Yurii Yefimenko, the founder and CEO of FRP Technology, works with large retail chains as they navigate the use of biometric data. Yurii was approached by a major fitness center brand to develop a solution that would unlock perks for its premium members using biometric data. The solution also needed to follow recent BIPA, CPRA, and GDPR regulations. This led to the development of a biometrics system that utilizes the ControlByWeb WebRelay. Finding the Right Fit. At the start of the project, Yurii turned to a large manufacturer for his IIoT device needs. He was disappointed when he couldn't get the support he needed and felt like he was simply another number in a big, bureaucratic machine. Their support people were difficult to contact and didn't know enough to help Yurii with his application of their products. Discovering their tech was outdated was the last straw that sent Yurii looking for another supplier. When Yurii discovered ControlByWeb, he was delighted to work with a responsive and knowledgeable tech support team that cared to understand his application. He found the USA-made hardware to be high-quality, using modern communication protocols. It was easy to implement in his system. |
