RPL has developed a user friendly software tool to facilitate online tracking of packaging assets through all points in the supply chain. We call our system P.A.R.T.S for Packaging Asset Recovery Tracking System. P.A.R.T.S provides users with a real time snapshot of asset inventories at some or all locations in their supply chain. By having this visibility to where the assets are at all times clients are better able to manage the timely and cost efficient return of the assets for reuse. Better management of existing assets can reduce new asset purchases and lower overall costs of ownership. In addition to offering this software as a tool for customers to track their assets, RPL uses this system to manage its own assets that it leases to its customers on a per use basis. Some of the features and benefits of utilizing P.A.R.T.S

The system can be customized to fit the client’s needs and work with existing or new systems. It can be branded with any logo or colors to make it transparent to the typical client’s user. The data is housed and maintained in one of RPL’s 2 data centers therefore the client does not need to purchase any hardware or software. They simply subscribe to the system on a monthly basis and are provided access through the web. Please contact RPL for a free consultation on what RPL asset tracking can do for you.
