Located in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, Unlimited Technology boasts a robust customer portfolio including private schools, global chemical companies, real estate developers and entire entertainment conglomerates.

The Clear Spider team set up our mobile app to be the main tool used by Unlimited’s technicians. Through the app, a technician can scan an item’s barcode to have access to specific item details and create a digital pick list which tracks what items have been & need to be picked. The barcodes are also scanned when different security items enter and leave the warehouse and this data is used to update inventory levels in Clear Spider in real-time. A FIFO system adapter was also implemented to ensure inventory that has been in the warehouse the longest is used first and this leads to a more efficient use of inventory items.
Clear Spider provides Unlimited Technology with internal clarity so they can focus on helping their customers secure peace of mind.
