What is loopTrack?

A few weeks ago I wrote about loopTrack, Loop Supply Systems RFID Container Tracking Solution. RFID technology is not a new technology and the idea that it can add value to an organization has been talked about for years. So why now? While the technology has been around for many years, there has been great advances in RFID hardware technology and the applications that utilize the RFID data. We believe that tracking returnable containers allows supply chains to gain a true competitive advantage and gain access to extremely valuable inventory data while reducing supply chain costs.

loopTrack is a web based container management solution that utilizes the latest RFID technology to track returnable containers and the inventory inside each container. loopTrack utilizes RFID technology to automate and eliminate the traditional method of manual cycle counts for your returnable container inventory.
