New E.R.I.C.A. Web Portal enhances balance management

Nov. 11, 2010 - PRLog -- Equipment Tracking, the equipment management specialists will launch their new web portal at the IMHX, this November.

Based in North Wales Equipment Tracking provide the live intelligence businesses across the UK, large or small need to completely monitor and manage the movement of pallets (or any other equipment) more efficiently, and are trusted by leading manufacturing, warehousing and logistics organizations to help save time, money and drive improved supply chain performance with a competitively priced equipment management software package that tracks over 15 million pallet movements a year.

Ewa Groszek, MD of Equipment Tracking explains “Our customers require the ability to monitor equipment balances available for collection by either themselves or their customers, but this information has to reflect actual numbers rather than the overall balance held at the site.  We have developed a web portal that allows remote locations to notify our distribution team about real levels of pallets so that logistic legs are not wasted when organizing collections.”

With the information immediately available on the E.R.I.C.A. software, logistic teams can use this to plan the most economic legs or they can allocate equipment for their customers to collect and protect them from wasted journeys.

“ERICA” is a software solution providing complete end-to-end control of your own equipment pool, from order fulfillment, re-supply and collection management, through to raising charges for equipment usage. Equipment can be tracked down to the individual item level utilising barcode or RFID technology.

Ewa concluded by say, “our customers work with equipment that is being delivered and released on a daily basis, so it is imperative that we provide them with live data and the tools to help them maximize supply chain benefits.”

Bakers BASCO Ltd., who manage a pool of over 2 million bread baskets in the UK and deliver to over 12000 locations, use Equipment Tracking’s E.R.I.C.A. software, to help them manage, organize collections and re-charge for usage.



Paul Taylor, BASCO’s general manager said “In order to meet our objectives to provide our customers with an equipment pool at minimum costs we implemented the use of the ERICA software.  This gives our customers a simple method to declare their despatches and gives us the ability to track the movements in real time.  Using the software we are able to quickly identify locations with surplus baskets and collect them before they are made available for abuse.  ERICA software also generates all of our invoices giving us a single software solution to reconcile, invoice and control our baskets.”
