tracking services to their customers
(Toyryla, 1999).
4. Introduction (background & motivation)
4
Multi-company supply networks make
tracking information available via a
Web page, (Martinez-Sala et al., 2009).
There are some occasions where
automated tracking systems are
integrated with the tracking systems to
the operating systems of the customer
company (Benedikt et al., 2012).
However, this method is usually very
time-consuming and often
cumbersome.
5. Introduction (background & motivation)

The aim of this research work is twofold:
Firstly, to analyze and present basic
requirements of tracking systems
and investigate various existing
tracking principles and,
Secondly, to present a new
approach for constructing solutions
for online tracking in multi-
company networks.
6. Theoretical Framework
6
Supply chain tracking or visibility is nowadays getting much
more attention from companies in order to ensure security and
minimizing associated risks (Hinkka, 2012).
According to Musa et al. (2014), supply chain visibility can be
defined to mean the capacity of the supply chain to view a
product’s lifecycle from concept generation to product’s end-of-
life activities and processes.
This tracking system supports manufacturing companies to
adopting just in time operations (Hui, 2008).
The tracking of supply network often used to describe a product
in the forward direction, whereas tracing is used to infer the
product’s path and history from downstream to upstream of the
supply chain (Dabbene et al., 2014).
7. Theoretical Framework
7
The supply chain tracking enables companies to support
managers in choosing activities, methods and technologies to
increase supply chain security without reducing its efficiency
(Pero and Sudy, 2014).
The functionality of tracking system concerns with three basic
attributes such as, identification of the entity at the checkpoint,
the location of the checkpoint, and the time of the arrival of the
entity (Kärkkäinen et al., 2010).
In multi-company tracking, different parties within the supply
networks require to liaise and cooperate with each other in
order to fulfil the requirements for tracking systems
(Shamsuzzoha and Helo, 2012).
The information content can be varied between tracking
systems (Liwei et al., 2009).
9. Basic Requirements of Tracking in Logistics
9
Itemized tracking: perspectives from independent transporters
In today’s business, it is highly fashionable to allow an
outside transport company to delivery the items.
This involves keeping track of deliveries and shipments,
and making sure that the inbound flow of goods is as
‘Just-in-Time’ as possible.
In such a case, the monitoring will always be reactive,
not proactive.
10. Basic Requirements of Tracking in Logistics
10
Supply chain logistics: inbound and outbound tracking
In supply chain and logistics tracking both inbound and
outbound tracking of goods are essential.
The case of outbound logistics can be considered as the
shipments from consolidation warehouse to end
customer.
In case of inbound logistics tracking following
situations are considered as important for any company:
a) Lost goods, b) locating a specific product/unit, c)
warehouse problems, d) order problems, e) time spent
on customer inquiries etc.
11. Various Tracking Principles
11
Hybrid system (RFID and GPS tracker)
The hybrid system which is a combination of RFID (Radio
Frequency Identification) and GPS (Global Positioning System)
can be used to cover different parts of the supply chain
network.
Rather than focusing on one tracking technology only, it is
better to use a mix of two.
It is studied that both inbound and outbound transports have
different needs.
The inbound deliveries are more diverse, come from many
places,
The outbound shipments on the other hand, move together
(most often) are worth a lot of money (usually complete
product) and may need to be tracked very exactly.
12. Various Tracking Principles
12
Cloud solution for logistics tracking
The basic principle of Cloud solution for logistics tracking uses
an online program platform (Cloud-ware) that supports both
inbound and outbound logistics easily.
This solution generally interfaced with a company’s current
ERP (SAP) system in order to integrate and store of all the
company's data.
However, several factors talk against using ERP (SAP) to
integrate with the online platform for tracking logistics chain
(SAP, 2005).
13. Various Tracking Principles
13
RFID / Barcode combination system
In order to reduce cost a company often uses single tracking
solution such as RFID tags or barcode.
However, only using RFID tags or barcode cannot often
meet the tracking requirements for a company.
The best solution will of course be to use a mix of all
possibilities.
The uses of barcodes are old and well-known technology
already and comparatively easy to use.
However, unlike barcodes the RFID tags are a bit more
complicated to integrate with the any tracking system
17. 17
The function of the portal is to act as an integrator of data. The
HU screen shows (previous Figure) this principle:
the main data is taken from case company’s ERP (SAP) and
transport company’s but case data could also be added by
suppliers.
During the pilot project, two the most simple forms of data
communication have been used to establish contact with
warehouse and transport: text files communicated via FTP
server (in the UN EDIFACT standard) and communication
directly via Salesforce’s own web interface/application
interface.
Combining Data from Source
19. 19
Connecting Trackers to the Correct Handling
Unit of the Logistics Item
One important feature of the prototype tracking portal is
providing a simple system for “electronically” attaching a
tracker to a certain handing unit number of an item needs to be
tracked.
While it is very easy to physically attach a tracker device to an
item, the coupling of a tracker’s identification number (its IMEI
number, much like a mobile phone) and a handling unit would
require logging in into the portal and manually writing in
numbers.
In an attempt to simplify this process for factory and warehouse
personnel, an easy-to-use smartphone application was created.
20. 20
By scanning the tracker’s identification number bar code and
the handling unit's bar code, the mobile app will provide the
portal with the information that these two units have now been
coupled.
Using this mobile app elaborate the tracking facility outside the
warehouse, which is often needed by the manager remotely to
track the status of delivery items within the warehouse.
Even knowing the handling unit number of a shipment,
managers would be able to track the items already loaded on a
vessel which is integrated with mobile SIM card.
This SIM card transfers the necessary information of the items
to the mobile phones of the managers remotely through the
assistance of AIS portal system.
Connecting Trackers to the Correct Handling
Unit of the Logistics Item
21. 21
The importance of shipment tracking is getting more and more
attraction within supply and delivery network.
At the same time, delivery companies are concern in today’s
supply chain risk management and like to minimize it by
implementing appropriate and cost effective tracking devices or
tools.
In order to develop the predominant tracking systems,
companies are forced often to invest to integrate different
tracking systems or to rely on manual queries to access the
information.
The aim of this paper was to analyze and present various
available tracking technologies with their functionalities or
principles as we all as the requirements of supply chain and
logistics networks tracking.
Conclusions and Future Works
22. 22
The paper makes two distinct contributions to current logistics
literature.
First, it finds out the appropriate tracking approaches
feasible to multi-company supply networks.
Second, it presents an online approach that can be used
successfully to gather and convey tracking information in
today’s difficult logistics environments.
In future research more case examples will be conducted based
on online tracking system in order to generalize the presented
approach.
More available technologies and tools on supply chain tracking
and tracing can be investigated to get optimum performance.
Additionally, an in-house tracking device will be designed,
developed and tested that can be used for goods tracking
purpose.
