"In their analysis of software vendors, Becker wanted a system that was highly integrated and more automated," said Ira Bakst, Senior Vice President of STORIS. They also wanted a total program that included many of our tangential products such as SLS, which utilizes Palm Pilots to automate the sales order process, Customer Service and RF Bar Coding, which is currently live in over 50 of our customers' locations. We look forward to a highly beneficial partnership with the entire Becker organization." Becker will be running a 75-user system.
