One day in 1996, John of Inventory Science Systems who was the owner of an
inventory auditing service, decided that he could make a new handheld data
collector that would be better than any other available.
John then approached someone to design the housing and its related parts.
Two months later, armed with the drawings of the housing of his new Baby,
John excitedly surfed the Internet and sent approximately 100 inquiries
worldwide to find someone to make the housing for him.
A few companies got back to John. Others didn't even bother to reply.
Of those who replied, some echoed BIG BUCKS while others were too vague
in their answers, and some of the injection molders said that it would
take up to one year to get the mold made.
And then from the across the net, came a solid reply. It was from a company
called Actech. Actech answered John's call for help, asked the right
questions and determined within 24 hours what John's needs were.
Upon receipt of all relevant information, Actech provided John with a
complete quotation within 48 hours - quick, hassle-free service without
the red tape associated with a BIG Company.
Finally, John & his wife, Lisa, decided to invite Actech to participate
in the delivery of their First new BABY.
On October 8, 1996, John asked Actech to make one set of Mock-Up samples
for him. Two weeks later, Mock-Up samples were delivered to Sacramento,
CA for ISS's evaluation.
On November 15, 1996, following several discussions on minor improvements,
ISS confirmed to GO for the production of the metal molds.
On January 22, 1997, T1 sample, the first molding trial, was sent to ISS
with a proposal for 3 alternate designs as well as 3 remarks on areas for
improvement.
On February 1, 1997, John, after evaluating the T1 samples, advised Actech
on some final, minor detail improvements.
On February 13, 1997, Actech received the samples of the labels to be
applied on the housing.
On March 7, 1997, T2 sample was sent out.
On March 12, 1997, ISS confirmed the first lot of 400 sets.
On April 2, 1997, 240 sets of housing with secondary operations were
shipped by air to Sacramento, California while another 160 sets were shipped by sea.
