Infoscan Users

Welcome

Scenic Technology welcomes Infoscan’s former customers to our company.  Scenic is built on the principle that says “your success is our success”.  We strongly value our business relationships and put a great deal of effort into making our customers happy with our products and services.

Background

Late in 2004, Scenic acquired all of the assets of Infoscan, Inc.  We plan to use the Infoscan software assets as a base to build a new, robust, industry-leading set of Supply Chain Execution software products and services under the sce-Star™ brand.  As with all industrial software products, the software is only as good as the customer’s endorsement of these products and, thus, we set out to bring the customer base to the highest possible state of customer satisfaction. 

On January 1, 2005, we incorporated Scenic, bought a consulting company called Zander Technologies, that provides implementation and support services to Supply Chain Execution and set about working with Infoscan customers to improve their user experience and create a healthy client-vendor relationship.  We are never satisfied (nor should our customers be) and this improvement will be on-going.  We are pleased to report that our first full calendar year in business was successful and profitable.

Status of Acquisition

Scenic has performed in-depth analyses of the products, the architecture, and surveyed the customer base to determine where to devote its research and development efforts most effectively.  Scenic has re-branded the products (see below), stabilized the most recent version (v5.0), upgraded all customers to the latest version, and begun working on a new version (v6.0).  Scenic management decided that it was imperative that v6.0 and v5.0 be able to simultaneously co-operate (perfect upward compatibility) so that customers could be upgraded to v6.0 with no disruption of their current operation.  We have accomplished this goal and have now working, in production, various pieces of v6.0 that address some of the parts of v5.0 where our customers felt there was the largest opportunity for improvement.

Strategy with Infoscan Products

Our strategy with the Infoscan products is to build a new brand under the umbrella of the sce-Star™ brand.  You may refer to other parts of our web page for more details.

We intend to continue to upgrade Infoscan customers to sce-Star products by maintaining the same basic infrastructure of Microsoft-based development and database tools. 

We also intend to make sce-Star™ the bell-weather product in the SCE space by making it the most functional and lowest cost product, which can be deployed easily and safely with little financial exposure to our customers.

Rebranding

The sce-Star™ brand uses the ‘sce-‘ to denote that we are dedicated to Supply Chain Execution.  It is pronounced like “sea” or the letter “C”.  Each product is prefixed with the ‘sce-‘ designation.

While sce-Dx™ is our WMS, it is a really just a rebranded and enhanced version of Infoscan’s Dynamic WMS, their original product.  The “Dx” means Distribution Execution.  DWMS existed in two versions (4.5 and 5.0).  Scenic has migrated all v4.5 customers up to 5.0 and is now working on v6.0

In addition to the WMS, Scenic has developed a number of other products which are described here.
