Total accountability for deployable assets — audited in minutes, not days.
A defence logistics function must account for high-value, sensitive and serialised assets across stores, vehicles and forward locations — with audits that today take days of manual scanning.
What the programme delivered.
Audit / stock-take time vs manual counts.
Asset audit accuracy achievable with RFID.
Typical payback on efficiency & loss avoidance.
Client identity withheld under confidentiality. Figures reflect outcomes from comparable RTLS/RFID deployments; your own numbers depend on use case, environment and execution.
The challenge
Manual stock-takes are slow, error-prone and pull personnel off task. Lost or unaccounted assets carry security as well as cost consequences, and audit-readiness is a recurring fire-drill.
Our approach
- Classify assets by sensitivity and define chain-of-custody checkpoints.
- Portal and handheld RAIN RFID for gate, store and vehicle reads.
- Rules for unauthorised movement and missing-item alerts.
- Tamper-evident, ruggedised tagging suited to the environment.
- Exception-based dashboards so staff act only on anomalies.
Technology & integration
Stack deployed: RAIN RFID portals + handhelds, ruggedised/tamper-evident tags; UWB or GPS for vehicle and yard location where needed.
Integration: Asset management / ERP, accountability and audit systems, secure on-prem options.
