JUPITER, FL - Locus Traxx Worldwide will be helping customers of The Oppenheimer Group in a new partnership, tracking and monitoring products in transit all over.
“We are excited to partner with Oppy, one of the leading companies in the produce industry,” David Benjamin, President and CEO of Locus Traxx Worldwide, said in a press release.
Locus Traxx monitors the temperature, location, and security of products in real time. According to Benjamin, the company’s IoT (Internet of Things) and EDI platforms made for an easy and fast integration between the two companies’ respective systems so that it could provide Oppy with the opportunity to enhance productivity and efficiency, develop new services and improve real-time decision making.
“Oppy is now using our original SmartTraxx GO products on their shipments in North America and our new GO XL (Ocean) product on shipments out of Peru,” Benjamin added. “That’s worldwide control.”
Steve Roosdahl, Executive Director of Supply Chain at The Oppenheimer Group, said in the release that a single order could previously require five to ten calls, multiplied by over 80,000 orders shipped in a year, meaning the company’s call volume could be as high as 800,000 conversations.
“By giving everyone involved in the transaction access to location and temperature details, knowledge is shared much more efficiently, allowing for out-of-temperature loads to be corrected and alternate solutions to be considered long before arrival,” he said.
Roosdahl also stated that every order requires good communication between Oppy transportation, sales, and quality assurance staff and the customer, making efficiency and quality very important. Locus Traxx, he said, “makes it easier to achieve both” by providing cost effective real-time temperature and truck location updates through EDI, visible in Oppy’s in-house ERP systems.
