Track and trace solution
February 1st 2006

Skillweb has been selected by Acumen Logistics Group to provide a track and trace solution for its warehouse and distribution operation.

Based on Skillweb's Track & Trace Manager, it will provide unload, count, check and load functionality in the warehouse and proof of delivery and consignment tracking for the delivery team. The system will be used by Acumen in a new fully audited logistics service for a major customer in the hazardous goods sector.

Deployed on Intermec handheld computers, the system will enable Acumen to track valuable cartons of medical equipment from containers received from the US into its warehouse in Halifax. The cartons are then delivered to the customer's distribution centres and home based technicians by a dedicated fleet.

Each carton has a unique Track and trace solution serial number that has to be tracked right the way through the supply chain, so they will be scanned on arrival, at despatch and through out the delivery process, providing a full audit trail for each unique product.
