The Forrester Research, Inc. report Maximizing Innovation from ERP Service Providers; noted "Companies like UST Global allow their employees to spend part of their time in a research lab, developing use cases for new technologies – like QR bar codes and their potential application for retail. One such application is their use as tiny pictures on items for sale that allow shoppers to scan items at the grocery store and then check out more quickly."

The Apple Tree, Make Mistakes, Break Something, And, Learn!!! - An innovation gym where USsociates are invited to experiment without fear of mistakes. It's the “zone” where ideas can be bounced around, mistakes made, hypotheses tested, where inquisitive minds & experienced minds can congregate. Here you can “play” with ideas, software & systems without the restrictions of a highly regulated & secure environment. In other words, the “garage” of UST!
