How Smart Tracking Boosts Efficiency in Modern Supply Chains
A Joint Perspective from Lyngsoe Systems & Beontag
Peak seasons push global supply chains to their limits. As order volumes spike and labor availability tightens, Returnable Transport Items (RTIs)—pallets, roll cages, totes, crates, and reusable containers—become the silent constraint that dictates throughput, service performance, and cost-to-serve. Yet most organizations still manage RTIs with far less discipline than finished goods or inventory. The result is consistent across regions and industries: 10–15% asset loss annually, equating to billions in global replacement costs, operational slowdowns, and growing sustainability pressures.
In this whitepaper, you will learn how to:
- Identify where RTI losses, imbalances, and dwell time undermine peak-season throughput
- Quantify the operational and financial impact of 10–15% annual RTI loss
- Decide when RAIN RFID or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) delivers the highest value
- Use real-time RTI visibility to improve asset availability, cycle time stability, and planning accuracy
- Scale RTI tracking across sites, partners, and regions without adding manual workload.
