Founded in 2008, the company serves companies across a variety of industries including inventory management, asset tracking, automotive, retail, construction and more.

History

Atlas was originally incorporated in 2008 as “Atlas RFID Solutions Store, LLC” by its founder and former CEO Robert Fuqua. The company became focused as a B2B eCommerce business, fulfilling online orders for RFID equipment, tags and related accessories.[1]

In 2014, Atlas RFID was ranked No. 180 on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 list[2] as a distributor of RFID products across North America with agreements in place with many OEMs including: HID, Zebra, Smartrac, and Impinj.[3]

In January 2015, Los Angeles, California-based asset manager Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, and Benford Capital Partners, a Chicago, Illinois-based private equity firm, invested in the technology hardware company.[4]

In March 2019, Benford Capital Partners, along with Will Daly, former co-President, COO and CFO of Barcodes Inc., acquired the majority stake in Atlas RFID.

ALEX at The World Games

Developed for the 2022 World Games held in Birmingham, Alabama, ALEX: The Alabama Experience was a mobile experience that featured a collection of interactive kiosks that walked users through daily life in Alabama. Atlas RFID served as the Technical User Experience Coordinator to provide planning, services and hardware required to deliver the kiosk-based career interaction showcase.[5]

Jovix Acquisition & Continued Support

In September 2021, Hexagon AB acquired Jovix from Atlas RFID in support of its expansion into the procurement, fabrication, and construction market[6], while Atlas continues to support the Jovix business.[7]

Developed and supported by Atlas RFID, Jovix is a cloud-based software specifically designed for industrial construction, providing real-time visibility of materials and location to stakeholders throughout the supply chain. As of 2021, Jovix software has been deployed in 25 countries on more than 650 job sites, and has more than 7,500 users worldwide.[8][9]
