Item-level tracking in the cloud

Flatorb Inc develops tracking and automation systems that record the movement of goods, assets and work in a business. Its cloud software tracks each item and each step of a process, and the company says it can be set up in a matter of hours with minimal configuration. The firm's own software, Flatorb OCTO, is a software-as-a-service product for item-level tracking, and the company says a large set of modules lets it cover most of the processes a business runs.

The firm presents its approach as connecting physical operations to information that can be trusted. It describes its work as capturing a real event, such as a movement or a delivery, and recording it accurately so that the systems a business relies on hold the same facts as the warehouse or plant floor.

RFID, barcode and IoT devices for warehouses and plants

Flatorb supplies RFID, barcode, GPS and IoT tracking for warehousing, supply chain and production work. Its devices are described as plug-and-play, so they capture data automatically once installed, and the company says they are designed for industrial settings such as manufacturing and supply chains.

Barcode tracking is offered for supply chain and warehouse applications, and the firm says these setups automate routine operations. The firm also covers custom tracking for complex business and production needs, where the solution is shaped to a client's own processes rather than supplied off the shelf.

Connecting tracking data to ERP systems

A central part of the offer is linking tracking data to existing enterprise resource planning systems. The company says its devices capture the data that an ERP system needs, so that a business does not have to re-enter records by hand. The firm describes the aim as knowing what is in stock, where it is, what has moved, and who holds custody of an asset, with condition and service history made traceable.

The firm also lists material use and production progress among the things its systems can show as work happens, so that managers can compare the operation with the records held in their business systems.
