Modules

TrackAbout is delivered as software-as-a-service with extensive expertise in all aspects of 'real-world' asset tracking. TrackAbout enables you to embark on a technology pathway that meets your unique business needs. While Core Tracking is required to use the service, all other modules with more specific functionality can be utilized and added as needed.

Core Tracking

Enables customers to identify the quantity, type and location of their assets using mobile computing technology. Asset data is collected using handheld scanning devices and validated by the TrackAbout data center to provide accurate reporting and invoicing for effective asset management. Each asset is tracked individually and the information can be cross-checked against the business enterprise software to confirm asset balances, discrepancies, shelf-life, lot number compliance, deliveries and maintenance. This asset information can be used with confidence to make better business decisions and maximize revenue opportunities.

Rental

Maintains asset balances at end user locations to ensure accurate calculation of rental and lease statements. Daily, monthly, flat, peak, free days, leases and many other rental formulas are built in and ready to use. Special rental or lease program requirements can be accommodated. Rental bills are sent by TrackAbout through third party billing services or sent directly to the customer's accounting system for delivery. Accurate tracking data substantiates rental balances and results in increases in rental revenue by catching understated balances and providing indisputable accuracy.

Paperless Delivery

Eliminates the need for paper shipping invoices. Orders for delivery are sequenced and checked against materials loaded on the truck and then synchronized into the driver's handheld computer. As the driver makes deliveries, transactions are captured electronically by scanning the assets delivered and returned. The logic in the handheld computer compares order details and empty cylinder balances at the customer to determine if a 100% accurate delivery and pick up has been made. Completed orders in the handheld are then uploaded electronically into the billing system. This process greatly improves accuracy and minimizes the time and labor of manual data entry.

Bulk Delivery

Captures bulk gas delivery information at the point of delivery. The receiver tank is scanned and the volume of delivered gas is entered into the handheld computer. Completed orders in the handheld are then uploaded electronically into the billing system. Data on whether the delivery was normal or an emergency can be collected and used for forecasting delivery schedules. Collecting bulk gas delivery information electronically generates huge savings by eliminating manual data processing and increasing billing accuracy and speed. Quicker and more accurate billing results in a reduction in accounts receivable days and disputes.

Follow-On Tracking

This module is an extension of the Core Tracking module. TrackAbout customers can provide their end users with controlled internet access to tracking information at their individual location. End users have the ability to view assets or move assets internally within various departments or locations throughout their facility. This eliminates duplicate data entry and creates a shared resource for data validation, analysis and reporting.

Maintenance Tracking

Utilizing handheld computer data collection, maintenance actions that have been performed on a specific asset are recorded. Additionally, it provides alerts about future maintenance required and generates reports on maintenance activity for each asset. Assignment of actions for maintenance is totally customizable by utilizing TrackAbout Dynamic Forms. This streamlines maintenance tracking and eliminates time consuming processing of paper records.

Linked Exchange

Allows TrackAbout customers to share asset information with other TrackAbout customers that use a common supply chain. Both organizations see the delivery and exchange of assets between facilities which can prevent invoicing and other supply chain transaction discrepancies. Redundancy of re-initializing assets is eliminated as they move from one organization to another and the receiving entity doesn't have to duplicate the effort of labeling and classifying assets. Information is only entered into the shared system one time and it is re-usable by disparate companies throughout the common supply chain.

User Activity Tracking

Tracks specific activity of individual workers throughout the work day. It can be used in environments where customers need to track the activity of drivers or plant workers such as trip activity, equipment inspection activity, customer arrival and departure times, post-trip equipment inspection, load checks, and lunch breaks. This module replaces the need for time-consuming manual creation of paper-based special activity reports.

Truck Load/Unload

Tracks truck inventories while loading and unloading operations are performed and reconciles the information with the actual deliveries made. All assets are scanned when loaded on to the truck and then again when unloaded from the truck. This information is reconciled against the scanned delivery transactions in order to catch errors and omissions. DOT shipping manifest can be created in a fraction of the time it takes to create them manually. This module allows for tighter control and cleaner asset balances with fewer missed scans.

Certificate of Analysis

Allows for the hosting of customer Certificates of Analysis on the TrackAbout server for access via the TrackAbout website. Customers can access these certificates by simply clicking on a hyperlink that is available to end users with login privileges in remote locations. TrackAbout's online access to this information eliminates the need to send paper Certificates of Analysis to end user customers.

Telemetry

Utilizes high pressure and liquid level readings taken by an automatic monitor in the field to manage and report gas level volumes. Reorder and critical low-level alerts can be sent via email and pagers to both users and suppliers. For mission critical delivery of gases remote telemetry provides a dependable alerting service to prevent losses in process time and minimize the risks associated with downtime.

Mobile Printing

This module is included with the Paperless Delivery module and can be purchased separately. It allows printing of delivery receipt paperwork in the field utilizing a Bluetooth printer. Mobile printing is easily configurable to enable branding and other customization of documents printed in the field.

Crib Replenishment

Captures the reorder quantities for hard goods delivered to customer cribs. When a driver replenishes the end user's crib, he/she knows what has been taken which allows for the creation of new orders. The driver can use the same handheld computer used for asset deliveries as an electronic order taking device to automate the replenishment process for cribs and stockrooms.

Tube Trailer Volume

Records the ambient temperature and pressure of gas inside a tube trailer and calculates the amount of gas inside the tubes. Gas analysis for tube trailer contents can also be documented. Gases supported by this module are Helium, Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Oxygen. Precisely recording the volume of gas in tube trailers at various times during their life cycle greatly improves the accuracy of invoicing. With the volumes of gas in tube trailers this can result in significant savings.
