The Barcode based Crate Tracking Solution was proposed to enable the dairy products producer to track the dispatch and arrival of the milk crates at every outlet and distribution center. Waterproof bar codes to be affixed on each crate. This solution in its entirety shall allow the dairy products producer to accomplish the following:
- Create a web portal where all information can be stored and retrieved
- Track the number of crates sent from each plant
- Track the number of crates received by each outlet or distributor
- Compare the number of crates to the quantity of milk packets supplied
- Configure the Barcode Readers differently for different type of users
- Analyze and identify any differential between quantity sent and received
- Analyze quantity delivered versus payments made by outlets
- Track and analyze time lines of delivery and determine areas of improvement
- Track these based on geography and packaging plants
- Track driver, Truck usage and integrate with HR and Payroll
Upon final integration with the Business Intelligence Modules, reports can be derived seamlessly and geographical intelligence can be utilized for greater market penetration and improved quality of service to the consumers.
