KeyTone and arviem unveil strategic partnership to deliver trade monitoring and management services for global supply chain visibility

Cupertino, CA, February 09, 2011: KeyTone Technologies, a recognized leader in RFID and other sensor-based solutions, announced today its strategic partnership with arviem to deliver ”in-transit” trade monitoring and management services to Fortune 1000 companies around the globe. The partnership has resulted in deploying a managed service offering targeted at companies engaged in global trade transactions worldwide. This service offering is now supported by the release of a new comprehensive software platform to enable easy web based monitoring, analytics and reporting.

Managing logistics operations for a global supply chain is challenging. The ability to track, trace, monitor and respond to events throughout the transit of goods would make it much easier. Trying to manage a global supply chain without knowing exactly where cargo is located, its condition, who has custody of it, or when events occur, is experiencing the supply chain – not managing it. Simply stated, you can’t manage what you don’t know.

“Our focus as a company is ‘ensuring visibility and delivering results’. Tracking cargo while in-transit and ensuring visibility through to its destination is of critical importance in successfully managing the supply chain. Our relationship with arviem will open new opportunities for KeyTone in this valuable market” said Edwin Winder, EVP KeyTone. “This service is now available to all who want its benefits and the information can easily be integrated to existing supply chain systems of record. ”

“Real time visibility becomes a key competitive advantage. Applying technology to enhance global supply chain management based on visibility and content monitoring is the core of arviem's business” said Stefan Reidy, CEO of arviem. “Our KeyTone powered solution and service puts this capability within the reach of all companies. The partnership with KeyTone has already gained momentum with successful validations at major companies in the consumer products, chemical and pharmaceutical industries and we are looking to gain an increasing market share in this emerging area of focus.”

Networked Supply Chains Require Better Visibility

As manufactures and retailers increasingly depend on extended rosters of sourcing companies, the resulting networked supply chain requires improved visibility. Importers are using multiple sourcing vendors to improve their ability to respond to market demand and opportunities. With this increased sourcing agility comes the increased risk of delivery failure due to a supply chain disruption and, concurrently, the increased importance of visibility into each step of the supply chain. The ability to in real time identify the location and status of the sourced goods gives the importer the ability to fine tune its distribution channels, its inventory management and its ability to fulfill commitments to its end users. The ability to real time monitor the status of goods requires a combination of container based technology, back-end business applications and an extended network of logistics fulfillment partners. In response to this emerging demand, many companies are offering RFID, GSM and si...
