Packaging management like internet banking works.
Who would have thought that?
Introduction:
In this time when resources are either not available for towing or are declared redundant, the business remains the same with regard to RTIs (Returnable Transport Items; such as pallets, crates and roll containers). After all, the trade can be more or less. But orders and deliveries are still being made. Whether it is 1 pallet or 1000 pallets. In all cases you want to see it again (get reimbursed).
Developments:
Developments are moving at unprecedented speed and at the same time the adoption of new technology sometimes seems difficult. Think of RFID, IoT, Visual scanning, OCR / ICR, 5G, but also blockchain. Plenty of options and the holy grail! Do not you know? Dive into the technology and get started.
This is often a prayer without end (including the bottomless pit) and people prefer to look around. What has the neighbor done? How do they do that in the other sector? Hmmm, see then believe. I pass!
We see technology too much as a driver for change. Rather, it should be the other way around. Where the business has a challenge, technology (possibly) offers a solution.
From Fax to Blockchain:
Since the changes take place so quickly, it is almost impossible for an organization to make the "right" choices in this regard and optimizations and implementations often hang on the core processes. And as long as this works. Don't touch it!
When the internet started, everyone was hesitant and the fax was also questioned like this. What do you do with a fax? And what if only I have a fax, what can I do with it? Very soon there was a second user with a fax and the predecessor of e-mail has acquired its right to exist.
The top 5 arguments why the Fax has acquired and retained its right to exist consists of: acceptance, ease of use, legal validity, modern and security. Precisely these arguments also apply to applications based on blockchain technology and RTI registration.
Internet banking with RTIs:
At the end of 2018, the first plans were made to record packaging shifts in a blockchain. After all, if you can move money digitally (such as bitcoin and other cryptos), then that should also be possible with packaging.
Apart from a few technical challenges, there were many advantages to be mentioned and to be compared with the financial world. Whether someone transfers 100 euros or ships 1 roll container. The effect of creating an outstanding item is the same. Of course, in the financial world we know a few rules of the game that make those processes even more unambiguous, but the core is the same.
No one has ever had a consultant (or team of consultants) come over to implement an internet banking app and train you. Why then does this apply to all kinds of ERP systems and specific solutions that record packaging shifts?
Why don't we look at the same transaction? If I transfer 10 euros to my son, my son sees 10 euros credited to his account and his balance increases. We also accept the use of direct debits and their withdrawal. After all, both parties see the same effect. In the packaging world you have the endless balance to match. What does your overview say? Just send it by email, then I will look at it. The lists are printed and the markers are working overtime. Is it a one-off? No definitely not. An endless process.
Why do I always have to log in to various systems and report registrations for 1 shipment from me to my customer? Systems of the pooler (s), carrier, receiver, etc.
In RTI Dashboard (from RTI Blockchain) the aforementioned challenges have been brought together to support the business in daily challenges and above endless repetitive actions. Coincidentally, blockchain offered the right technology. And so the above whys are answered with therefore!
