Compu-Power, Inc., a privately
held corporation, was founded
in 1979 as a total solution
information technology company.
Targeting various distribution
and supply chain businesses,
the company provided a full
spectrum of products and
services including software,
hardware and installation,
training, custom programming
and on-going support services.
From 1981 to 1989 Compu-Power
grew to gain a national
presence and client base
by marketing its products
through Electronic Data
Systems (EDS), a national
network of forty-five
computer dealers, and
with the recommendation
of nationally recognized
accounting and consulting
firms such as Grant Thornton
and Price Waterhouse.
In 1989 Compu-Power (then
GP Systems) merged with
Laventhol & Horwath
(L&H), then the nation’s
seventh largest accounting
and consulting firm. Operating
as a unit within L&H,
yet retaining ownership
of its software, the business
flourished nationally,
automating tire dealerships,
lumber yards, paper products
dealers and other distribution
businesses. Following
the separation from Laventhol
& Horwath in November
1990, Compu-Power, Inc.
went back into business
with its software and
expanded client base intact.
Compu-Power has been
recognized since 1991
as an IBM Business Partner
and Solution Developer.
In 1993 the company sharpened
its focus on the needs
of the tire industry,
which was beginning to
see significant consolidation
and growth. Compu-Power
then extended its product
line by developing powerful
manufacturing software,
integrated with its distribution
software, to meet the
needs of the tire retreading
industry.
In 2001, the company
began a business relationship
with Intermec Technologies
Corporation as a Premier
Solutions Partner. And,
in 2003, Intermec recognized
Compu-Power as an Honors
Partner. Compu-Power,
Inc. combined its system
integration, software
development and supply
chain expertise with Intermec’s
leading-edge radio frequency
identification (RFID),
mobile computing and wireless
technologies to extend
its reach into manufacturing
and assembly industries
while continuing to serve
its traditional distribution
clients.
