Asset Tracking can unlock hidden productivity and cost savings

In the world of logistics and supply chains, most things are transported using shipping assets like trays, pallets, crates, bins, or containers

Today, operations are seeking to unlock efficiency through better visibility and tracking of their returnable transport items (RTI’s) such as roll cages trolleys, plastic crates and reusable items like bottles, containers, and cutlery sets. Such assets optimise internal operations and make collaboration with partners and customers smoother.

However, managing the flow of returnable assets within today’s complex supply chain is a challenge. This leads to problems in ensuring asset availability, recovery and locationing. The result? Higher costs, risks to business continuity due to inadequate control, and potential customer/partner dissatisfaction.

Whether in logistics, leisure, medical equipment, tools,
or other sectors, companies are seeking better control over their assets and equipment

1. What is the financial impact of not knowing where my returnable assets are located?
2. How important is asset availability to keep my operation running smoothly?
3. Would monitoring both assets and the goods simultaneously add value to my operation?
4. What identification and data capture systems are currently in place?
5. How important is minimising labour/manual effort in tracking my returnable assets?
