Codetrack stands for tracking

Identify what comes in, track what goes out and control what happens in between.

Hands free directed picking from designated locations ensures strict stock rotation

How to keep things moving and customers satisfied

Life is easier when you know where everything is. In progess. In stock. In transit. You handle orders without a hitch. They arrive on time.

Identify

Is it bar coded? If not label it with a 2D code at goods in. Then you will know what it is, when it arrived, and who sent it.

Track

Scan it when it moves to capture data in a database. It will tell you what is where and its status.

Control

Sequence your orders. Send them to the mobile scanners your pickers and packers are using. Receive and act on alerts. Check progress in real time.

Save time

Cut out paperwork and spreadsheets. Stop looking for things you can't find. Deal with problems as they occur.

Make money

Some cxustomers say Codetrack pays for itself in 6-12 months, others say they can't do without it. Cost savings continue year or year. It helps the business grow.

Your plans

Let us know what are you need to do. Your ideal process? Your volumes? Your business system such as Sage or SAP.

Your system

Your Codetrack system will work as you want. We will agree the best ways to identify things, capture data, track movements, control events, integrate systems, and improve performance.

Codetrack solutions

Companies depend on Codetrack. They make parts for car assembly; supply retailers; ship cars world wide, deliver pallets and parcels. You name it.

What one thing would most improve your operation?

Do you know exactly what came in, what went out, and what happened in between? Do you need to identify what comes in, what goes out, or control what happens in between?

Unique barcodes, like the one on this bag, let distributors and carriers route and track items along the supply chain to customers. This identification process involves barcode scanning, order file lookup, dimensioning, carrier label selection, automated bagging and labelling, label validation and pre-sortation routing.

Your needs. Our experience. Technology.
Electronic data capture cuts out paperwork, error and delay. The inspector is checking one of many cars for shipment overseas. His Codetrack terminal displays "splats" to locate damage and "smart forms" to record it. Customers and insurance agents can see his reports at once on a web portal. The system has transformed productivity all round.

This robot is producing a car part. It has an interface to a "smart printer" to ensure it gets the right label. At the end of the cycle Codetrack registers the part in the manufacturing system. Later on Codetrack uses handheld computers to scan the parts and stillages and check they are in order of assembly for the car plant.

Petfood distributors have to work flexibly. To handle peaks in receiving sacks, picking orders and loading pallets Codetrack lets several operators sign on and off a job at this warehouse. The system has led to large increases in productivity and throughput. The warehouse manager sees no more need to count stock.

4. Warehousing

Result, Gladwell, AM, Ransomes, PBSL, Cousins
Intercontinental ferries transport ro-ro cargo as well as vehicles. Codetrack handles both categories at ports round the world. Handheld computers track movements at the docks and on and off vessels. Loading often continues until the ship sails on the tide. All manifests are 100% accurate as they must be to avoid a port refusing to unload some cargo.

5. Logistics

Hoegh, Poundgates, J P Corry, Davies Turner, EPC UK, Kautex/Auto parts, Medical Treatment, Pallex
Customers expect quick responses. Especially trade customers, like pet shops, who know when their consignments are about to leave. Codetrack is able to fulfil these orders because it checks every order as soon as it is entered. Whenever there is time Codetrack will hold the consignment and generate a rapid pick order for the goods.

6. Traceability

QVC, EPC, Linx, Davies Turner, Result, David Austin EPC Davies Turber, F1 RFID Every Codetrack system on this page offers the flexibility a demand driven supply chain requires.
  • The e-fulfilment system will bag, label and route any item you place on the infeed conveyor with its packing slip once the order details are on file.
  • The vehicle inspection system will remove a car from available stock as soon as it can alert the Codetrack shipping system
  • When QC rejects a car part the manufacture can have Codetrack program the robot to make another, subject to tooling and material availabiity
  • Codetrack will load an urgent request until the ship is ready to sail just as the petfood distributor delivers last minute orders.
Tell us what you want to do and we will provide a Codetrack system to do it.
Unique barcodes, like the one on this bag, let distributors and carriers route and track items along the supply chain to customers.
