Trolley Management System Smarter Tracking, Lower Losses, Better Asset Control
In manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain operations, managing returnable assets like trolleys, bins, and pallets is a constant challenge. Losses, poor visibility, manual tracking, and delayed returns directly impact operational efficiency and cost.
A Trolley Management System (TMS) solves these challenges by bringing automation, real-time tracking, and complete visibility to trolley movement and maintenance.
What Is a Trolley Management System?
A Trolley Management System is a barcode or RFID-based tracking solution designed to monitor the movement, usage, and condition of trolleys across plants, warehouses, and customer locations.
Each trolley is uniquely identified and tracked from dispatch to return, ensuring accountability and control at every stage.
Key Challenges in Traditional Trolley Management
- Manual registers and Excel tracking
- Frequent trolley loss or misplacement
- No real-time visibility of trolley movement
- Delayed returns from customers
- Poor maintenance tracking
- Limited reporting and accountability
How a Trolley Management System Works
- Unique Identification
Each trolley is assigned a metal barcode, QR code, or RFID tag for long-term durability. - Outbound Tracking (Trolley Out)
- Operator scans trolley barcode/RFID
- Enters customer, invoice, vehicle, date & time details
- Data is instantly saved to the central server
- Inbound Tracking (Trolley In)
- Trolleys are scanned upon return
- System captures return date, time, and customer details automatically
- Maintenance Tracking
- Record maintenance history
- Track service dates, spare replacements, and next service due
- Available on mobile and web platforms
- Centralized MIS & Reporting
- Trolley in/out reports
- Plant-wise and customer-wise tracking
- Scrap and maintenance status reports
