Overview

Keeping Track of Shared Portable Assets

Existing business computer systems are sorely deficient in supply chain tracking and management of portable physical assets such as compressed gas cylinders, durable medical equipment, and chemical containers. This type of asset is typically owned by one organization, but shared and used by many others. The rapid exchange amongst users and the reusable nature of these assets requires efficient and accurate transaction visibility, validation and accountability to drive the profitability of the enterprise.
