Chemical Containers

Many chemicals are distributed in returnable containers, typically in totes or intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), cylinders or tonner cylinders. If unmanaged, your operations can swing from too many to too few containers that are empty, clean and working for new orders. Depending on the product, returnable containers must also be tracked for safety reasons and well maintained, cleaned before each new use and properly documented. As the world moves to more sustainable ways of getting work done, the use of returnable containers is likely to grow in the chemical industry. TrackAbout helps to track and manage returnable chemical containers as an add-on to Datacor ERP or your existing business systems. TrackAbout is built for the unique challenges of returnable chemical containers and will provide greater transparency throughout the entire asset lifecycle.

Better managing your containers has a transformative effect on your business and a strong return on investment.
