Company History

HighJump Software traces its roots back to 1983 when, as Data Collection Systems, it pioneered the development of a complete, bar code-based system to collect, view, edit and process shop-floor data for existing host applications. The company’s first product, HighJump™ Data Collection Advantage, capitalized on the emergence of affordable radio frequency (RF) technologies to provide the backbone for its customers to deliver increasingly better products and services. Since then, HighJump Software has delivered an array of supply chain execution (SCE) solutions that streamline the flow of inventory and information from source through consumption.
