Why lose assets like plastic containers and pallets when you can track and reuse them? A strategic marketing alliance signed by RedPrairie, a provider of supply chain execution software solutions, and TriEnda/Wilbert Plastic Services, a manufacturer of plastic pallets and containers, will allow users to do just that.

The companies will market the use of RedPrairie's RFID-enabled solutions for tracking and managing mobile assets by customers with closed-loop supply chains.

"Users will place RFID tags on their returnable products, which can then be scanned at multiple touch points throughout the supply chain," says Bob Klimko, director of marketing, Trienda.
