Barcode and RFID App Enables True Visibility in Supply Chains

CodeREADr allows supply chain leaders to extend real-time visibility into the furthest corners of their networks, even to partners with no formal systems in place. With just a mobile device and a login, an entire supply chain can contribute to accurate, live tracking data that supports better decision-making, faster resolutions, and improved service levels.

Background: The Disconnected Supply Chain

Achieving visibility is one of the most critical objectives for supply chains. Multiple disconnected systems, stakeholders with limited incentives to share data, and outdated manual tracking methods often result in blind spots, delays, and inefficiencies. But what if there were a simple way to unify the visibility across all partners, without requiring deep systems integration?

The Challenge of Disconnected Supply Chains

Supply chains frequently include manufacturers, logistics providers, distribution centers, and retailers, each using their own systems, or none at all. This fragmentation causes:

  • Delayed or missing data
  • Manual reconciliation between partners
  • Lack of real-time traceability
  • Limited accountability and auditability

As a result, even the most advanced supply chain teams are forced to work reactively instead of proactively.

Enter CodeREADr: Mobile-First Visibility for Every Supply Chain Layer

CodeREADr is a mobile data collection platform that empowers any partner in your supply chain to capture accurate, real-time data using a smartphone or tablet. Whether it’s a warehouse associate scanning inbound pallets or a delivery driver confirming receipt at a drop point, every scan tells a story—and builds visibility.

Why CodeREADr Works in Disconnected Environments

  1. No ERP/WMS Integration Required
    • CodeREADr works independently of backend systems.
    • Export data via API, webhooks, or spreadsheets to any destination.
  2. Decentralized Capture, Centralized Oversight
    • Each stakeholder scans barcodes, NFC tags, or enters data at the point of activity.
    • All data flows to a secure, cloud-based dashboard accessible to authorized parties.
  3. Offline Functionality
    • Users can scan and collect data even without internet access.
    • Data syncs automatically when the device reconnects.
  4. Custom Workflows Without Coding
    • Create workflows for receiving, dispatching, inspection, asset transfer, and more.
    • Add logic, validations, photo capture, GPS stamps, and user IDs for accountability.
  5. Proof of Performance and Audit Trails
    • Every scan is timestamped and geo-tagged.

Optional photos, signatures, and form responses provide indisputable evidence of activity.

Real-World Example: Serial Tracking Across Third-Party Providers

A high-value equipment manufacturer uses CodeREADr to monitor serialized items across third-party logistics partners. Each time an item changes hands, the new handler scans it using the CodeREADr app. The manufacturer gains end-to-end visibility into where every unit is, who touched it, and when, without any partners needing custom software or integrations.
