About IntekHistory

Intek Integration Technologies develops Supply Chain Execution (SCE) software that helps mid-tier to advanced manufacturers and distribution companies better manage their warehouses, inventory levels and supply chain. Our solution uniquely combines Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Warehouse Control Systems (WCS) into one integrated and superior solution to maximize the efficiency of your operation. Running on the Windows platform, we deliver you significant time to value and TCO benefits compared to our competiton. With Intek, flexibility comes out of the box.

But don't take our word for it! Listen to our Customers!

Listen to our customers, like Petco, one of two companies with commanding market share of the North American pet supply market using our solution - a solution they have grown with and enhanced over the past 14 years - having grown 300% during this time. On a smaller scale, mid-tier customers such as Animal Supply and Bargreen Ellingson have each more than tripled their businesses in just a few years while seamlessly scaling with our software.

In total, we believe we have created the better mousetrap in the SCE market. Why do we say this?

We have created a complete, standard product in a market otherwise filled with solutions requiring heavy customization, long implementation cycles and third party add-ons.
Our software solution, Warehouse Librarian, includes 45 seamlessly integrated application modules that easily mold with the way you do business and with your enterprise platforms.
We provide a technology architecture designed to quickly integrate with the broad array of material handling equipment we find in customer environments.
Our highly modular software architecture allows us to serve the needs of mid-tier clients with currently modest needs, yet scale up to highly advanced implementations with features normally found in only the most expensive, host-based products.

We understand the pressures you and your business face from SKU proliferation, to retail compliance, to collapsing order profiles. These pressures place a high premium on inventory and order accuracy, customer satisfaction, operational labor, and space utilization. We have over 20 years of expertise in assisting its customers to meet these market dynamics head on and turn them into market opportunities

What are the benefits that our customers gain? They:

Achieve and maintain extremely high inventory and fulfillment accuracy (99.5%+)
Utilize warehouse space far more efficiently
Lower inventory levels via increased inventory turns and having far more accurate inventory management (requiring less safety stock)
Substantially lower warehouse labor costs (oftentimes 25% to 50%)
Flexibly expand the number of product lines
Quickly deploy new warehouses/distribution centers
Ensure accurate and timely delivery of product to the customer
Accurately measure operational performance of the distribution center in real-time

The result: We can proudly state that we have never had an implementation failure with our clients. With such low business risk, can we help you meet your business objectives?

Who are the people that bring you this solution? At Intek, our executives have over a decade of experience working together, with a collective industry experience of nearly a century. We're very proud of the quality of our engineering team, as well as the dedication of our support and implementation services team.

Intek was founded in 1987 with a focus on building client server applications in the infant market of personal computer networking. In its early years, Intek built highly customized manufacturing and distribution systems for Apple Computer, Sun Microsystems, and Naval Hospital Balboa Park among others. Intek was an early licensee of AT&T C++ and, until commercial compilers were readily availably, produced and sold a derived work of the AT&T system.

Before the analyst term Supply Chain Execution was used, Intek was building such systems. Intek's background in real-time execution requirements and machine control have been seminal in its software architectural construction, design, and implementation.

Intek also provided publishing control systems to The Plain Dealer, and the Seattle Times/PI during the early 1990s.

In 1992, Intek management determined to create a supply chain execution product. Its goals, in hindsight, do not seem too lofty. It was Intek's intention to invite its thirty clients, which it had implementated custom distribution systems for, to upgrade to its product. Intek's original objective was not to build everything for every kind of manufacturing and distribution environment. But, since its clients were in multiple market verticals, extending an invitation to upgrade to a product built on a single code base turned out to be much more difficult than was first conceived. By the end of 1993, Intek upgraded its first customer to Warehouse Librarian. The original idea for the product name was to evoke the concept of mapping product identity to location. The novel idea of creating data representation for a distribution storage system was a foreign concept at the time (and interestingly remains so).

Intek continued to invest in expanding the capabilities of its product and in developing channel relationships with ancillary products and sales channels.

In 2009, Intek is in its thirteenth major product release and has stratified its product offering across all market tiers so that wide adoption of its platform is possible. Intek has remained a boutique, client focused firm, preferring to be selective about its client relationships and focusing on assisting its clients to obtain competitive advantage by achieving extreme results in accuracy, labor efficiency, and space utilization.

After more than two decades, Intek is now being lauded for its "overnight" success. We know that it is the long term hard work and dedication of employees - many who have served the company for more than a decade, and the strong working relationship with clients who have been eager to support Intek in continuing to build its product platform that has provided us with the success that we have.

And, unlike other companies in this market space, whose management teams transition every two or three years or so, we can continue to say that we want customers for life, because we have been here working with them every step of the way.
