TAPPI Program Partner Starts Transportation Trial

Harnessing the promise of technology, one of TAPPI's program partners, VoIPcare Technology, has started a six-month trial period with members of the pulp and paper industry. The purpose is to evaluate the benefits and ROI associated with the use of VoIPcare's qMetrix™ software product for Transportation applications.

The trial program began out of efforts of the TAPPI's Shipping, Receiving and Warehousing (SRW) Committee following a yearlong study. Because of their design philosophy and background in data collection and information delivery, VoIPcare was chosen by the SRW team to design and implement the system.

Information that used to take days and even weeks to gather is now ready immediately at each step in the supply chain. As a result, participants throughout the supply chain transaction have access to the inspection data and photographs support the inspections. The VoIPcare system provides detailed information necessary to help the industry reduce the amount of in-transit damage currently experienced.
