Austin, Texas - June 2, 2009 - TAKE Supply Chain, a leading provider of real-time supply chain execution and reverse logistics software solutions, today announces the immediate availability of the company's Asset Tracking and Maintenance Solution, a Web-based, mobile application that automates asset data collection and improves the tracking, visibility and reporting of fixed, capital and physical assets. The system combines handheld barcode tag printing, RFID scanner technology and a linkage to the data system of record, enabling organizations to make operational decisions based on highly accurate, real-time asset data, while reducing labor costs and improving operational efficiencies by streamlining traditionally manually intensive processes. TAKE Supply Chain's Asset Tracking and Maintenance solution is based on technologies currently deployed by TAKE Supply Chain and parent company, TAKE Solutions, across various manufacturing, distribution, financial and educational organizations worldwide.
