BoxxDocks technology provides accurate, data-driven track and trace solutions – the first of its kind in the supply chain and logistics industry. This solution not only addresses the critical problem of inventory loss, but also paves the way for cost savings and environmental benefits.
Unlike traditional tracking systems that provide limited visibility, BoxxDocks provides real-time data on asset location and movement, enabling B2B distributors to map entire supply chains with unprecedented accuracy and efficiency. This capability can significantly enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs by improving asset utilization and reducing loss.
In addition, the technology provides enhanced security for materials in transit, thus reducing waste and supporting the circular economy, by facilitating the shift towards reusable assets, rather than single-use cardboard and plastic, reducing environmental and financial impacts.
