Returnable Transport Items (RTIs), such as pallets, carts, containers, and other reusable assets, are essential to keeping supply chains moving. Yet for many shippers, they’re also a major source of financial loss due to poor visibility, missing items, and inefficient manual registration.
At TransFollow, we believe shippers deserve endtoend transparency and real-time control over their RTIs. That’s why RTI management is fully embedded into our digital transport workflows, giving organisations the ability to track, register, and reconcile RTIs at every mission stage, with clear accountability across all partners.
A real-life example: Royal Lemkes
The Dutch floriculture company Royal Lemkes was losing thousands of euros every year due to missing packaging and the lack of a proper RTI registration process. By digitising their RTI management with TransFollow, they gained:
- Real-time insight into where every RTI is located in the chain
- Clear accountability, thanks to digital signatures and automatic data sharing across their partners
- Reduced loss and waste, both financially and operationally
- More efficient planning, supported by accurate RTI balances and fewer disputes
The result? A more transparent, sustainable, and collaborative logistics ecosystem - one that eliminates unnecessary manual work and puts an end to the constant search for “lost” assets.
Why is this important?
For many shippers, RTIs represent significant value and losing them hurts both the bottom line and supply chain efficiency. With TransFollow’s digital RTI management:
- No more manual spreadsheets
- No more uncertainty around who’s responsible
- No more avoidable losses
Just clarity, visibility, and confidence at every step of the journey.
