Wireless clock technology has seemed to find its way into many hospitals, schools, manufacturing plants, corporate facilities all over. These clocks don’t cost much, but they perform the task just as well or better than any wired synchronized clock solution out there.

Although there are many alternatives available, some facilities are still using battery-powered, individual wall clocks. While it may not seem necessary to change a facility’s entire clock system, many of the features of Sapling’s IP clocks may make you reconsider. The obvious benefit of making this switch is the convenience of having synchronized, accurate time…
This summer, I had my first opportunity to leave the United States and travel abroad to visit family members in France. While I was immersed in a new culture chock full of confusing French phrases and the most delicious food, one aspect that struck me was the difference in the daily schedule of my French…
One of the biggest concerns among IT administrators in all facilities is the risk of overloading their network with useless, yet maintenance-demanding devices. In the mind of the IT admin, for every device you hook up to your facility’s network, your life will become more difficult. And this is true in many situations—the more equipment…
As the world shifts to a more global economy and the supply chain for many industries and products stretches longer, the volume of B2B (business to business) transactions and relations has grown beyond many predictions.

While Sapling believes that connecting with customers at regional level trade shows is more than crucial, we realize our larger, national and international shows can be just as important. Many of our customers will only attend the InfoComm or ISE shows—the mammoth shows with hundreds or sometimes thousands of exhibiting companies. But can you blame…
Have you ever visited a facility, looked up at the clocks and taken note that every clock you see displays the exact same time? Chances are you haven’t! While accurate time is somewhat hard to notice for the visitors of a particular building, it is a very important aspect for the employees of many hospitals,…
Life for the average college student has become increasingly hectic. With full course loads, extracurricular activities, jobs, internships, and trying to maintain a social life, a student’s schedule can become pretty tight.
