BlueStar...Where, When, and Why
BlueStar is the leading innovator in solutions-based distribution for RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), Auto ID (Automatic Identification), POS (Point of Sale), and Mobility products. BlueStar is committed to working exclusively with Value-Added Reseller (VAR) partners to help deliver the finest Supply Chain, Mobility and POS hardware and software solutions in the world. Contact BlueStar today to become a VAR partner.

BlueStar, a D/B/A/ of United Radio, Incorporated (U.R.I.), is a privately held company that was established in 1929 and, in 2004, celebrated 75 years of niche electronics distribution. The company was originally founded as a wholesale provider of consumer electronic products with an initial strength in the supply of radios and radio repair parts.

The year 2002 marked BlueStar's introduction of Solutions-Based Distribution (bundling hardware and software for targeted vertical markets) to the POS and AIDC VAR channel through its FUSION program.

Our "Solutions-Based" model is driven by our Partners' needs. BlueStar offers the normal distributor services-like product selection, pick-pack-ship, and credit terms. However, as a Solutions-Based Distributor we also offer unique leasing programs; hardware, software, and service bundles; extended warranties; professional services; and business-development and marketing programs to assist VARs in branding their companies in their geographic markets.

BlueStar's Mission:
"To serve the specialty electronics channel with the very best solutions, services, and support, as well as to exceed the expectations of our Value-Added Reseller customers and manufacturing partners," says Steve Cuntz, President and CEO of BlueStar.

It's Easy to Do Business with BlueStar
BlueStar, a global solutions distributor, endeavors to make it easy for our resellers to get the products and information they need from BlueStar. We do this by offering BlueStore, BlueStar's online information and ordering system--which provides pricing, availability, and specification information on the products we sell. BlueStar also offers Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for qualifying customers.

To get the right products at the right time, every time, we also offer our customers same-day shipping, reduced shipping rates, and a liberal 30-day return policy.

BlueStar Educational Services
BlueStar provides a wide range of educational services to get our customers the most relevant information on the products that we offer. In addition to trainings and certifications provided through our manufacturers, BlueStar hosts seminars and Lunch & Learns on a wide variety of topics at locations throughout the country. Beyond the geographic borders, we also make available to our customers e-Learns--self-running Webinars that can be accessed day or night.

BlueStar's commitment to reseller education is best-represented by our annual VARTECH trade show. As the industry's only VAR-exclusive POS and Supply Chain trade show, VARTECH provides hundreds of resellers every year with an increased understanding of the products, the software, and the vertical markets that make up our channel.
