Origins
Stock N Roll was first developed in the 1990s by DataScan Technologies in conjunction with Halliburton, a subsidiary of Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR), one of the largest engineering construction firms in the world. Versona Systems acquired DataScan in 2006 and still works with KBR today.
Ownership/Management
Versona Systems owns Stock N Roll. Versona was created to provide mobility solutions. The predecessor firm, Datascan Technologies, Inc., was founded in 1988 to provide hardware and software products to the market. Datascan was a pioneer in the Houston area in the sale and service of bar coding and scanning technology and solutions. Versona was formed with new capital, new management, and a broader market focus to reflect the expertise of the additional professionals that were brought into the firm:
