The Enhanced TrackX GAME Platform

With the integration of the broTECH iOS and Android mobility extensions and enhancements to TrackX's GAME platform, TrackX expands its product offering and strengthens its competitive differentiation in current and future customer deployments.

For example:

  • Mobility Enhancements: Newly integrated smart phone solutions can significantly reduce hardware costs and increase carrier and dedicated fleet monitoring in a yard environment. These enhancements further increase the customer's return on investment (ROI) via hardware cost reductions, more capability, and impacting more business processes within the customer's operational footprint.
  • Yard Management: Strong enhancements in dock management, a core strength of broTECH, will result in additional revenue opportunities within existing customers. This further establishes TrackX's leadership position in the delivery of supply chain solutions to large retail, consumer packaged goods (CPG), manufacturing, beverage, and transportation customers.
  • Brewery Supply Chain: New mobile apps used across the brewer, distributor and retailer give brewers visibility across the entire supply chain to track beer kegs and other products from the point of sale to the distributors, and to the end retailer and back.
