Reusable Plastic Container Tracking
Make your reusable plastic containers actually come back
Turn a leaking container pool into a managed fleet
Reusable packaging is a sustainability win only if the assets survive the round trip. TrackAbout gives you the balances, aging, and accountability to make the circular model pay. When a retail or food customer reviews the systems behind your packaging program, TrackAbout answers with SOC 2 audited controls.
Barcode-based chain of custody that shows where every container is and how long it has been there.
Accurate end-user balances and billing statements for containers held past their terms.
Controlled online access so customers can see and reconcile the containers at their own sites.
A solution for every step of the container lifecycle
See cycle times, damage, and loss across the whole fleet
Barcode every tote, crate, liquid box, and RPC, then scan them on outbound loads, on return, through wash, and at damage inspection. Cycle-time and loss reporting show which customers and lanes your containers disappear at, and open data access lets you export everything to run your own reporting on inventories, cycle times, damage, and customer performance.
Eliminate delivery paperwork
Replace paper work orders and driver instructions with mobile point of sale (POS), and send work orders directly to Datacor ERP or other business management software.
Reconcile every load of full and collapsed containers
Verify outbound loads and inbound returns against what was planned, directly on the truck, so a shortfall is caught at the dock instead of at year-end inventory.
Wash, inspect, repair, retire
Route containers through wash and repair workflows, flag units for repair or retirement based on trip count and condition, and keep the hygiene and inspection records that food-contact packaging demands.
Settle damage disputes with a photograph, not an argument
Mobile scanning and photo capture document container condition at the moment it is observed — on the dock, on the truck, or at the wash line. Damage trends surface early, charges land on the right party, and disputes end before they start.
Bill for containers that stay out too long
Track per-trip and per-day balances by customer and location, apply your contract terms automatically, and turn containers sitting idle in the field into recovered revenue.
Let customers tell you when a return is worth a truck
Give customers app and portal access to report how many containers they hold and where. Your team dispatches a pickup when there is a full truckload, or enough volume to make the run pay for itself.
Scan a pallet of collapsed containers once
Collapsible containers stack by the hundred. Group them on a pallet and scan a single barcode instead of every unit, so returns move fast without losing a link in the chain.
WHAT WE TRACK
Powerful tools to track your most important returnable assets
Barcode every cylinder to build an ironclad chain of custody, know exactly where each one sits, and stop replacing assets you already own.
Trace refrigerant cylinders from fill through return so reporting stays accurate and more assets make it back from the field.
Keep high-value industrial, medical, and specialty gas cylinders under control with rental billing, testing records, and full lifecycle visibility.
Monitor fumigant cylinders through every fill, delivery, and return to hold the line on compliance and safeguard hazardous assets.
Log the location, maintenance, and inspection history of medical equipment so patient safety and audit readiness are never in question.
Track chemical containers by batch and lot number to enforce safety procedures, slash paperwork, and simplify regulatory compliance.
Follow kegs through every delivery and return to recover more of your float and bill customers accurately for what they are holding.
Whatever returnable asset your business ships or rents, bring it into one system for complete visibility and accountability.
