StrandWare offers automatic upgrade for Label Matrix users

Bar code labeling and tracking software products manufacturer StrandWare Inc. (Eau Claire, WI) has announced an automatic upgrade program for Label Matrix customers. Called the Get Smart Automatic Upgrade Plan, it relieves both customers and StrandWare resellers from planning, scheduling and purchasing Label Matrix upgrades.

Label Matrix is a widely installed bar code labeling software product that is sold exclusively through a large network of StrandWare industry partners. It has an installed base of almost 150,000 copies.

The Get Smart Automatic Upgrade Plan ensures that customers always have the latest version of Label Matrix, which StrandWare continually enhances. Customers can sign up for the program when they purchase Label Matrix. The Get Smart Automatic Upgrade Plan is offered for all versions of Label Matrix including Label Matrix standalone versions, networked five-user licenses, and multi-user Corporate licenses. When a new version of Label Matrix is issued, customers automatically receive the update via CD.

Resellers also benefit since they can distinguish themselves as providers of a long-term, quality labeling solution that evolves to enable customers to take full advantage of the latest technology. Resellers also benefit from the plan since, when customers register, StrandWare ensures that future product inquiries are sent back to the original reseller. StrandWare administers the entire program and distributes the updates directly to customers, relieving resellers of the need to administer upgrade programs for their customers. Resellers also receive residual income based on the plan subscription and annual renewals.

The Get Smart Automatic Upgrade Plan is available to all new registered Label Matrix users. It is offered as a pricing option for Label Matrix single users at $149 for the first year with a reduced annual renewal fee of $99. For Label Matrix Network 5-User licenses, the subscription is $335 with a $195 annual renewal. The Get Smart Automatic Upgrade Plan for Label Matrix Corporate is priced at $1495 with an annual renewal of $495. It is available immediately directly from StrandWare's distribution channel and from customers' authorized StrandWare resellers.
