Intelligent Global Pooling Systems (iGPS), based in Orlando, Florida, has revolutionized the pallet-rental business. Its innovative plastic pallets offer dramatic economic and environmental improvements over the 1 billion wood pallets in use in the United States. But iGPS pallets cost twice as much as typical wood pallets, so tracking them is crucial. The company and its solution partner, Xterprise, used Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) software from Microsoft and other vendors plus RFID hardware to build a best-of-breed asset-management application. Now iGPS can manage its pallets across extended customer supply chains in real time, deploy pallets more efficiently, prevent losses, and invoice customers with unprecedented accuracy.
