History, experience and credibility.
INS is part of a group of three limited companies all based out of premises under 1-mile from London Heathrow Airport.
The group consists of Electronic Handling Ltd, HDS Freight Ltd and INS Ltd.
HDS Freight has been trading for the longest period of time at just over 30-years. Designed specifically for the
movement of computer and hi-tech equipment from the USA. HDS Freight has now flourished and is a major import
agent from China and the Far East, offering cross trade services, bonded warehouse, and having accreditation to ISO
9001 and AEO certification.
EHL was created and incorporated over 25 years ago as a natural extension of the services offered by HDS Freight. An
entire fleet of Air -Ride vehicles and technically trained operatives gives EHL to edge when providing specialised
transport and installation services to the technology and medical industries and also having accreditation to ISO 9001.
INS became a realisation in 1999 and was implemented to facilitate the requirements of a number of I.T manufacturers
that needed a cradle to grave method of getting their products from country of origin to the user in the UK and Europe.
One of these Manufacturers happened to be Wasp Barcode and INS were indeed the first UK and EU distributor for
them. INS also holds ISO9002 Accreditation.
The INS portfolio has grown exponentially with the addition of INS Infrastructure Services, INS Web Services, INS IT
Support and of course INS Barcode. After much research, We recognised the unique way in which Unitech have built
their portfolio of products and services and decided to invest our time and budget into producing a huge website devoted
entirely to Unitech. Our intention was to prospect incremental business rather than to poach existing business.
Spreading the existing business even thinner reduces margins, de-values the product and brings nothing more to the
table for anyone involved. Our initial investment for the 78 page website was £4000.00 plus vat and our Google adwords
invoice averages £300.00 per month. Quite a significant investment for a company to take on without any request for
contribution.
We have discussed at length the ways in which we can target new or develop existing vertical markets and the obvious
choice for us, given our internal experience, is warehousing, transport and logistics. Currently, Unitech don't have a
solution in a box for this market and we felt this a prime target for our efforts. A solution to include the necessary
hardware, software, installation, training, support and consumables is something that we really do see some mileage in.
I personally know of a number of warehousing companies that have already made varying degrees of investment in
barcode technology that they have shelved and don't use. It is commonplace for the bundled software from others to try
to be too many things to too many industries and very quickly becomes very confusing. Scanners, printers and software
have been left on the very warehouse shelves that they were originally intended to manage. The key element here for
success is installation, training and support based on a stable and secure platform from a recognised Manufacturer with
good brand recognition.

Planned, targeted marketing of iWarehouse
We have established through CorpData that there are approximately 7600 warehousing and logistics companies in the UK with 1200 of them within a 20 mile radius of Heathrow airport which would be the perfect proving ground for our new iWarehouse bundle project. Our plan would be to market to all 1200 of the local ones in a multi-pronged attack.
The customer data would have to be come from a recognised source which will include email addresses, postal addresses and main decision makers names.
- A professional email advert linked to an online version would be sent to all individuals on the list.
- A personally addressed letter with details of the iWarehouse bundle would be posted to each individual.
- Warehousing trade press advert campaign - To be discussed and agreed
- A telemarketing campaign would ensure that each and every contact on the list would receive a call directly from an INS member of staff.
- A considered upgrade to Google Adword keywords and subsequent landing page that is in keeping with the email and postal marketing material.
- Repeat calls to contacts until it is established that there is absolutely 'No interest'

Suggestions and considerations.
- Brand awareness at end user level for Unitech does need some work. Managed UK Press releases for, first and foremost, the company as a whole but also for all of the new product releases. We need for the Unitech logo to be recognised and assimilated to barcoding solutions without the need to read the word Unitech. We have approached an international Marketing agency in addition to the details provided for UKWA's marketers and can provide details if required.
- Unitech should consider membership with UKWA as the member benefits and client interaction could prove to be very useful.
- Unitech may want to handle to production of the packaging of we supply to dimensions and expected weight of the contents.
- Software Media to be included within the box - Activation code to be emailed after the purchase.
- Bundle can be assembled in the INS warehouse to begin with if required.
- INS can manage all replies, responses, enquiries and prospects. Progress reports can be produced as required.
- Separate email address to be created - iwarehouse@insbarcode.co.uk - This can be forwarded to any group of email addresses.
- General look and feel, including the brand name needs to be agreed by all. iWarehouse is purely a suggestion made by INS based on the popularity of the lower case letter 'i' and the word 'Warehouse' to leave no-one in any doubt about what the product actually is.
- There needs to be a sanity check of the kit list to ensure that all cables/ancillaries are included.
- Consideration needs to be given to how we can make this product work internationally.
- Product need to be made available through distribution.
- Unitech are to consult with Portech and Citizen with regard to marketing fund contribution.
- A broad discussion regarding software functionality is required.
- An RRP, distribution cost and reseller cost needs to be discussed and agreed.
- Is the HT680/MS840BT the best overall products to use and the one likely to bring us the most success?
- Future upgrades and add-ons should be factored into any financials.
- A list of system requirements will need to be compiled for the warehouse PC, Handheld device and the Server.
- Will INS have exclusivity for any enquiries that filter through to either Distribution and or Unitech Direct?
