Common questions
Can pallet tracking connect to transport and warehouse workflows?
Yes. 4RTY often integrates movement capture with TMS dispatch and WMS receiving so balances update closer to real events.
Do partners need their own portal?
Not always, but partner confirmation portals help when exchanges involve many external sites or carriers with frequent disputes.
How do you handle opening balance migrations?
Discovery reconciles starting positions from spreadsheets or ERP extracts, then cutover plans define how historical balances enter the system.
Can this support containers and totes, not only pallets?
Yes. Asset catalogs define types, grades and tracking rules per reusable packaging category.
