When FedEx or UPS drops off a package at a business, a secretary or receiving clerk signs for it, might enter it in a logbook and then send it to the correct person. Problems arise when that package is misplaced - an all-too-common occurrence. Tom Leonard has a solution. Leonard runs Archon Interactive LLC in Londonderry, a company that provides paperless warehouse management and supply chain solutions.
His newest product, called WaveTrakMTS (Materials Tracking System), is a software system that uses wireless technology to track every movement of a package from sender to receiver, provide real-time online information about its location and automatically send e-mail messages to let the shipper know it has left the building and notify the receiver the moment it arrives.The company has grown as a result of the success of its products. Leonard hired four employees this year, bringing his total headcount to nine. Customers include Boston Scientific, Raytheon, Teradyne, Sanmina and Future Electronics. Archon Interactive's products are installed in companies worldwide including in Asia, Europe, North America and South America.To learn more about Archon Interactive, visit archon-interactive.com.Leonard says installing WaveTrakWMS (Warehouse Management System) at Teradyne reduced manpower needs by about 50 percent, allowing employees to move to other jobs within the company. Sanmina, an electronics manufacturer, reported the WMS system's wireless and bar code technology reduced receiving times from days to hours and allowed it to reduce staff by 30 percent.WaveTrakMTS was launched this summer and joins a suite of material handling solutions offered by the company including WaveTrakWMS, which tracks the movement of materials within a company virtually without the need for data entry and the errors that could come from that. Both systems integrate RFID technology to identify and track materials.
