Monitoring and Managing Mobile Assets
Efficient asset management is a crucial challenge for companies operating in the Large-Scale Retail Distribution (GDO). Each year, it is estimated that between 5% and 10% of roll containers used within the logistics chain are lost or stolen, with percentages varying significantly based on the quality of monitoring and management systems adopted. This phenomenon leads to significant economic losses, considering that the cost of a single roll container can range between €70 and €150, depending on the material used and structural strength.
The same issue is found in the management of other fundamental assets such as pallets and transported goods, further amplifying company losses. These inconveniences not only negatively impact company budgets but also represent an obstacle to the optimization of logistics processes.
Asset traceability is an indispensable solution to address these critical issues. It allows for real-time monitoring and management of mobile assets, such as roll containers, pallets, and goods, along the entire supply chain. Implementing an advanced traceability system means not only reducing losses but also improving operational efficiency, optimizing logistics flows, and ensuring sustainable asset management.
Adopting innovative solutions for logistics traceability is therefore a fundamental step for companies that want to remain competitive, reduce operational costs, and offer increasingly efficient and reliable service.
