Why Track Returnable Transport Items (RTIs)?
In modern supply chains, billions of Returnable Transport Items (RTIs) like pallets, crates, and bins play a crucial role in transporting goods. However, up to 40% of these reusable assets are lost, damaged, or forgotten annually, leading to significant financial and operational impacts. Tracking RTIs addresses these challenges by enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and future-proofing supply chains
Better RTI Management
Effective RTI management reduces losses, improves accountability, and ensures accurate financial tracking, while maximizing ROI by preventing theft and misuse, ensuring assets deliver full value.
Streamline Operations
Real-time RTI tracking reduces excess inventory, prevents delays from shortages, ensures smoother operations, and simplifies cost-sharing in shared asset networks while maintaining quality replacements.
Future-Proof Your Supply Chain
Reduce waste and energy use for greener logistics, harness big data for smarter decisions, and adapt to evolving demands for faster, more flexible deliveries.
