History:

Paradigm was formed in October 1991 by President and CEO Philip Weglein.  As an early adaptor of Microsoft's® Windows product, the company quickly  caught the eye of many municipalities and private organizations around the country.  The company recognized the need for Windows® based applications that offers both ease of use and flexibility.  The products were developed with the vision to build a best of breed set of applications for the weighing and routing industries for all Microsoft® environments. In the present day, the company offers the most experienced and leading development tools and applications for our customers to obtain the detailed information necessary in order to successfully manage their facilities.

As the name implies, Paradigm is the model software product for the industry and is forming the basic infrastructure for object-oriented software development in the weighing and routing industries. Starting with a new generation technology suited for both rich client as well as server-based, multiple client environments, Paradigm shaped a strategy to develop a comprehensive toolset of products built on a framework allowing interfaces with the look and feel of today's most popular applications, including Microsoft® Office and Microsoft® Windows. Our fundamental goal remains to provide these solutions in a wide range of development environments (Microsoft® Access, Microsoft® SQL Server, .NET, & Handhelds) to allow our customers the freedom of utilizing our products to answer each one of their facility needs across their organization.

Paradigm's product line is currently used across the United States and Canada in over 250 locations by government municipalities, military bases, and private organizations. Our complete product line is developed using best practices, which is why Paradigm's customers are committed to the company and our products for over 12 years.

Our applications are products that corporations rely on to produce exceptional data management in-house as well as commercially. Some of the customers utilizing the products developed by Paradigm include: Orange County, CA; Kern County, CA; San Bernardino, CA; Cobb County, GA; City of Denton, TX; City of Garland, TX; Delaware Solid Waste Authority, DE; Clay County, FL; Deffenbaugh Industries, KS; Wasatch Energy, UT; City and County of Honolulu, HI; Hennepin County, MN; and NRG Energy.

Today:

In the first quarter of 2003, Paradigm released our latest module for the CompuWeigh™ System with implementation of our Microsoft® Message Queuing module.  This module will allow our customers near real-time processing without the remote locations running off of the network.  When the transaction is processed at the remote location, it is immediately transferred back to the central server via a LAN or internet connection.  If the connection is not available, the data is held locally until the connection to the server is restored.  At that time the data will be transmitted.

On June 1, 2003 Paradigm launched CompuRoute, the new standard in routing, dispatching and container tracking for the industry.  This system empowers the user to be in full control of their routes and containers.  Since it's release the product has received high praise from current and new customers alike.

The first quarter of 2004 Paradigm introduced our Alerts Module and Rules Module.  These new Modules will provide our customers with more control over their data and the ability to prevent data entry errors.

Our customer base is continuing to grow and all customers benefit from new development and enhancements to the products.  In addition to new development, Paradigm offers a Support Services Program leveraging a wide range of services to help clients gain the most from their investment.
