On the 10th anniversary of the launch of Intellident, the business is now bigger, bolder and more successful than ever.

Launched in 1999, Intellident was formed as a specialised data capture business with a firm focus on customer service and product innovation – attributes that remain consistent today. This year, the company celebrates its 10th anniversary as Europe’s most successful RFID system integrator.

Today, Intellident employs 100 staff in three countries, is responsible for 3 of the largest 6 global RFID deployments, and includes Marks & Spencer, Tesco and Honda amongst its largest blue-chip customers. In the public and academic library market, over 1,500 Intellident self-service kiosks have been installed in 500 locations, and collectively the business has supplied, and is supporting, over 300 million RFID tags and 4,000 pieces of RFID equipment across over 1,000 European sites.

Significantly, over the last three years, Intellident has been a key partner of GS1 UK, hosting the UK’s RFID Test and Innovation Centre and leading the development of business solutions for the retail, automotive and fresh food supply chain markets.

On the anniversary, Jim Hopwood Managing Director said: “We are extremely proud of our achievements over the last 10 years, and I personally am delighted to have been able to work with a team of such dedicated and talented individuals. The contribution of our excellent staff, our continued strong investment in service and product development, and our truly innovative customers has created a successful and sustainable growing business, which is recognised as a leader in its field.

As the company prepares to enter 2010, we are already anticipating a number of exciting new product innovations, with significant developments due for launch in retail systems and powerful document tracking solutions, employing the latest in global RFID technology.”
