"Since LLR's RFID deployment, the firm's overall productivity has dramatically improved," said Vincent Remy, associate lawyer of LLR. "In addition, integration of the new system was extremely rapid. The firm did not have to change its referencing system or the files themselves to accommodate the RFID tags."
LLR specializes in patent law and intellectual property for individuals and companies. The firm is 40-people strong and has yearly revenues in excess of four million Euros. The company manages more than 30,000 archived files and adds between 5,000 and 6,000 new files every year. The office uses up to 80 files each day; every employee has access to them, and they are stored on shelves or on desks. LLR's logistics division handles database updates as well as physical search and retrieval of files for any service department within the firm. Until now, searching for files was a cumbersome task -- especially since files often moved frequently from one employee to the next. At worst, locating a single file could take several days.
To help LLR achieve reliable and fast file tracking, Indent and Tagsys combined Indent's Pocket-Filetrak with Tagsys' award-winning, wand-shaped, HF Wi-Fi inventory reader -- attached to a portable Pocket-PC terminal. The terminal runs Windows Mobile 5.0 and Indent's Pocket-Filetrak and Filetrak-Web software. By passing the wand in front of tagged files, the device enables instant identification of files without having to manually handle them.
"Indent and Tagsys were natural partners for the LLR project," said Frederic Hauser, managing director of Indent. "LLR has already begun to see the benefits of immediate ROI and a hassle-free system for managing its extensive archive."
"Indent and Tagsys' success at LLR has added the millions of legal or government documents in the world to the list of items than can be tagged and tracked with an RFID infrastructure," said Olivier Burah, Tagsys' vice president of sales for Europe. "Furthermore, the system can be quickly and easily implemented with immediate, measurable ROI."
