It can be challenging for a network partner in need of reusable transport packaging assets to get the right quantity and quality, at the right time and location. Sometimes assets gets damaged or lost, with no way of finding out where or how it happened.
Without the use of technology and a cloud-based platform to provide real-time visibility, it’s impossible to quickly and easily identify reusable packaging movements within the network at any given time.
Track reusable packaging assets to guarantee full visibility and maximum transparency for every partner.
Improve inventory re-balancing, optimally schedule demands and manage orders based on reusable packaging requests (pull) or automatically calculated deliveries (push).
Digitalize all associated exchanges and documents with supply chain partners.
Enter, edit, and maintain master data in a central module using data management best practices.
Schedule and execute reusable packaging movements of single packaging assets as well as bundles, enabling efficient stock processing.
Equip reusable packaging assets with serial numbers for more detailed traceability. ID tech such as barcode or RFID mark each asset clearly, making them easy to locate and track.
Store individual rating models and detailed information, and ensure transparency re: underlying stipulated costs and fees -- all to improve supplier relationships while reducing loss/misuse.
Assess reusable packaging demands throughout the entire supply chain and obtain accurate forecasts of ideal, maximum and minimum stocks.
