Vestigo Corporation is an Application Service Provider (ASP) offering an Internet based Inventory Management service for returnable containers under the name Vestigo™. Our proprietary and Patent Pending service provides an electronic and archived record of accountability at each step of the supply chain.
This inventory management tool, for all manner of returnable containers, will provide tracking accountability either individually (e.g. Bar Code or RFID) or for a pool of shipping assets. Unlike a GPS locator service, Vestigo provides detailed reporting of each movement and archives each transaction.
Examples of reports include inventory by location and asset ID, shipments to/from by customer or location, either individually or by group or by date range plus numerous configurations of first alert or exception reports. These exception reports are automatically distributed by the service using e-mail with a follow up for issues that are not resolved promptly. Other reporting functions include Maximum/Minimum inventory protection, excessive dwell time or stranded assets.
The database of archived transactions is secure and password protected and can be queried by any of the data inputs from the original transactions.
The service requires no up front fees and is available to anyone with a PC and Internet access. The service is infinitely scalable.
We offer the ability to download data either through generated reports or automatically through e-mail and integrate with existing systems. Flexible data entry points allow for easy interchanges and uploads of data through the Internet, e-mail or FTP.
Fees are normally charged per platform movement or a flat fee based on average monthly volumes. The direct financial benefits include reduced purchases and a smaller pool of shipping assets due to higher rates of recovery and increased asset velocity. Other benefits include a reduction in administration time, faster and easier count reconciliation, enhanced customer satisfaction and more cost efficient environmental decisions about returnable packaging and re-useable platforms and containers.
