Tune in as we discuss four keys to successful fleet management live from the Government Fleet Expo in Dallas, TX! The first key goes over GPS Fleet Tracking for your enterprise or government organization. The second covers Vehicle Diagnostics to make sure fleets are on the road and not in the shop. The third key is Driver Behavior, making sure that drivers are performing tasks safely and efficiently. The fourth is In-Transit inventory and asset items tracked with real-time visibility. With Apptricity, you can get all four of these fleet management practices in one easy-to-use tracking solution! Trusted by the world's leading brands like Verizon, Brinks, AT&T, Komatsu and government organizations like the US Army and US Air Force, Apptricity grants you the real-time operational visibility you need.

This episode is part of a three-part series focusing on three different IoT-connected solutions that address different sections of the supply chain. The key message we are trying to deliver is this: Complete supply chain visibility is not only achievable, but can be done with an automated, low-maintenance solution. By combining cloud-hosted software with IoT-connected devices, retail companies can eliminate blind spots in key areas of their supply chain. This webinar speaks directly to the retail industry but this excerpt can be applied across any organization that has a warehouse and manufacturing department.This episode of the series highlights "Warehouse and Manufacturing." Pain points addressed include the following: - Verifying the quantity of items in the warehouse- Comparing what is on the advanced shipping notice/purchase order with what is delivered or present in the warehouse- Comparison with what the ERP solution is reporting- Locating scanners used for scanning inventory- Long hours spent doing manual cycle counts
Solution Focus includes:- IPS: Locate important warehouse equipment by establishing a mesh with I-Controllers and Bluetooth beacons- Inventory Tracking: Set up controllers and RFID or Bluetooth tags to track the amount of a specific product that is present in the warehouse. Allows for automated cycle counts- Introduction to Connected Service Vehicle
We hope this information helps you on your journey to asset and inventory tracking success. If you'd like to see the software in action, don't hesitate to schedule a demo: https://www.apptricity.com/demo-request/

It's the end of the year, and we wanted to take a moment to wrap it up (Christmas pun intended) by addressing the major questions on your mind. What should we be excited about in 2023 regarding the Internet of Things? When it comes to supply chain management, what are the core differences between assets versus inventory? Can you use Apptricity IoT software on your mobile device? Who owns the scan data that comes into the Apptricity system and can I put it in my other ERP systems? With the new year coming, technology upgrading, AI and data analytics improving, and so much more, 2023 is looking very bright for supply chains. Join us in this episode where we unpack your questions and what the future has in store for supply chains! As always, you can learn more at apptricity.com and check out the site's new design changes while you're there. Thanks for joining.
In this two-part interview, astronaut Charlie Duke shares his early life and career, the excitement behind getting ready for space exploration, and the supply chain of the Apollo Program.

A major part of the supply chain that is frequently overlooked is the inventory within in-transit vehicles. Deliveries and GPS tracking are now the standard, but did you know you could track fleet shipments along with all onboard inventory as it exits each vehicle of your fleet? If one vehicle in your fleet has five thousand dollars of inventory, and your fleet is composed of one thousand vehicles, you're looking at tracking five hundred thousand dollars of inventory across the globe. Enter the Connected Service Vehicle solution. This allows for real-time tracking of all assets and inventory and can easily be integrated with other IoT solutions. Apptricity currently tracks billions of dollars of inventory for its clients with the Connected Service Vehicle alone. Many have decided to integrate work orders, GPS asset tracking, warehouse tracking, and more in one easy-to-use software and hardware solution. Learn more in this solution spotlight episode.

What is geofencing in a nutshell? Join Christian in this quick episode as he unpacks the definition, implementation, and use cases for geofencing. Although typically known for construction, geofences can be implemented in a variety of different scenarios. Tune in to hear more.
One of the questions we hear frequently is "Can the government track me with RFID?" Is it possible? What would they need in order to do it? Are my RFID tags in their tracking systems now? Get all these answers and more in this podcast episode.
In this episode, we cover the spectrum of IoT tracking technologies, including Barcode, RFID, Bluetooth also known as BLE, LTE/Cellular, and Satellite/GPS. What are the 3 major questions when considering which IoT tracking tag is best for your supply chain? They are the following:
- Is the tag active or passive?
- What is the communication method?
- What is the information being communicated?
With these three questions answered, you will begin to understand which tags provide the best coverage, connectivity, and visibility for your supply chain efforts. Tune in or watch the episode to learn more about these tags and the benefits they can provide!
