Ship2Save announced today that California-based MegaTrux Inc. has extended its logistics offering with a cutting-edge asset management and tracking system using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and Ship2Save’s Operation Management System. The multi-dock deployment has enabled MegaTrux to automate operations and provide added value services to its clientele.

With this deployment we have streamlined our aptitude to increase our supply chain visibility. Our RFID services allow us to display more informative and more accurate information to our customers in real time. It serves as an important tool in delivering key performance indicators [KPI] that enable us to proactively improve day-to-day operations and provide superior end to end logistical services. Moving forward, we continue to evaluate new areas of implementation for this technology such as RTLS (real time location systems) and we anticipate extending our RFID system from our warehousing and distribution to Trans-Pacific container, storage and cross-docking imports. ” Says K.C Pelle Executive Vice-President at MegaTrux Inc.
