Vendor Analysis
By Harish Keshwani at 17 January, 2005, 10:01 pm
I have presented three vendor profiles so far. Next I will compare them and then select one as a primary vendor and other two as backups.
| Features | Vendor One | Vendor Two | Vendor Three |
| RFID Sales (Annual) | $2,200 million | $1,500 million | $50 million |
| Tag Volume (Annual) | 200 million | 150 million | 10 million |
| Transponders | 125/134.2 kHz, 13.56 MHz and UHF | 433.92 MHz | 433.92 MHz |
| Readers Range | 450 feet | 250 feet | 250 feet |
| Terms | Credit until project implementation | 120 days or Project implementation | Credit until project implementation |
| Contract | Long Term | Case-to-Case | Long Term |
My choice is Vendor Three as a Primary Vendor, Vendor Two as first backup and Vendor One as second backup. Vendor Three, although much smaller in size compared to other two is willing to accommodate all the changes which we may require in the course of implementation. Other two, though reliable, may not be willing to modify their products to suit our requirements.
Due to other commitments, I will be posting twice a week on this blog.
