Strengthening Membership Card Issuance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wholesale retailer Costco has been on the move in recent years. They\u2019ve opened new warehouse club stores in many regions of the world that typically outperform other rival mass merchandizers who have ventured beyond their U.S. home base.<\/p>\n

In fact, Costco Mexico now has more than 100 locations. To keep card issuance running smoothly, Costco Mexico needed a partner for ID card printers, service and supplies they could count on to support their continued growth. \u00a0Card printers<\/a> weren\u2019t readily available. Consumables were frequently out of stock. Maintenance and repairs took longer than expected.<\/p>\n

Local reseller saw this as an opportunity to bring more reliability to Costco Mexico\u2019s membership card issuance program. The two partnered together to convince Costco Mexico to switch providers.<\/p>\n
