Bar Code Printing Now Brings Mobility Efficiencies to Back Office Operation

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., Feb 17, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Zebra Technologies Corporation, a global leader in specialty printing and automatic identification solutions, announces that bar code label printing is now available in Precisio Business Solutions' Ascent for Salesforce CRM. Ascent is an integrated enterprise application suite built on the Force.com platform that provides full-function sales order management, inventory management, warehouse and supply chain management, material requirements, and manufacturing execution management.
