Retail Scanning Suite 1.1.17

Descartes, a prominent player in mobile solutions aimed at enhancing collaboration between retailers and logistics service providers, presents the BearWare Retail Scanning Suite (RSS). This mobile application facilitates the scanning of cartons throughout the supply chain, from distribution centers to retail storefronts.

The RSS enhances operational efficiency by enabling carton-level tracking, which works in tandem with existing shipment-level tracking. This dual approach aids in proactively identifying inventory replenishment needs for each store, thereby helping to mitigate theft and reduce claims associated with lost cartons. Furthermore, it streamlines the process of shipment payment.

Additionally, the application is designed to support third-party pool distribution. This feature is particularly beneficial for retailers, as it reduces logistics costs and minimizes disruptions within stores by eliminating the need for unconsolidated direct shipments from suppliers and retailer distribution centers.
