SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - Nov 3, 2015) - Impinj, Inc. today released ItemSense™ software, an essential element of the Impinj platform. ItemSense allows partners and end users to quickly and easily integrate Item Intelligence -- the identity, location and authenticity of everyday items -- into existing and new enterprise and consumer applications.

Impinj's accompanying launch of its Alliance Partner Program provides resources, tools, and joint sales and marketing support for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) that are interested in augmenting existing applications or developing new applications based on ItemSense.

"ItemSense unifies RAIN RFID deployments into a single, scalable infrastructure, creating value for businesses and their customers. The Impinj platform gives businesses access to Item Intelligence in their ERP systems, inventory-control and other business applications to drive detailed analytics, measure replenishment effectiveness, track assets and more," said Eric Brodersen, Impinj President and COO.

ItemSense Informs Critical Business Decisions
ItemSense software, a core component of the Impinj platform, links the physical and digital world. It extracts Item Intelligence and delivers it to enterprise applications via query and event APIs. It also centralizes reader and gateway configuration, management and control. ItemSense is modular and scalable, and will operate on-premises or in cloud-based environments. It aggregates and transforms raw RAIN RFID data into timely, business-critical Item Intelligence. Currently in limited-availability, customers can now license ItemSense.

Impinj engaged several of its customers and partners during ItemSense development, including Detego, Intelligent InSites and Nedap, to test and validate the solutions it enables. These collaborations have yielded proof-of-concepts for business applications in several verticals.

Accelerating Joint Solutions
The Impinj Alliance Partner Program enables ISVs to leverage Item Intelligence in existing applications or when developing new applications for customers across industries including retail, healthcare and many others. The program provides partners with the tools and resources they need to test, integrate and package joint solutions using the Impinj platform. Partners get access to product documentation, developer support, a developer sandbox and code samples.

"Through the Impinj Alliance Partner Program, partners are developing new solutions for retailers and healthcare providers that solve critical business challenges and offer compelling consumer experiences," said Brodersen. "We believe the opportunity for solutions based on the Impinj platform is massive and are thrilled about the opportunities we and our partners can deliver."
