LONDON, England – Oct. 19, 2022 – Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), an innovator at the front line of business with solutions and partners that deliver a performance edge, today announced the new PartnerConnect Location and Tracking Specialisation for partners focused on selling RFID and real-time location systems (RTLS). Developed as a strategic component of Zebra’s award-winning PartnerConnect™ program, the new Location and Tracking Specialisation provides resellers with the tools they need to drive RFID and RTLS sales and help businesses successfully deploy these solutions for transformational business benefits.

Specialists in the program can sell and deploy location and tracking solutions while advanced specialists can sell and deploy at an enterprise-wide scale and deliver advanced integrations.

“Customers looking to implement Internet of Things (IoT) solutions need trusted, expert partners,” said Diego Gigli, Purchasing Manager at Temera. “This new specialisation with Zebra will help develop and grow our relationship net and the value we bring to our clients.”

These location and tracking solutions support the tracking of inventory, assets, and people in retail stores, warehouses, distribution centres, manufacturing lines, hospitals and sports arenas.

“In 2003, Dipole was the first company to introduce RFID at an industrial level in Spain,” said Santiago Depares, CEO of Dipole. “This specialisation helps distinguish us as leaders. It reinforces our relationship with Zebra and our customers who trust us to deliver solutions to meet their traceability, identification, labelling and data capture needs.”

Zebra also offers the industry’s broadest, field-proven RFID portfolio of fixed and mobile readers, printers/encoders and tags. Zebra was recognised as a Leader in the 2022 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Indoor Location Services for the past three years.[1]
