and systems, having consulted with and installed ERP software in hundreds of companies across the world.

Consultare specializes in SAP Business One and is focused on implementing solutions for professional services, retail and wholesale distribution in the United States and Latin America. The company helps customers to manage their companies more efficiently, utilize their resources better and obtain better and faster information out of their systems.

"Consultare is honored to be part of the Honeywell reseller family," said Gustavo Zientek, CEO of Consultare America LLC. "Honeywell's Guided Work Solutions will enable us to provide our customers with the newest and best technology available to run their warehouses efficiently."

Silver Touch Technologies is an accredited SAP business and Microsoft Gold Certified partner specializing in the implementation, support and development of ERP software in the United States, Europe and India. The company provides solutions encompassing technical needs including IT consulting, system integration services and software development.

"Silver Touch is delighted with this new partnership, which allows us to offer our customers state-of-the-art technology from Honeywell," said Kunjan Jasani, director at Silver Touch Technologies. "This helps us extend the capabilities of our warehouse management system offering, making it a true best-of-breed solution."

Easily con?gured and quickly deployed, the hands-free, eyes-up solution guides a worker through a variety of warehouse tasks, from picking to receiving, replenishment and put-away. Customers have seen 35% productivity gains, 50% error reductions and 20% fewer safety incidents — all while cutting training time in half.

The software runs on a wide range of compatible hardware, including Honeywell's mobile computers and other AndroidTM mobile devices. The Android operating system provides support for multiple interfaces including voice, scanning and keypad.
