We’re thrilled to introduce Asset Tracking & Management, a brand new feature designed to effortlessly track and manage reusable containers thanks to a range of new functionalities. Gain complete visibility over your valuable items in Stream.
What is Asset Tracking & Management?
Asset Tracking & Management allows you to keep precise tabs on all containers that are part of your delivery and/or collection processes.
This includes tracking reusable items like cages, pallets, and totes, which are left with customers and need to be collected at a later date.
The key features of Asset Tracking & Management
Asset Tracking & Management provides a range of features and functionality to help you manage your valuable items:
Individual container tracking
Individual container tracking allows you to assign unique barcodes to individual assets (like a roll cage) in order to track their precise location and history. This detailed record helps ensure easy retrieval and accountability.
Quantity-based tracking
For large quantities of items, you can manage them by type and quantity. This allows drivers to record leaving multiple items (e.g., “five pallets”) in a single entry without needing to scan each one individually, saving your drivers significant time.
Depot scanning
When containers are returned to the depot, they can easily be recorded individually or in bulk, providing an accurate, real-time stocktake of items successfully collected from customers.
Container View
You can view your container data as a comprehensive list of all individual containers or by your customer’s location(s). The location view provides a detailed history for each customer, showing all drop-off points and containers currently on-site.
Driver Prompt
Drivers can receive prompts within their delivery or collection workflow, indicating which containers need to be collected or dropped off when they arrive at a customer’s location, ensuring no item is missed.
The benefits of container tracking
Our new container tracking feature offers a range of noteworthy benefits for a more secure, transparent, and sustainable supply chain:
Reduce lost inventory and waste
By tracking the exact location and history of every individual container, you can significantly minimise lost items and reduce overall waste.
Improved traceability
Get a clear and real-time stocktake of returned containers, making it easier to reconcile your records and ensure all items are accounted for.
Enhanced visibility
Gain a complete overview of your valuable containers, providing full visibility into your logistics operation.
Streamlined processes
Asset Tracking & Management simplifies the management of containers, whether individually or in bulk, leading to faster tracking and more efficient workflows.
