We've been working with RFID since the time of Alien Technology, but we only sell Zebra RFID products now and have for some time. And up until recently we had not reached the highest RFID certification within their partner program. See how we climbed the ranks to become one of Zebra's Premier RFID Partner Specialists!

Over the years we've created various products of our own.

Do we have our own warehouse? Yes. Do we use it for fulfillment purposes? Yes.

The road to transitioning to a full featured ERP has been a long one. We used to operate with QuickBooks and in 2021 migrated to using Microsoft's Business Central. With the guidance of our own Drew Kipfer (Director of Business Systems) and very patient employees who were willing to take the time to learn, we were able to yield our ERP into how we operate as a company. So here we are, sharing how we crossed over and what effects it had on our customers.

Faces! And no we're not talking about that band from the 70's. We're talking about the NEW faces at EMP. These guys have different talents and are less...British. However, with higher education institutions focusing less and less on our industry, it's becoming more difficult to find good, qualified people. In this article we continue to unapologetically boast our luck, acknowledging our wonderful new additions to the EMP Team that will carry on the torch.

Who doesn't like a company party? Well, I guess if you have 1,000 employees it might be a bit daunting. But for a company like us, with over 30 employees, we're still able to host ourselves if we want. And that's just what we did a few weeks back. We invited the families, the spouses, the significant others, and grilled out with Dave Mattingly serving the finest brats this side of the White River. Check out the footage of good times, good people, and good food!
