Intermec has announced the appointment of information and communication technology products and services provider, ECS Computers (Asia) as its value-added distributor (VAD) for the entire range of Intermec mobile computers, bar code printers, and media solutions deployed in the supply chain environment.

Intermec develops, manufactures and integrates technologies that identify, track and manage supply chain assets. ECS Computers (Asia), which is the Singapore-based 100 per cent-owned subsidiary of ECS Holdings, provides integrated solution offerings from industry leading ICT vendors to customers through its wide and established channels.

The distribution agreement which is immediately effective for Singapore from 8 October 2008 will be subsequently rolled out to other Southeast Asian countries including Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

"We appointed ECS as our VAD partner and we believe that the relationship is a highly synergistic one. ECS has an extensive channel partner and reseller base in both Singapore and the rest of Southeast Asia while Intermec has the strongest supply chain infrastructure and service offerings in the market," said Jansen Ek, Vice President & General Manager of Intermec, APAC.

The maiden agreement between the two companies adds a new dimension to ECS' vast product and service portfolio to target the booming regional supply chain industry. The partnership is also intended to support Intermec and ECS' expansion into new markets.

"Together, we are confident that ECS will help us strengthen our channel presence in Singapore and the rest of Southeast Asia with a view to enabling Intermec to increase its leadership in the supply chain arena and enhance customer relationships," he added.

With the addition of ECS as an Intermec value-added distributor, the Intermec partner community can expect to enjoy industry-leading terms and superior turnaround, in both product logistics as well as service and support.
