Despite investing heavily in enterprise resource planning (ERP), warehouse management (WM), supply chain management (SCM) or an alphabet soup of other business systems, many businesses are finding they lack the real-time visibility and situational awareness needed to remain competitive.
To make matters worse, many ERP or WM solutions require years to implement or update; they may be outdated the day they become available to the business or too costly to change. An alternative is to augment these systems with the proven Acsis ProducTrak solution.
Built upon the proven and widely used Acsis VisiTak Platform, ProducTrak adds complete end-to-end product visibility, including serialization management functionality. Key aspects of ProducTrak include:
- Advanced integration services to leverage your existing business systems and other IT infrastructure.
- An interoperability layer that utilizes your existing system data so there is no need to replicate data.
- An easily configured process abstraction layer that surrounds your ERP and other systems to enable site-specific processes.
This unique architecture enables Acsis ProducTrak to improve your product integrity, inventory management and movement visibility. ProducTrak supports your compliance efforts and improves business intelligence, improving risk management by orchestrating, automating and tracking enterprise movement and storage of finished product.
With growing concerns from consumers regarding the authenticity or purity of products, and in an era of rapidly emerging government mandates, ProducTrak can allow your organization to quickly gain value from traceability. Highly visible product recalls can devastate confidence in your products and negate your investment in marketing and building brand awareness. The traceability provided by Acsis ProducTrak is the cornerstone in many anti-counterfeiting and diversion control initiatives.
Acsis ProducTrak facilitates tracking and tracing of your serialized products throughout the internal and external supply chain, including:
