Ayla Supply Chain Asset Tracking Solution
Rapid connectivity and intelligence for supply chain asset tracking
Background
Manufacturers, quick serve restaurants, and transportation companies can benefit from tracking the location of supply chain assets in transit between various plants as well as supplier and customer locations. Parts, products, partially finished goods, food, and other high value assets are required to travel through complex supply chains that often require transfers to different transportation systems and temporary storage during the journey. A holistic IoT-based track and trace solution can prevent the loss of these high value assets when in transit, avoid supply chain disruption, and optimize the dock loading/unloading schedule. The time it takes to build the infrastructure for device connectivity, management, and security is too long to build using in-house services. The building of both a web-based and mobile application experience is a complex process. Ayla addresses these challenges, using a set of pre-built services, dashboards, and mobile applications that enterprises can buy as a solution and deliver their track and trace solution to market faster.

Overview
IoT based track and trace solutions need to connect to the cloud, so the solution can be managed remotely (such as lifecycle management of the tracker devices), and data from the tracking devices can be harnessed to optimize the supply chain (for example real-time tracking of assets as they are move through the supply chain). Ayla Track and Trace is a cloud-based IoT solution, delivered as a platform-as-a-service that enables manufacturers, quick service restaurants, and transportation companies to deploy supply chain based track and trace solutions. This includes a web-based and mobile applications, an administrator dashboard with all features needed to secure and control a fleet of tracker devices, and the foundational services needed to connect, secure, and manage a holistic supply chain tracking solution.
