Mobile data capture: Scandit, a developer of
software-based bar-code scanning solutions
for smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices, has launched Scandit Flow, a mobile data
capture development platform that supports
a wide variety of bar-code-scanning intensive
workflows across the supply chain, including
proof of delivery, inventory management, and
asset management. Companies interested
in trying Scandit Flow can sign up for a free
30-day trial.
Scandit Flow makes it easy to migrate data
capture solutions from expensive dedicated
hardware scanners and outdated Windows
CE devices to the latest iOS and Android devices, while significantly reducing the upfront
investment in hardware and software.
Flow allows customers to build, deploy,
run, and manage mobile applications faster by
providing out-of-the-box scanning workflows
and prebuilt solution accelerators built with
supply chain operations in mind. Customers
can also run and deploy their own HTML and
JavaScript to enable custom workflows and
integrate with existing IT systems, thereby
leveraging modules for bar-code scanning,
signature capture, image storage, offline
databases, and native maps. (Scandit, www.

Supply chain orchestrator program: Third-party logistics service provider Damco has
introduced its new Supply Chain Orchestrator
program. This control tower solution enables
companies to improve overall supply chain
visibility, performance, and optimization.
Damco’s Supply Chain Orchestrator provides a single coordination point, integrating,
validating, and distributing data across supply
chain partners. The Damco system fully integrates fourth-party logistics provision (4PL)
with predictive and analytical techniques,
allowing teams to detect and respond to
events before they affect performance.
The program is based on a three-step
approach so companies can evolve from gaining end-to-end visibility, through enhancing
day-to-day supplier performance, to finally
optimizing the complete supply chain across
all providers.
The Damco Supply Chain Orchestrator
dashboard provides the one-stop transparency needed to manage the whole end-to-end
supply chain regardless of provider, the company says. Shipment-related KPIs (key performance indicators) and other performance
metrics are instantly available, with automated exception alerts highlighting issues that
could affect the business. (Damco, www.
