iGPS taps Enfora to enhance its track and trace platform

Monday, June 14, 2010

Intelligent Global Pooling Systems (iGPS) announced an agreement with Enfora to incorporate its technology into iGPS’ asset tracking and tracing platform.

Under the terms of the agreement, iGPS will equip its pallets with Enfora’s Spider AT asset tag and will utilize Enfora’s asset management software to assist in managing those pallets.

The Spider AT is a battery-powered, wireless tag that will be utilized to retrieve information about iGPS’ pallets, including iGPS-defined alerts, specific events and pallet location.

Enfora’s asset management software provides the connectivity between the Spider AT and iGPS’ existing backend applications, enabling iGPS to enhance its management of pallets in the field. [end]
