| Submission declined on 13 November 2023 by LittlePuppers (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. | |

Comment: Routine business reporting, press releases, and primary sources do not establish notability per WP:GNG / WP:ORGCRIT. After multiple earlier declines, there is no evidence of notability, therefore I can only conclude that better sources are not forthcoming. To avoid further reviewer time being expended on this, I am now rejecting rather than merely declining this draft. DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:08, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: With mostly press-release announcements, I don't see this passing WP:CORPDEPTH. Wikipedia is not simply a promotional tool and WP:SIGCOV is required. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:30, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Just the word "solution" isn't the problem - the tone of the entire article is promotional. Phrases like "serves numerous Fortune 100 companies" and "immersive, mobile experience" (and no, those aren't the only ones in this draft) sound like they belong in a company's marketing materials, not an encyclopedia article.

- Comment: Framing is promotional. See also WP:SOLUTION. Greenman (talk) 06:50, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Not enough independent, significant coverage listed to justify this article. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 16:25, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

History[edit]

In 2014, Atlas RFID was ranked No. 180 on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 list[2] as a distributor of RFID products across North America with agreements in place with many OEMs including: HID, Zebra, Smartrac, and Impinj.[3]
In January 2015, Los Angeles, California-based asset manager Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, and Benford Capital Partners, a Chicago, Illinois-based private equity firm, invested in the technology hardware company.[4]
In March 2019, Benford Capital Partners, along with Will Daly, former co-President, COO and CFO of Barcodes Inc., acquired the majority stake in Atlas RFID.
ALEX at The World Games[edit]

Atlas RFID served as the Technical User Experience Coordinator to provide planning, services and hardware required to deliver the kiosk-based career interaction showcase.[5]
Jovix Acquisition & Continued Support[edit]
