Golden State Medical Supply (GSMS) is in its second year partnering with ABS Internet for IT Services. In addition to its innovative business model, GSMS is an exciting company technologically, allowing our two companies to exist in an environment in which we can grow together.
Since the pharmaceutical supplier’s inception in 1989, GSMS has consistently adapted to meet the demands of its clients, bringing in cutting-edge packing and quality assurance technology to allow for increased patient safety. To implement these changes and make way for further technological advances, GSMS recently moved to a new, state-of-the-art, 95,000 square foot facility in Camarillo, California. ABS Internet has been working with GSMS to provide the plans and lay the groundwork necessary for the company’s rapid technological growth. ABS also provided the entirety of the premises wiring to ensure quality communication throughout the facility.
One of the pioneering advances in product and patient safety that GSMS has been the first to implement is a new tracking technology using radio frequency identification (RFID). All pharmaceutical products sent or received at the facility are embedded with an RFID chip. Merely passing a shipment through the facility’s scanner provides a complete inventory of that shipment’s contents down to the last bottle, validating product authenticity and ensuring proper chain of custody. This system is new, exciting and highly technical, and ABS Internet has been working hand in hand with IBM on behalf of GSMS to set up infrastructure and monitor its usage.
The RFID system has allowed an unprecedented level of accuracy for dealing with large shipments. GSMS has a large customer base, so speed, quality and efficiency are of the utmost important to the supplier. Further, California state law will soon require increased accuracy in the tracking of all pharmaceuticals, and thanks in part to the RFID system, Golden State Medical Supply will be fully prepared to meet and exceed new regulations.
ABS Internet is proud to continue working with GSMS to produce the best solutions that information technology can provide for their rapidly expanding enterprise.

New and exciting strides have been made in business telephone technology. Voice communication over the internet has been around for years, but not like this. The latest solution is cheaper, more reliable, centralized and has superior call quality than any previous comparable solution. While this service is far from an ABS Internet exclusive, we feel our custom combination of services and pricing is vastly superior than what you could find anywhere else.
1. Use an e-mail service with a built-in spam filter. Services like Google’s Gmail have robust filters that prevent most spam e-mails from getting through. These services also use the power of huge user bases to continually refine their filters and block known spammers. When one user marks a certain e-mail message as spam, all other users will gain that benefit in their spam filter.
