The "Trakit - Carrier App" is an iPhone-based solution that allows the "Carrier Representatives" to update in near real time the transit and delivery coordinates of totes earmarked for deliveries across the city to various locations. The app combines the robust crowd-sourced GPS functionality and integration of BLE technology. Depending on environment of use, one or multiple technologies are brought to function in tandem. It fuses the use of ‘smart objects’ (tags, labels, beacons…) to create an interactive supply chain. Thus it offers end-to- end traceability of everything manufactures - all the way from factory floor to any location!
